Blog personal single story.
In the past I have made single stories about a person based on their socioeconomic status or by how they look or what they wear. I made this single story about someone I didn't even know, and after I made this single story I felt terrible because I then figured out that they were going through some really tough things .

 I feel like the single stories that we see in TKAM are still seen today just not at such a high frequency of these single stories. These stereotypes of racism are still very much alive but I feel like the gap in gender and socioeconomic status has closed a little bit.  At the end of chapter 9 on page 110, " If uncle Atticus lets you run around with stray dogs, thats his own business... I guess it aint your fault if Uncle Atticus is a Nigger-Lover besides, but im here to tell you it certainly does mortify the rest of the family-" Then in my oratory article "The protesters said a JSS 1 students of Kadara Junior Grammar School, Ebute Meta, Aisha Alabi was subjected to inhuman treatment by the Principal, Mrs E.C. Ukpaka for using hijab in school."Today people are discriminated against just like in the 1930's. These are both examples of terrible treatment to people of different races or religions. In the TKAM quote you see the actual use of the word "Nigger" used in a discriminatory way and the symbolism of calling African-Americans "stray dogs" is incredibly racist. In the article the girl was mistreated because of her middle-Eastern ethnicity and her Muslim religion. #stopsingle stories.

I believe that Harper Lee is trying to convey or show that at this time that African-Americans are viewed down upon and that racism is not a problem, which in the time this book was written everyone had grown up being taught that blacks were not equal to Caucasian people. They mention that Calpurnia says, "that's nigger talk" and considering that she is black and she is a motherly figure to these children  and  when she says things like "nigger" it teaches the children that they can say it because they think oh we'll she is black and she says it so it must not be that offensive, so I think the author is trying to show that racism at this time was not seen as a big. Problem because they even purposely exposed children to it.
