The author makes use of the setting because she uses the setting of the sleepy town of Maycomb, a town aroused to activity due to racial tensions, to develop a image of the setting. Scout presents this town by saying” There was no hurry, for there was no where to go, nothing to buy, and no money to buy it with.” She was saying that there was nothing in this town and is boring in the town. The boring town creates a image of the place being ugly and no fun activities. Harper Lee draws a great image in the readers mind by telling the reader how the people feel about the town.
One conflict in the book is Man vs Man by racism. Although there are many ways of racism in the book, the one that was more look at was Tom Robinson’s trail. He is accused of raping a white woman. Atticus was his lawyer and proves that both the victim and her father are the only witnesses to the crime. The jury convicted Tom and is apparent that at least one member of the jury thought Tom was innocent. One white man stood-up for Tom, a balck man, and tried to get justice for him. Atticus points this out to the children so they can see that change has began. Change starts one man at a time.
