.... what was right and I guess back in the day.
One of the easiest ones of prejudice, that a blind person can see after reading this book, is racial. See, blacks had it rough back then and thing did not go in their favor in many cases. One of my proofs and example of this is founded in the book (220) when Jem is taking to Atticus about the trial and how it was not fair to Tom Robertson.

There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." The children test his boundaries as well as their o .....

He says it’s to protect them from evil cases like Tom’s case, which is another example of making women appear weak.
