Introduction
Introductory statement and or quote

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin” (Lee).

Humans are born with prejudice and it is the society in which they live that transforms their perception of prejudice; right or wrong.

Thesis Statement

Topic statement

Outlines your key points.

Lee shows the impact of racism in her novel To Kill a Mockingbird and how each character deals with it. Lee uses the character Scout to explore prejudice among race, social class, and other disclosures in order to help the readers see the effects prejudice.

Body

Paragraph 1: First topic to discuss.

Introductory statement and  quote.

“Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another” (ADL).

Facts about topic.

Racism affects all people and has for centuries. It wasn’t until the great depression that racism really started showing not only in race, but in social class as well as the character of people. “Maycomb was a ...tired old town…” (Lee). With the great depression affecting everyone people had no money and stayed home or worked all the time. However, for some people “it was a time of vague optimism” (Lee). The hope of something better was right around the corner; or at least they thought.

Wrap up first topic and or transition to next topic.

Little did the people of Maycomb know that the realism of racism was just getting started.

Paragraph 2: Second topic to discuss.

Introductory statement and  quote.

Unlike adults who associate with the way things have always been, Scout enjoys questioning why things have to be the way they are.

Facts about topic.

We see the innocence of a child through Scout and how she seems so eager to know why. When her father defended Mr. Cunningham Scout wanted to know “if Mr. Cunningham would every pay [them]” (Lee). Her father responded “not in money” (Lee). Scout knew that meant he would pay with crops he grew. Scout might asks a lot of questions, but she learned and from them as well.

She learned enough to know the more you ask the more you know.

Reword thesis statement: Lee's use of Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird to show racism and how each character deals with it differently makes witnessing it less hurtful.

Now, list the three times racism is portrayed.

Tom Robinson accused of rape

Tom - trial is a formality. It is inevitable that Tom will be found guilty.

Atticus - In the face of adversity shows his children how to act when faced with hardships.

Aunt Alexandra - shows sympathy for a tribe in africa living in bad conditions, but no
    sympathy for the blacks living the same way in Maycomb.

Boo Radley - seen as a threat even though people have never met him. Predetermined
    ideals about people.

Dolphus Raymond - He chose the life he has even though people frown upon it.
    He pretends to drink so that others feel better about his decisions.

Thesis:

While racism is a prevalent theme in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, it is important
to know how certain portrayals of racism affect the direction of the novel.
