One of the widely recognized controversies in American history concerns the 1930s, which hosted the Great Depression and the post-Civil War period, the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling and Jim Crow Laws and Segregation. Although textbooks detail the factual aspect of the era, there is only one other literature that can show the emotion experienced in that era. To Kill a Mockingbird is the acclaimed novel that shows the experiences of the South, through inequality and segregation, social class differences and the right to fairness. The novel's experiences are narrated through an adult scout, who appears as a young girl in the novel, offering her innocent opinions on events in Maycomb County. The most observed aspect of the novel is race and racism; since Tom Robinson's trial is the focus of the novel, the issue of race is bound to be discussed throughout the novel: race, racism, and segregation; with Tom Robinson's trial at the center of the novel, the issue of race is heavily represented throughout the novel. Given that Mockingbird is a common book among English language arts and literature classes, the topic of race is bound to emerge in a young group of twenty-first century students. With the inevitability of this discussion, the question remains of how to address the problem. conversation as an educator. As an educator, you should try to establish the context of the times, prepare students for conversation, and examine other characters and situations similarly to race. Educators also need to be introspective before examining their students' feelings, so that they are not surprised by their emotions and can also express their feelings to their students. The discussion should be aimed at one goal, that of the exam... at the center of the paper... of the platform (if the teacher feels comfortable being so open, then the student should feel equally, if not more, at ease). Furthermore, actively discussing the metaphorical mockingbird and the meaning associated with it, along with the feelings and emotions, would help students understand not only the time period, regarding innocence and undeserved condemnation, but also the reality of world they still live in today. has some prejudices.
