read the excerpt from sunil's personal narrative. when i first came to the united states from india, i was frustrated by the assumptions people made about me and my culture. people often think that because i'm from india, i am a hindu. i'm actually malayali, from kerala, and i'm muslim. and the day that a girl at school asked me if it felt weird not living in a longhouse anymore really took the cake. india is known for a lot of different architectural styles, and a longhouse isn't one of them! but the misunderstandings about who i am and where i am from are only the tip of the iceberg. as a person of color, i've been called a lot of names here by people on the street, in the grocery store, in school—practically everywhere—and their underlying message is this: you have no right to feel safe here.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
