Tom and Kalil both have that innocent similarity.

# data[].attributes.body
Starr probably fears her life after watching her friends die.

# data[].attributes.body
I considered the mocking bird being black people but I was wrong. I feel that it was Khlalil because he accidentally made the wrong chose and suffered the consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
her dad got out of the gang because he went to prison for the gang leader someone else that has joined a gang can't get out of the gang because they usually aren't just let out, he was let out because the leader let him out because he went to prison for him - Chase Mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Khalil would be considered a mockingbird because he was innocent and the cop acted on fear and shot him

# data[].attributes.body
He was scared if Tom would come back (Anton)

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor- Heck tate was a nice man, I dont think he would've interfered with any black male.

# data[].attributes.body
Khalil was the mocking bird because he died for no reason- Demetria Kelley

# data[].attributes.body
Tom should have left the second things got suspicious (Anton)

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor-  racism will not ever end it will go down as much as possible but if we aren't hating against one another race we are hating on one race as a whole such as muslims and some what Hispanics

# data[].attributes.body
Starr could be considered the mockingbird because she has experienced very traumatic things but never has done anything bad -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it wasn't all of Bob Ewell's fault because if Tom would have not tried to run away he most likely would have gotten appealed and let out. - Chase Mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
The police could have told him to stop what he  was doing. -Demetria Kelley

# data[].attributes.body
Let The Dead Bury The Dead (Anton)

# data[].attributes.body
Tom was in no harm and Bob knew that.

# data[].attributes.body
PERIODDDD!!!!!!!! EMMMA, great question!

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like through time racist will eventually go away, but with the time being not a whole lot has changed. We have gotten better with it, but it's not completely gone. -Baley James

# data[].attributes.body
racism will most likely never end, it has been around since the world was made it hasn't stopped since. - chase mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
Some one move

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor- tkam scout had to learn how to cope with her environment dealing with a racist white people so it was hard for her to cope. In the book we are reading now black people have to learn how to cope with white people. I think the word for it was bilingual changing

# data[].attributes.body
Racism will always be there, but it will be less and less prominent as time goes on -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
they have similarities but they don't have a lot they are both young and have lots of stuff going on through their lives. - chase mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
They both have to deal with the racism in their towns, but Scout has to deal with her own kind being racist while Star on the other hand has to deal with people being racist towards her. -Baley James

# data[].attributes.body
Racism will never completely go away it will just die down at times.  -Kaylee Floyd

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor- no, the cop wouldn't have shot him at all but, he would've went through the procedure.

# data[].attributes.body
What Emma said because she might be bullied for not acting like the kids in that specific neighborhood.

# data[].attributes.body
They're both brave young girls -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
Racism can definitely occur less but it most likely will never be completely eliminated.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like if Star was in a black school and was white then the story would probably be sort of the the same - Chase Mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I think he would've still been shot because no matter the color of your skin, you shouldn't reach back in the car after they tell you not to - Landen

# data[].attributes.body
he would have patted him down once and stuff if he was white.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the cop would've acted differently if he was white and he wouldn't have had to pat him down - Chase Mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
The police officer was just being overcautious because he just heard gunshots nearby not too long before the policeman pulled him over -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
Scout and Star are both the daughters of strong male figures.

# data[].attributes.body
the cops only pulled him over bc of the tail light buy if u think about it he only pulled him over bc of him being black and a teenage boy.

# data[].attributes.body
Racism is forever gonna take place. It honestly does not matter where you are, racism will be all around you.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel you are going to try to fit in with the school.

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think the cop was thinking at the time he just saw that he was reaching in the car and he shot - Chase Mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like if Star went to a an all black school she would start acting like them to fit in so she wouldn't be bullied. If she didn't act like them it would be very hard for her. -Baley James

# data[].attributes.body
he was just checking him a lot bc of him being black.

# data[].attributes.body
at least ask or see what was going on before u shoot him a lot...

# data[].attributes.body
N O

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Khalil should've listened to the cop if he would have listened it wouldn't have cost him his life. - chase mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
Racism will [sadly] never go away because of music social media and because a lot of people just don't care (Anton)

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it was wrong for Khalil to have put his hands in his car but at the same time the white cop shouldn't have been so quick to just shoot at him. -Baley James

# data[].attributes.body
Kalil just wanted to check on Starr and the cop just over reacted.

# data[].attributes.body
khalil would be the mockingbird -chase mohundro

# data[].attributes.body
He might not have shot if even patted him down.

# data[].attributes.body
you shouldn't be scared of us really

# data[].attributes.body
She is still right m8

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know how they're different -chase mohundor

# data[].attributes.body
He could have said to freeze and checked what he was trying to grab

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor-  the cop wass so quick to shoot him because he was so intimidated by his look. e is black racism is still alive. He wasn't so smart for reaching anywhere knowing a white cop or a cop at all was in authority.

