    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout, the narrator, asks her father, “Atticus, are we going to win it?” to which he replies, “No honey” (Lee 87). Atticus knew his hometown of Maycomb would never emerge from its racial inequality, but he did everything he could to prevent it. Racial inequality is the unjust treatment of minority groups, such as African Americans. While some believe America can achieve true racial and social equality, America is unable to rid itself of racism because it is a human characteristic for people to group together with those whom they share similarities, and years of unequal opportunities for minorities will not be forgotten.…

    From a very young age, I have always held a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong. Being able to sense when something throws off my moral compass is something that I pride myself on, which is how I relate deeply with Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman. In Watchman, Scout is now in her twenties, and trying to wrap her head around the rapidly changing times of the 1950s, when the entire country is on the brink of major social change on the racial front. Traveling from progressive New York City to her childhood home of Maycomb, Alabama, only deepens her confusion on racial issues. Scout is forced to formulate her own opinions when discovering the deepening troubles concerning race in her hometown……
