Similarities Between Emmett Till And To Kill A Mockingbird
The (true) story of Emmett Till, a fourteen year old African-American boy, and Tom Robinson, a character from the fictional book, “To Kill a Mockingbird” share a few similarities that are interesting to point out.
The first similarity you can see is that they are both African-Americans during a time of constant prejudice and hate towards colored people. Tom Robinson is a African-American from the 1930s story “To Kill a Mockingbird” and during the 1930s blacks were very often persecuted and hated for their color. Segregation was very big in the 1930s and continued for a couple decades later during Emmett Till’s time of life. Emmett Till was a African-American boy who also lived during a time of segregation and hate, the 1950s.
