Question

What is the main reason Reverend Thomas Lane Butts finds comfort i To Kill A Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Reverend Thomas Lane Butts found great comfort in To Kill a Mockingbird because he had taken a stand by signing a petition to integrate buses, leading to an encounter with Ku Klux Klan. This book was written in such a way that it opposed those who did not support civil rights. Reverend Thomas grew up in a context similar to which the book was written. He grew up in a poverty-stricken situation in a rural area whereby most people were unable to make a living. Racism was dominant and black people were treated terribly.
