3. We all agree that the evil of racism is the main theme of this book. How does the author convey this theme to the reader?
== A) There is alot of very shocking racist behavior towards negro people in this book. like the stereotypes- can't fight, dress poorly, not clean, not smart, can't earn or keep money, can't have good job, not educated. == == B) The author has made the non-racist characters so that you will like and relate to and has made the racist characters unattractive ) LIKE: Vigil Tibbs, Sam woods near the end of the book when he changes, mantolli, mr./Mrs Endioh, Duena Mantolli and Eric Kaufmann DISLIKE: Bill gillespie (untill the end when he changes), Oberst, Mr/ Miss Purdy, Ralph, Schubert ==
