While reading Mockingbird, I had another question on my mind which was, how does this text make you think about justice in the world? This book is a good reference because it's about how different Caitlin is from the other students in school because she has Asperger's syndrome and justice is moral rights.
This book makes me think about justice in the world because of how people think of Caitlin, and it makes me wonder of how people in the world view people with Asperger's syndrome. For example, Emma, a girl in Caitlin's school said that her behavior is disturbing. This means that people in the world view people with Asperger's syndrome as disturbing or wierd. Another example is that Mia, another classmate of Caitlin's wanted Caitlin to leave her alone because she was different. This means that normal people don't want to hang around with kids that have Asperger's syndrome.
Another reason how Mockingbird made me think about justice is that ordinary people don't like people who appear to be different or odd. For example, when Caitlin was trying to make friends her own age, they tried to get away because of her disturbing behavior. Caitlin is a symbol of all the people who have Asperger's syndrome or are appear odd to some people, and that means that common people don't want to get involved with them or have anything to do woth those people and that's not fair, because they care what's on the outside, not the inside.
In conclusion, this book makes me think about justice in the world because Caitlin symbolizes people who appear odd, and nobody except for a few hangs out with them, and that's not fair because they care about thier weaknesses and not their skills.
