Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer

I think this novel is more about race and class because the Negroes have their own church and when Calpurnia took Scout and Jem the Negroes were looking at them and they were talking about them also when aunt Alexandria found out she got mad because she said that they could have killed Jem and Scout. Also aunt Alexandria wanted to fire Calpurnia. It's also about class because when Tom went up to the stand he said he felt bad for the Ewell's because the Negros were higher then them. Also Aunt Alexandria thinks that Atticus shouldn't be defending Tom because he is black and she thinks that the Fiche's shouldn't be seen with someone lower.

B. Compare and contrast yourself to either Scout or Jem at their age. Compare and contrast your summer activities, friends, relationships with your dad, siblings, and adults.

I will compare myself to Scout. Somethings we have in common would be that were both girls and I have alot of guy cousins. When i was little my cousins would have me play soccer and football because i have no other chose but to hang out with them. Now since I'm older I don't really Play with them and I hang out Whit my mom. But now if i have to play soccer or football I don't mind because I know how to play. Also like scout I have a brother and we get along well but he is six years old and I'm 13 years old. Even though there is a big age difference i still try and play with him.
