we get introduced to many characters and families including the Cunninghams‚ the Ewells‚ Tom Robinson‚ and the Finches. All of these characters occupy a specific role in the social pyramid based on race‚ class‚ and other factors. For Scout‚ throughout the book‚ social class overrides racism in terms of how she judges and values other people at first‚ but ultimately a person’s essence determines their real value. The Cunninghams are looked at as very low in the social pyramid because they are of

in the fact that the Ewells lack education‚ a work ethic‚ and class while the Cunninghams are hard workers‚ and go to school whenever they can they are also a very proud family that does not accept handouts while the Ewells get by from welfare. Of course the main similarity between the Ewells and the Cunninghams is the fact that they are both part of the poorest class of Macomb. While both Bob Ewell and Walter Cunningham both seem to be unemployed Walter is poor because he is a farmer and the Great

convictions‚ and affiliated themselves with society’s "band-wagon." Yet within this oblivious hoard‚ one man had the audacity to prevent the attempted murder- Mr. Cunningham. It took a few small but significant words from Scout to convert Cunninghams’s way of thinking to a more normal fashion. "Let’s clear out" was all it took form Cunningham to remove the men‚ and go home. Similarly in the courtroom‚ another moral dilemma arose: this time within the jury.

By using countless examples like The Ewell‚ Cunningham‚ and Finch families‚ Harper Lee shows us that judging others based on class is not right. In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee portrays the Cunningham family to be of the lower class. The Cunninghams are a farmed based family with not so much money.

Because of the hatred they have for Tom‚ they attempt to kill him before he would get a chance to even step foot into court.

The Cunninghams are also known as people that don’t accept money because they can’t pay them back. When Ms. Caroline asked Walter where was

There’s no doubt that the Renaissance was one of the greatest time periods for advancements in culture and art. Cunningham made a good point when he stated that “by some stroke of good fortune‚ Florence and its surroundings produced‚ in the 15th century‚ a group of artists who revolutionized Western art” (Cunningham 364). This time period produced some of the most amazing works of art and architecture still to modern day. Construction of buildings like the Florence
