Alex: What This Book Reminds Me Of

To Kill A Mockingbird reminds me very much of different things such as songs and movies. One song that fits this description very well is Black or White by Michael Jackson. The lyrics in the song can be easily linked to the book. The lyrics ”They print my message in the Saturday sun, I had to tell them I ain't second to none, and I told about equality, an it's true either you're wrong or you're right", should be in my opinion, the moral of the book. Tom Robinson, a black man, was found guilty for raping a white woman when it was clearly the woman's father who beat her. So he was innocent. He died trying to escape the prison because he was going to be executed. A movie that reminds me of To Kill A Mockingbird is Freedom Writers. It is about a teacher who is shunned upon by her fellow colleagues on her teaching methods. Eventually, she loses her job because of the way she teaches, but gets it back at the end of the movie. The class that she teaches are divided by races, and often fights break out between them because of this. By the end of the movie though, the teacher is able to change them. This clearly shows the connection to the book because of the dividing of white people and black people. In conclusion, To Kill A Mockingbird has so many messages that there are many things people could relate to. Being racist is a good example. And also songs such as Michael Jackson's Black or White is very easy to relate to when you read this book. In the movie, the high school students are very racist towards each other, so once again, it can remind you of the book. This is a very easy book to relate to and to remind you of.
