Messages From Single Stories

I believe that in To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee is trying to expose the dangers and results of having single stories of race, gender, and socioeconomic status. She shows the effects of race single stories through Tom Robinson, who loses a court battle which  he had all the proof in the world to win but still lost, just because of his race. These single stories cause himself to lose hope in himself and make him think he's no good, so he tries to run away which gets him killed. Lee shows gender single stories through Scout, were she is told by Jem that she can't do things she wants to be as a girl, or she can't be herself. Single stories about socioeconomic status were shown when Scout would say that certain kids like Walter couldn't do certain things because of what their parents or family were known for doing this. This, like the other two single stories, doesn't allow them to be themselves. Walter might be like his dad and not take what he can't take back, but he might not. Single stories might be true about a person or group, but you can't assume that it is because everyone's different.
