Topics of TKAM:
Social Inequality, Racism, Prejudice, Community, Human Dignity, Moral Education, and Justice
(Use these themes as a starting point for your theme.  Your theme is what you think about this topic after having read the novel.)

Themes of TKAM:
Prejudice is a disease with deep and far-reaching roots.
Before you can judge someone, you must walk a mile in his shoes.
Racism is kept alive through fear and ignorance.
True courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to proceed in spite of it.
What you see is not always the truth.
