Themes

I am going to chose racism. Racism was shown in the book many times during the trial and after the trial. One specific detail is when Mr. Gilmer was questioning Tom and calling him boy. I think people should all be treated equally.

Another detail is when some of the people use the "N" word. It's not fair to call someone a horrible name. One more specific detail is when the guards shot Tom 17 times. 1-2 shots can kill a man 17 is just cruel.
