Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer.
This novel is mainly about race because of the trial of Tom Robinson and the time period that it is in. At this point in time white and black people were not treated equally. White's acted like they were superior over blacks. Anyone that hung out with blacks was not liked in the town. For an example, Dolphus Raymond has mixed kids and all of his friends are Negroes. Every white person treats him like he is crazy. I think that Harper Lee was trying to convince people that readers that everyone is created and should be treated equally. She did this by putting it in the perspective of Scout. She doesn't favor whites over blacks and her father, Atticus is defending Tom Robinson. He obviously gives respect to Negroes and is trying to convince the white jury that they shouldn't prejudice against blacks.
I also think that this story is about gender because you are reading in the perspective of Scout. She is a young girl who is growing older and is pressured to act more feminine. She has grown up along her brother Jem's side. She didn't have a mother so she is very confused when people like aunt Alexandra are telling her how to dress when she is comfortable with her self.
