Prepared Reading Task - Keaobaka Phalane

Motivation

Justice is the thread that weaves the fabric of our society... and
sometimes the wrong people hold all the needles.

[Greeting]

‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ a novel by Harper Lee, which explores issues of


racial injustice, moral conflict, and empathy. In this inspiring narrative,
which is set during the Great Depression-era in the fictional town of
Maycomb, Alabama, we follow young Scout Finch as she grows up with
her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus Finch, a morally upright
attorney who is defending a black man named Tom Robinson who was
wrongfully accused of raping a white woman.

The passage I will be reading resonates with me because it showcases


the fight for equality and justice. It shows that, even though we aim for
equality, injustice still persists. This moment emphasises Atticus's strong
belief in the law and morals, even when faced with prejudice from
society.

Even today, these issues are still relevant, and ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’
reminds us how one person’s voice can make a difference in combating
social injustice. This passage reiterates the importance of standing up
for what is right, even if you stand alone. It gets me thinking about the
constant fight for equality and the importance of kindness in a divided
world.

One of my favorite quotes says, “The world is merciless, and it’s also
very beautiful,” and it shows the two sides of life that we also see in 'To
Kill a Mockingbird.' The novel explores the conflict of racism and moral
struggles while also highlighting the goodness in people and the bravery
it takes to do what is right. Characters like Atticus Finch represent this
goodness as they stand up against unfairness, showing us that even in a
cruel world, small acts of kindness and honesty can make a difference.
