I only see in black and white (Ch21-25)

In To Kill a Mocking Bird, racism is always becoming a constant battle. We have the blacks on one side. Calpurnia, who takes care of the Finch kids, is a prime example of slavery. However, she is treated as an equal. Calpurnia brings us back into a whole different realm of understanding. We can’t see it all but would we want to? People have to live like this everyday. When Calpurnia brings Scout and Jem to her church, I think that’s when we start to feel a greater respect towards the blacks in the community. I admire the way people handle racism because it’s always an ongoing battle. This town is truly, unmistakably a place that is filled with so much hate. Atticus is not someone that can be compared to any body else in the book. It takes absolute bravery to do what he has done. How would you feel if you were the only one standing a room full of people sitting? Atticus stood for what he believed is right. When no one else will stand for Tom Robinson, he was the one that took his case. Atticus believes for the greater good of the community and I think that he is proven to be one of the most influential people in the book. Nobody is perfect in the book because they all can be categorized as the same. This category can only be named as racist. We are all like that in one way or another, but some show it more than others. However, the more I read and look into each and every character, I see that they are all just stuck in Maycomb. Like Boo Radley is stuck in his house, they have nowhere to go. Therefore, the people of Maycomb can not change their views.
