I think this this book relates to race and coming of age. Race is an obvious one because the south was very into segregation. Like they convicted a black man even though the evidence was right in front of them that it was bob Ewall. This shows that people in that time were very against blacks and would go against the truth and say he was guilty. White people back then had the power in anything wether it be law or day to day life.
This book to me also has a lot to do with age and how it changes people. Jem at the beginning of the book was very close to scout but as he got older they started to fight more and grow further apart. Also Atticus is old so he cant fight back at Mr. Ewall and do things with his kids that he wish he could or that would be more fun.

I think that was good but you could have put in that in the coming of age part Jem realized how racist the South was when he didn't realize it when he was younger.
