Injustice

Injustice is a problem which everyone faces. Nobody likes to suffer from injustice, yet

they do it to others. In the novel, " To Kill A Mockingbird " written by Harper Lee, there

are three characters who suffer the most injustice. They are Atticus, Tom Robinson and Boo

Radley.

Atticus, a man with great wisdom, suffers from the fact that he had taken on a Negro case.

He was constantly persecuted for his decision, which made him work even harder at winning

the case. Even though his family was made fun of, he stuck with his choice and worked the

hardest he could to ignore the threats and harassment. He did very well to ignore all the

abuse and was greatly respected after the trial was over.

Another person who suffered from injustice was Tom Robinson. He was charged with a crime he

did not commit. His side of the story was not believed because he was black, which really

shows the amount of injustice during the time the novel was set in. Through the whole

trial, he did not retaliate at the white people, he did not get mad because he was

improperly accused, he just showed the level of respect which everyone deserves. He handled

the injustice with a manner reserved only for gentlemen, which is a good description of

what he really was.

The third person to suffer injustice in the novel was Boo Radley. Many accusations were

claimed about him even though they were untrue. Just because he didn't leave his house,

people began to think something was wrong. Boo was a man who was misunderstood and

shouldn't of suffered any injustice. Boo did not handle the injustice because he didn't

know about it.

In conclusion, the person who deserves the deepest sympathy is Tom Robinson. He did nothing

wrong but his crime was being nice to white people. This type of injustice is the worst

because everyone puts up with it. Therefore, Atticus, Tom Robinson and Boo Radley suffered

the most injustice in the novel.
