TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

To Kill A Mockingbird
Injustice is a problem that everyone faces. Nobody likes to suffer from injustice; yet,
it is done to other people constantly. In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, written by
Harper Lee, there are three characters that suffer great injustice. Their names are
Atticus, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley.
Atticus, a very smart man, suffers from being white and taking a Negro case. He was
constantly persecuted for his decision, which made him work even harder at winning the
case. Even though his family was teased and ridiculed, he stuck with his choice and
worked as hard as he could to ignore the threats and harassment. He did very well to
ignore all the abuse and was greatly respected after the trial was over.
Another man, Tom Robinson, was charged with a crime he didn't commit. His side of the
story wasn't believed because he was black, which shows the biggest injustice of all
time. Throughout the whole trial, he did not retaliate against the white people, he did
not even get mad because he was falsely accused; he just showed the level of respect that
everyone deserves. He handled the injustice with a manner the whites didn't deserve at
all.
Boo Radley suffered a lot of injustice as well. Many accusations were made about him even
though they were untrue. Just because he didn't leave his house, people began to think
something was wrong. Boo was misunderstood and shouldn't have suffered the injustices he
did. Boo didn't even get a chance to deal with it, he didn't even know what was being
done to him.
Injustice is a very big problem, especially in the time period of this novel. People were
looked at and treated differently just for being a different color, or defending someone
of the other color. The worst part is that everyone else either puts up with it or turns
their head. Atticus, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley suffered when there was absolutely no
reason for them to. To Kill A Mockingbird illustrated one of the worst crimes people can
commit against each other. Injustice.
