To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee (Conclusion)

     I have found this book to be much more interesting than I expected. More than anything, this book has made me sad to realize how prejudice people can be. Even today sometimes whites are prefferred more than other cultures. What really interested me was when Atticus gave his speech at the end of the trial. He discussed how the constitution states how all men are created equal, but not really. There will always be someone more rich, powerful, etc. than you. He said that the fairest place is in the courtroom, but in this case that is not true. People still chose a verdict based on their opinions.
     What I relized was that this could still happen today. We still have juries. Say every person on the jury was prejudice about a person on trial. This will majorly affect the results of who is guilty and who is not. This happens often with celebrities. Say a celebrity wrongs a normal person. They go to court, but the jury loves that celebrity. Most likely the average person will be blamed unjustly. Even after all this time, the court is still not perfect. An intelligent person can find loop holes.
     This book has taught me how affective one's beliefs are. One small idea can affect other's opinions. Sometimes this is good, but it can also be bad. No system is perfect, but it is best to keep trying to make the law as fair as possible.
