In my opinion, so far this book is about racism. This book is also about Classes. I will explain why.

I believe it's about racism because the book is constantly bringing it up. Tom Robinson, for example. As mentioned in the book, it would be shameful and a disgrace to take side of a Negroe. This has to do with racism because without knowing the person, or trying to understand them, they're judging them by the color of their skin. It made perfect sense that Tom Robinson was in reality innocent, but because he's black, they would not allow him to win the case.

This book also has to do with classes. The entire town is split on to a scale. From rich to poor. Even Jem says that there are different type of people in their town. There are the Negroes, whites, ordinary people like them, Cunninghams, and the Ewells. The Negroes are on the bottom of the scale. The reason that it has to do with classes is because each group only hangs out with eachother. The Negroes with Negroes, ordinary with ordinary, and so on.
