To Kill A Mockingbird. By: Harper Lee.

Have you ever wanted to be in the crowd, or stand out? I'd stand out, but would you go to lengths of doing the right thing even though society thinks the opposite? In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, one man amplified standing out in a crowd. Helping an innocent black man convicted of rape battling in trial against a drunk who commited the crime himself. The commuinity knew that he was innocent, but during the depression racism was a big key. Everyone wanted to do what was right, but couldn't because of society's thoughts, because no one wants to have a bad repuation. To the society, being white during the great depression meant you had more authority and power over blacks. So the man was scared for his life thinking that he would be sentenced and that they would hang him. So the man ran off and the sheriff wanted to stop him from running so he tried to shoot him in the leg, but when the sheriff accidentally shot him in the back and killed him, that innocent man was dead. So would you go to the lengths off killing an innocent man to be in the crowd, or do what you know is right and stand out?
