5.On January 30, 2006 Lee attended an award ceremony for an essay contest on the subject of “To kill a Mocking Bird”.
6.The Scottsboro trial and the trial of Tom Robinson from “To kill a mocking bird” are fairly relevant. The Scottsboro trial was a case of 9 African american boys rapping two girls in Alabama and there struggle for justice. This case is similar to the case of Tom Robinson, in the way that both are African American men who are accused of raping white females, but they are also in the same time of segregation.

11. The results of the “doll tests” show that when children in that era were given a black doll and a white girl, almost everyone including black girls preferred the white dolls.

He was a real man, and he lived just down the road from us. We used to go and get those things out of the trees. Everything she wrote about it is absolutely true. But you see, I take the same thing and transfer it into some Gothic dream, done in an entirely different way."
