To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper is not racist. Everything racist the author used in the novel, such as the word nigger, was used to make a point and so it would affect people more. If it were a white man that raped Mayella, it wouldn't affect the reader as much because they have negative feelings for or qualms toward black people. Harper Lee trys to make his novel realistic to bring out her message. …showed first 75 words of 602 total…

They need to have the courage to make the right decision for the sake of innocent people and not make the ignorant choice. The book should be uesd in classrooms because it's very effective in touching people. It should be a fundamental for teaching this topic in class.
