TKAM For the research topic I choose the KKK. The Ku Klux Klan. The reason I choose this was because the people in Maycomb only know everything inside Maycomb and they don't want anything to do with any other place except for Maycomb. They only talk to people like them that live in Maycomb.They also only talk about stuff inside Maycomb. The people in Maycomb treat others differently that are not like them. Some of them treat other people badly because they are poor. They are poor because of the crash. The Cunningham's will not take anything from anybody even if it is given or offered to them no matter how badly they need it. The reason for this is because they can't pay you back. They will only except something from you if they can pay you back. Miss. Caroline the new first grade teacher treated Scout badly just because she could read better than a first grader should and also because she can write and they are only working on printing. Miss. Caroline treated Burris Ewell badly because he is poor and because he is dirty. A bug crawled out of his hair and she freaked out. She told him to go home early from school and clean himself up, and she also recommened to him to get a type of shampoo that would get rid of his bugs in his hair. She said until he does that and gets rid of them he may not return to school because of the other kids getting them as well. Those are the reasons that I choose to compare the book, "To Kill A Mockingbird" to the research topic, "The Ku Klux Klan" also known as the KKK.
