Okay, I just looked through one of my old essays that I wrote for the novel, and in it, I listed every issue addressed in the book.
Racism and discrimination is addressed in the book. An example of it is when Tom Robinson went to trial because he was accused of raping a white woman, simply because he was black.
That means A can't be the answer.
Here's a more subtle example of racism. Three blacks had to give up their seats so some children could watch the trial.
I don't recall anything mentioning prison reform in the book, so chances if B being the correct answer is high.
Education was mentioned through out the book. Education in Maycomb was backwards and contradictory, though education was not always based in school.
That means C can't be the answer.
Poverty was a big issue, and was mentioned throughout the book. The Great Depression hit everyone in Maycomb. There were extremely poor families, such as the Ewells and Cunninghams, and other hard working poor African American families.
That means the final answer would be <span>B) Prison reform
Hope your assignment won't be too difficult for you. If you need any help, you can just ask me :) </span>
It means like don't over use it or don't under use it. Use it for when you need it and when its important rather then use it for something that doesn't matter.
