In the Heat of the Night

Plot
==Virgil Tibbs is an experienced Pasadena homicide investigator passing through Wells, a small town in South Carolina. When local police officer Sam Wood chances upon him waiting for a connecting train, he swiftly takes him into custody where Tibbs is questioned about a murder because he is black. This, in the first two chapters of the novel, sets the mood for the story: about the struggle and the prejudice that even the educated Tibbs experiences in the South. Despite these obstacles, Tibbs reluctantly agrees to help the local police force, commanded by Chief Bill Gillespie, in their murder investigation. Tibbs constantly shoots down any murder accusations brought forth by Gillespie and is eventually accepted by Wood and Gillespie as he solves the murder case.==

I learned that being racist is very rude, and can hurt other people around you. I do think this is an important book for students to read, because it can show them that everyone is equal and that racist is not good for them or even not good for anyone. Yes! It shoudl make a change in society everyone in the world shoud read it, because there are different behaviours in this book, and it could make a difference in some people, and STOP racism.======
