Session 2 - Investigator

Harper Lee is a famous American writer. Harper Lee wrote the novel that we are studying, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The book became an international bestseller and was adapted into screen in 1962. Lee was 34 when the work was published, and it has remained her only novel.

I have researched the topic of To Kill a Mockingbird and the connections to her life and here are some examples. Follow the Link!

Jim Crow Laws

At the time of To Kill a Mockingbird there were harsh laws that affected African Americans only. These laws did not affect white people as they were made for African Americans.

Whites oppressed
Blacks were oppressed
Whites were superior

Whites offended
Blacks were offended
Whites were superior

Whites disrespected
Blacks were disrespected
Whites were superior

Whites spoke
Blacks were spoken to
Whites were superior

Whites excluded
Blacks were excluded
Whites were superior

Whites were superior
Blacks were inferior
It was the way of life
