Question

In 125 words, give three examples of how the racial codes of the 1940s make it impossible for Tom to win the trial.

Answer 1

The story of Harper Lee depicts a story of racism. In line with this is the cultural injustices that happen in the year 1940 which relates to the story. During Tom's trial, the accusation that he had faced was assault. This case was impossible for Tom to escape this case because it involved with a higher power. In prior with the events in 1940, the African-American people have no rights in the state. They have no right to vote and form groups even in church gatherings; they also have no freedom. In conclusion, the other American people treat the African-American differently and unjustly because of the cultural difference between them. This is the reason why during that time they could not claim victory of being innocent.
