Music and Lyrics

Kanye West song Amazing relates to, To Kill A Mockingbird because at a point in the song Kanye says "It's amazing, I'm the reason Everybody fired up this evening I'm exhausted, barely breathing Holding on to what I believe in No matter what you'll never take that from me" I related this quote to Atticus. When he took on the Tom Robinson case, he was aware that there was a strong possibility that he would lose. Tom Robinson is a black man on trial for raping a white woman. As soon as people in the town of Maycomb heard that they automatically assume Tom is guilty. Atticus really wanted to help Tom. He stay with Tom to protect him from people that were after him. He presented a really excellent case, with superior evidence. He believed Tom was innocent and he did not give up hope. No one was going to convince him that Tom raped Mayella. Atticus took on a hard trial and people were really anxious to see what he would bring to the table. Unfortunately it was not enough to let justice be served.

  1. Great job with your blog Ebony! I think you made great connections in your blog, and I liked your connection song because I didn't expect a rap or hip hop song to connect with To Kill A Mockingbird.I think it was good with your connections with Tom Robinson also.

  2. I really liked your connection to atticus and this song. He is the reason why there is so much hype about the case because if he didn't defend him, then Tom Robinson wouldn't even have a chance. Very good job Ebony, your the bomb
