Outside connection

I find that the book, "To Kill a Mockingbird", is very similar to Apartheid. I find these two topics similar because of their racial prejudice. The book has many racial comments and the whites give no respect to the blacks along with little rights. Shown on the trial, Tom Robinson was murdered because he simply felt sorry for a white woman. Apartheid is similar because the whites in Africa didn't give the blacks any rights and even though more than half the population were blacks, they had absolutely no control. In both cases, the blacks were provided with poor education and poor residential areas. In the book, the black's church is way less funded than the whites, as shown when Scout questioned about the lack of stuff Cal's church has (because she was used to her own church). An example of racism would be the isolation of the black community and white community. The fact that Mayella tells everyone that Tom Robinson raped her is just so she wouldn’t get in trouble with her father. It’s clear that the black’s were treated as trash, Mayella rather avoids trouble and gets Tom murdered. Also, Apartheid had a couple whites who did not like the idea of pushing the blacks around, but they couldn’t do anything due to the majority of the whites who did not like the blacks. This is the same in the book because Atticus supports the blacks and even has Calpurnia, who’s a black woman, live in his house to raise his kids. There will always be someone or some people who do not agree with the current situation and this occurs in both topics. Racism, isolation, no rights and unfairness all contribute to why the book, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, is closely related to Apartheid.
