T.I My Life Your Entertainment (21-25)

I chose this song because it perfectly represents Tom Robinson’s situation. The people who live in Maycomb, do not even care that Tom is a real person, and they just think that his life is for their entertainment, hence the title. Tom Robinson is in a very serious predicament, that may end in his death, and the only people who care about him are his “adoring fans”, aka the black population of the town, Atticus and his family (not counting Alexandria), and Miss Maudie. I believe that if the town’s people began to view Tom Robinson as a person rather than an object for them to observe then he might have survived this predicament.
