4. Discuss race issues in part 1 of the book.

5. From your reading of part 1, What does To Kill a Mockingbird teach us about how people cope with issues of race and class? Do you classify people in your world as different "folks?" Do you see those sort of distinctions today? 

6. Who is your favorite character from part 1 and why? 

1. To show how the innocence of the point of view of a child to an adult world.

2. As they began to be more mature, they start looking at him more as a person than a ghost.

3. He did well, as he teaches his sons to be good people and teach them to be critical.

4. Mostly, the problem here was discrimination. Cecil Jacobs and Mrs Dubose are the ones incharged of showing this racist part to the book.

5. The discrimination today is nothing compared to those days. Personally I think all the different skin colors are the same, in fact, my New Zealand trip made me understand this. I have like 4 black friends in facebook now, and is not weird or something for me.

6. Scout, as she is smart and begans to understand the world slowly, being really curious. Scout is also like a "time machine", as she brings all the good things of this time to the time of the novel.
