A Time to Kill, by John Grisham

I think the author of , A Time to Kill, by John Grisham wrote the book to entertain, but  also show information about the judicial system and society. John Grisham explains the process of law throughout the story, and how it relates to the crime. John Grisham also explains how society views and judges certain people. One of the protagonist in the story is African American, and he is treated unfairly because of his color. It is a well written book, with great detail and diction. John Grisham is a good author at keeping the reader engaged and alert.

A real life issue in, A Time to Kill, by John Grisham is the topic of racism. One of the protagonist, Carl Lee Hailey, is African American, and he is treated unfairly because of his color. He committed a crime in Mississippi, a very diverse state. The people of Mississippi have very strong feelings against African Americans. Carl Lee Hailey was being judged and unfairly treated, because of his skin color. Racism is still a very big problem today, and it's sad it still exists and tales place today.
