4. 4. What time period does To Kill A MockingBird take place in?
Answer: The story takes place in the 1930’s
5. 5. Was racism a big thing at that time and what was it during that time period?
Answer: The 1930’s were a difficult time for African-Americans in America; racism was as strong as ever, especially in the Southern states. Slavery had been illegal for quite some time, yet African-Americans were still mistreated. African- Americans rights were often snatched because of their race.
6. 6. Do you think that during that time period and it being the united states that Calpurnia would have been a cook in a white persons house?
Answer: I don’t think so because there was so much racism going on and during that time period black people were completely sepereated from the white people. They had different schools, different water fountains, different everything. They were basically told to use different facilities from the white people.
7. 7. How do you think people would react to a situation where someone is being judged or criticized a certain way because of their race, colour, religion in today’s society?
Answer: I don’t think that anyone would tolerate that and would probably remind them that it’s not okay to say that and that you cannot judge a book by it’s cover. And that just because you’re a different race or colour it doesn’t change who you are and that we are all human beings and that everyone should be treated equally.
8. 8. Do you think that because Harper Lee wrote this book it made a difference to society and if it did how?
Answer: I think that Ms. Lee did make a difference to society because people saw both sides of the story the injustice done to the black people because of there race and the overruling of the white people because of there race. I mean she also got an award and she really showed people that you should never judge a book by it’s cover.
