Musical Connection

Since “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is one of the most influential books of all time, even ranking higher than the bible, there is a vast amount of songs to connect to this book. The song “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer fits the best I think. “To Kill A Mockingbird” is based when racial tensions are at a high along with stereotypes and prejudices. In John Mayers song, he talks about how no one understands his friends and him and what they see with whats wrong in the world.
“"Me and all my friends  

We're all misunderstood  

They say we stand for nothing and

There's no way we ever could  

Now we see everything that's going

wrong  With the world and those who lead it  

We just feel like we don't have the means  

To rise above and beat it  

So we keep waiting  

Waiting on the world to change”

Throughout this whole book, Atticus has been waiting for his community to change and realize there is no need for racial segregation and discrimination. Atticus has taken opposing sides to what most of the community agrees with. He stands up and fights for what he believes in in order to teach his children good from bad and right from wrong.
