Character+Connection+(2)

I chose to talk about book to news ( text to world) connection in my essay. I will compare Tom Robinson's trial to Omar Raddad's trial. Omar Raddad is a Moroccan gardener who worked for this rich lady in France. One day his boss was found dead and he was charged for her murder. He then was convicted with no real evidence. It was all because of racial and class prejudice. The same thing happens with Tom Robinson. He was convicted because he was black. "The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place." (pg. 271, Harper Lee). There was no real evidence that showed he raped Mayella Ewell. It was simply based on racial prejudice.
