__**To Kill A Mockingbird Tells Us About Our Past, Present, And Our Future**__
This novel tells us so much about our past. It tell us that there was a time when a great amount of people were poor. The Great Depression affected all Americans. It took away their houses, money, food, and even peace of mind. Another thing that this story has to tell us about our past is that almost everybody was racist. That is almost the saddest thing about that time period. Most people relied really only on the Bible because they thought that if they didn't then they were doing the work of the Devil.

To Kill A Mockingbird can also tell us about our present as well as the past. One thing that it does tell us obviously about our present is that it has gotten to be so much better than it was in the past. There isn't as much racism going on today, but there still is. It's out there. People have overcome the Great Depression and more people have jobs and a place to live and also enough money to put food on the table for their kids. I guess most people in the world today would rather have more people without jobs and be homeless than have a second Great Depression all over again. Of course! Because then, we would all be poor, homeless, and jobless.

This book can also tell us not only about our past, and present, but our future as well. Everybody wants to know the future. When is your next birthday present, job promotion, or even when you'll meet the next love of your life. It's out there and you know you want it! Well, To Kill A Mockingbird tells us about our future, but not as much as the past, or the present. The story may tell us that racism may come back or dissappear. Lets hope it goes away. Racism is like the end of the world. Nobody wants it or likes it. But the choice is up to us if we want to try hard enough to stop it.

Poverty. How does that make you feel? Poor? No Way!?! Poverty was something that was part of almost everybody's life in Maycomb. Almost the same thing here. The amount of people in the U.S. that are homeless or unemployed is high and rising, FAST! In Maycomb, people were so poor, they had to pay others in the crop they grew or anything of value to the reciever of the gift.

In conclusion, the book can tell us many things based on it's facts. In this entry, we learned that the book tells us about our past in racism and the Great Depression.
