TKAM: Discuss Atticus's closing speech on equality. Is he addressing only the issues of his time, or are these issues still relevant today? Explain.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus’s closing speech in Tom Robinson’s trial suggests that equality and avoiding prejudice are indispensable to achieve justice. He believes that American courts are supposed to guarantee equal treatment for everyone, regardless of their race.  

Explanation:

Sadly, this issue is still relevant in the present, as the systematic racial biases in institutional policies and the criminal justice system are still prevalent in the United States.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