# data[].attributes.body
What I was trying to say was talking like a stereotypical black person is very offensive and by doing that you are influencing racist behavior. Case and point, Woah Vicky or Victoria Waldrip. Vicky is a white girl saying that she is black, which is fine but she starts to become this very stereotypical and racist form of a black person. She represents the race as people that are always wanting to fight and are gang members. Because of people like Vicky and how they act and as a online influencer she is setting the standard and "proving" how stereotypes are "true".

# data[].attributes.body
He wouldn't have shot him at all.

# data[].attributes.body
racism and how everyone has at least one stereotype

# data[].attributes.body
Do you need a question?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like Tom was raised to treat white people with respect. Thats probably why he helped Mayella

# data[].attributes.body
A cop would be scared no matter what when it comes to his/her life. I think the cop still would've shot if it was a white man. The cop at the time thought his life was being put in danger.  -Kaylee Floyd

# data[].attributes.body
Because he is a racist police officer -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
tell the truth about what happened

# data[].attributes.body
You should follow the officer's rules because if you don't it gives them a reason to shoot you and actually have some to blame for it. - jacora

# data[].attributes.body
In that society no much would change

# data[].attributes.body
Cops treats blacks like Americans treat Muslims. They are afraid of blacks because of their appearance.- Tierstinn

# data[].attributes.body
The characters are very similar. In each book they give their stories/experiences that continues the story

# data[].attributes.body
You should still follow the cops rules, because no matter what the cop has the right to do these actions, because Khalil was making a sudden movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Because he was black and they expected him to have a weapon on him or that he is dangerous

# data[].attributes.body
-jacora

# data[].attributes.body
in shock

# data[].attributes.body
starr is just like scout they are still being taught to do right thing. They still don't understand racism- Demetria Kelley

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, so they don't have anything that they can use against you if they shoot.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to respect the cops and stay quite and still for them. However, the cop should not have pulled the trigger as fast.

# data[].attributes.body
yes\

# data[].attributes.body
Racists ;-;

# data[].attributes.body
yes, because it is normally what is expected, and a sudden movement could cause the cop to think you are trying to do something.

# data[].attributes.body
It wouldn't change anything.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if you do all of those things, then the police won't have any reason to pat you down or shoot you -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
yes, because you dont want to disrespect high authority.-Tierstin Taylor

# data[].attributes.body
He would probably tell everyone and try to change how the people would think about the cops

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it is better to be cautious

# data[].attributes.body
I think he thought of the worst case scenario when Khalil reached in the car because of how their society was

# data[].attributes.body
He was probably scared for the black young man - Demetria

# data[].attributes.body
It might be a little bit of both

# data[].attributes.body
cop shouldn't be suspicious only bc of u being black.

# data[].attributes.body
hellloo- Demetria

# data[].attributes.body
He was probably relieved for the "threat" to be gone (Anton)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the white cop was stereotyping the black man because black men are usually stereotyped for shooting people. Not all black men have guns and shoot people. The cop just reacted to quickly.  -Kaylee Floyd

# data[].attributes.body
he probably didn't care and that he did something good. but low key probably was happy about what he did. but was confused on why starr was helping the other kid.

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin taylor the black cop was scared off the black male

# data[].attributes.body
Tierstin Taylor hello

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the more that we teach our children to not be racist eventually through time there won't be as much racism. -Baley James

# data[].attributes.body
The cop was most likely being over protective. He seemed to panic, which is understandable to do if someone reaches in their car, but he acted too soon.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was racist but at the same time, he seemed like Khalil was going to get a gun but he shot him before knowing what he was doing or getting - jacora

# data[].attributes.body
*RAWR* XD

# data[].attributes.body
Hello -Katie D

# data[].attributes.body
hola XD

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he wasn't worried about shooting him, he was just scared for his own life -Landen

# data[].attributes.body
veggies and sadness

# data[].attributes.body
Chase Mohundro hello

# data[].attributes.body
yut (dis is Anton XD)
