How does miss maudie define progress in overcoming segregation and
discrimination in maycomb"

Tom Robinson, although obviously innocent, has been found guilty of raping Mayella Ewell. It is clear that Tom has been discriminated against on racial grounds, and is, therefore, convicted.

Miss Maudie discusses this situation, and points out that ''Atticus Finch won’t win, he can’t win, but he’s the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that. And I thought to myself, well, we’re making a step—it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step.''

Although an innocent man has been convicted, at least the case lasted for a longer period of time than usually - there was some resistance. The prejudices against black people will not be eliminated over night, but this is a slight indicator that people are gradually changing their attitude.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
