When our teacher mentioned we were going to start reading "To KIll A Mockingbird" I didn't have any interest in reading it. Even after reading the forst few chapters I still wasn't much interested in it. But as we progessed through the book it started to catch my attention. And especially now that we began seeing the movie. It just gives you a different aspect of it. I really don't like reading or hearing about unjustice as it is mentioned in the book. But what specially caught my attention was the trial. How you can still see the discrimination happening even after the abolishment of racial segregation. The colored are sitting on the top and the whites occupied the buttom section. The jury and the panel were also all white. And even after Atticus proves Tom's innosence they say his guilty. You can tell that it's not only Mayella and her family against him it's practically the whole town. So you can tell discrimination is still a factor.
