To Kill A Mockingbird - Part One Essay

We spent a whole week writing a formal essay about part one of To Kill a Mockingbird. I chose topic 2: What impact does setting have on your understanding of the central ideas or themes presented in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. 

My thesis was that of course, "the setting of the story helps the reader to understand the book in a better way.  We have the Walter Cunninghams issue, racial segregation and the Tom Robinson's case which can be understood in a better way if you know the context and setting.

All these aspects help the reader and that's what my essay is about.
