The word 'ignored' has been used extensively in literature, particularly in the context of social issues, where characters are often portrayed as being ignored by society or by those in power. For example, in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, Scout observes that 'most people go through life dulled, bored, apathetic. They go through college dorms hating their neighbors, and in their old age they go on hating their neighbors. It's just that when they reach eighty or so they've used up all their anger and the world looks harmless, and they'd rather not trouble themselves to get angry again. And that's the way it will always be, so long as there are crotchy, old men and crotchy, old women around. As you and I grow older, my dear, we'll become just like them. Won't we, Boo? Don't we already sort of resemble them?'
