“To Kill a Mockingbird” is a wonderful and unforgettable novel. Not only does he show how dramatic and sad old town Maycomb is, but through his unique writings, some major political and critical conflicts are going on in this tired old Southern town. Not only in general such as education, friendship, neighborhood, but also the peaceful in individuals such as family and characteristics of the people themselves. In a book that can still cover so many issues, Harper Lee must have had a lot of experience and deeply understood that time. This is why the book lives on, becomes literature and receives a lot of love from the public. One of the problems that most accompanies the story and that interests me is social racism between whites and blacks. Fiction is usually based on what happened in real life. This novel, Harper Lee, is based on what she saw and writes about it. Racism was quite popular at that time. At the beginning of the story Harper doesn't want to go directly into the problems but wants them to grow slowly through the vision of a little girl – Scout. It begins with the memories of a child "when he was almost thirteen". This is another interesting way in terms of writing style, starting slowly and calmly but ultimately having a deep meaning. In this novel and in all the first 15 chapters, racism exists in people's minds, in actions and above all in dialogue, in the questions asked of them by the people around. Social relationships also cause problems like this. White people are always racist, usually mess with people around, and rarely respect black people. They always think that white people are the definition of perfect and other people aren't, which is not true. We all know white people drive this thing, but in “To Kill A Mockingbi… in the middle of the paper… from the town of Maycomb that time. This happens a lot in real life, even nowadays, not only regarding racism but also how you look, what you look like, rich or poor, nice or not. In summary, the social relationship between these people here, this old town of Maycomb is complicated and quite tense. This novel taught us so much, thanks to Harper Lee, one of the greatest writers of all time. At that time it opened our eyes to racism and compared to today it has become much better. People are equal, no matter the color of your skin, your religion or where you come from, the way you look, we are all the same and we are all the same: human. So instead of treating each other badly, we should all come together and make the world a better place. Works Cited Lee, Harper. To Kill a Mockingbird. New York: Warner Books, December 1982.
