Conclusion
Theme: Social inequality
Social statuses have been around since humans have known. It was first demeaning and disrespectful but nowadays it seems to be a part of human nature. What pleasure do we get by putting others down? Does it makes us look like the bigger person? No. The bigger person is the one with the bigger heart and is down to earth. Personally I could care less about social statuses because if theres only one tall tree and many smaller ones, I'd rather be part of the smaller trees because there are more of us and we can stick together and we will have sweeter fruit. The tall tree may think the view from up there is great but whats glory if there is no one to share it with. Also the branches are much thinner at the top of the tree.
The Finches may be higher on the social scale but they are so down to earth that they make the african-americans feel accepted. Scout and Jem dont understand why they are seperated from the so called 'minorities' but in due time they would. These divisions make up so much of the book and are reminded to us throughout the book through minor hints and it can be as small as calling someone "a cunningham" or to not allow them to attend places. The sad thing is that humans have adapted over time and this is now part of human nature.
