novel is about class. I think that it is about class because if you think about it, everybody is separated. The town is split up, at the bottom are the Ewells and the negroes, next is the Cunninghams, and so on. As we recently found out, the negroes are actually above the Ewells. The Ewells are rude, dirty, and extremely poor. Usually back then, you would think that the black people would be below any one in town, but not in this case. Tom Robinson felt sorry for the Ewells. That made everyone feel different about the negroes in town. But just because they felt sorry for one of the classes, doesn't mean that there was no discrimination. If nobody was split up in this book, and there was no racism, then I think the book would be very different. Atticus and Tom Robinson may have won the court case, and there would be no rude neighbors.

Im my opinion, I think this novel is about class. I think that it is about class because if you think about it, everybody is separated. The town is split up, at the bottom are the Ewells and the negroes, next is the Cunninghams, and so on. As we recently found out, the negroes are actually above the Ewells. The Ewells are rude, dirty, and extremely poor. Usually back then, you would think that the black people would be below any one in town, but not in this case. Tom Robinson felt sorry for the Ewells. That made everyone feel different about the negroes in town. But just because they felt sorry for one of the classes, doesn't mean that there was no discrimination. If nobody was split up in this book, and there was no racism, then I think the book would be very different. Atticus and Tom Robinson may have won the court case, and there would be no rude neighbors.
