Scout a younge girl in the book " To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee, shows us that maybe kids have a better sence of morality than adults. In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", a small southern town accuses a black man named Tom Robinson of rape, when clearly he was innocent. This story is about a white man named Atticus that fights for Tom Robinsons case but in the end does not suceed.

It was the 1930's in a small southern town in Maycomb County, the town that accused the innocent black man Tom Robinson of rpeing a white women named Mayela Ewell. Mayela Ewell incisted that Tom Robinson was the one that abused her but through all the questions and evidence in court it was ovbious that Bob Ewell was the guilty one, but Tom Robinson was blamed for it instead. Maycombs countys treatment towards Tom Robinson was unfair, but back in the 1930's they believed that taking a black mans word over white mans word, was wrong. So even though everyone knew in there mind that Bob Ewell commited the crime Tom Robinson was pronounced guilty and Atticus lost his case. "It aint right" Said Atticus's son Jem.

Maycomb county created an image of Boo Rdley as a scary monster that ate squirels, because he never came out of his house. It was said that he would watch you as you slept. But in the end of the book he turns out to be a nice man that gives people presents and saves Atticus's kids from Bob Ewell. Scouts thoughts toward Boo Radley at the beginning of the story were all mean, like if you went near his house he would get you. But Scout shortely learned that none of these myths were true. Boo Radley was then considered a mocking bird, just like Tom Robinson. "Mocking birds dont do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They dont eat up peoples gardens, dont nest in corncribs, they dont do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. Thats why its a sin to kill a mocking bird."

"I dont know, but they did it. They've done it before and they did it tonight and theyll do it again and when they do it, it seems like only children weep." This quote means that kids are more sensitive to the idea of this treatment towards Tom Robinson. Why is it that children seem to care more about how people are treated than adults? Why do some people hate others they dont even know? Why are some people treated differently than others? These questions go directly to the heqart of Harper Lee's novel.
