Question3 Task TKaM

In the book, Atticus tells Scout and Jem, "Don't fool yourselves - it's all adding up and one of these days we're going to pay the bill for it. I hope it's not in your children's time." 

The bill that he refers to stands for the consequence white people will have to deal with, given that they discriminated coloured people at the time. 

One of the consequences is that a completely equal society is no longer possible. the reason being that the discrimination created hate in between both races. And as the biggest coloured people representant once said: "Hate begets hate." This means that if we keep hating each other it will mean that we'll be stuck in an endless loop of hate. People will keep going against each other because of the hate that remains. The trust between races is a hard bond to recover.

These conflicts drove us apart from each other, to a point where the older generation has no chance to recover their bond. However, our new generation is more open-minded and thinks in a different way. Nowadays teenagers share with each other independently of their races.

In conclusion, the troubles we had in the past, even though it makes it harder for us to be reunited as one , made us visualise how the worst case scenario would be like and also in a way made our bond even stronger between races.
