Have a little read: ... To kill a Mocking Bird Question: 'To kill a mocking bird' is set in the mid-1930s in Maycomb, a very prejudiced and inward-looking town. Discuss the ways in which Atticus stands up as a man of reason and courage within this very traditional and backward looking environment. In the novel 'To kill a Mocking Bird' Atticus is a very respectable character. He is reputable lawyer who stands up to fight against the traditions of Maycomb County. Atticus Finch fights for what he believes is morally right. Atticus is not prejudiced over colour or wealth. He respects all people needlessly regarding their colour, wealth or stature. Atticus lives in a small town called Maycomb. Maycomb is a 'tired old town'. The citizens of Maycomb are very traditional and prejudiced people they detest any form of change. Maycomb is very narrow-minded town as most of the town folk follow traditional and prejudiced ways. The town folk

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"Once again I think that this is a good atempt, here and there, there are a number of errors e.g. the writer says 'you have to be white and rich to fit into Maycomb' this is not quite right, if you met this description then, yes, you would be in the upper echilon of Maycomb's society and if yo were poor and black you would be at the very bottom of Maycomb's society; most people however would be somewhere in between. In other words anyone could fit in somewhere."
