"To Kill A Mockingbird"
|
|
|
|
A trial is the examination before a court of the facts or laws in a
|
|
case in order to determine that case. It is the act of testing or proving
|
|
by experience or use. In the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" a black man,
|
|
Tom Robinson, was accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell, and was
|
|
brought to trial. There was three distinct views on Tom Robinson's trial.
|
|
In the novel, the townspeople of Maycomb believe in Tom's guilt while
|
|
Atticus and the children believe in Tom's innocence.
|
|
|
|
Atticus couldn't support the verdict because he was in a very
|
|
prejudice court and no matter what the proof was, the outcome would be
|
|
still be the same. Atticus knew that Tom Robinson would be found guilty.
|
|
The victim, Mayella, had been beaten, but not by Tom according to the
|
|
evidence "He blacked your left eye with his right fist?". Tom Robinson
|
|
would still get convicted because it was an all white jury. Tom didn't
|
|
help by saying "Yes suh. I felt sorry for her, she seemed to try more'n the
|
|
rest of 'em--", because black people wern't supposed to care about white
|
|
people. It would have been impossible to do to her what she said Tom did
|
|
"Tom Robinson's powerful shoulders rippled with his right hand on the back
|
|
of his chair. He looked oddly off balance, but it was not from the way he
|
|
was standing. His left arm was fully twelve inches shorter than his right,
|
|
and hung dead at his side. It ended in a small shrivelled hand, and from
|
|
as far away as the balcony I could see that is was no use to him." Tom
|
|
Robinson couldn't have done the crime with the evidence provided, but still
|
|
racism decided the verdict.
|
|
|
|
The children just as much as Atticus believed in Tom's innocence.
|
|
Just by looking at Tom, they knew he couldn't have done it ""Scout,"
|
|
breathed Jem. "Scout, look! Reverend, he's crippled!". Jem and Scout had
|
|
been brought up by Atticus to believe in fairness to people, regardless of
|
|
their race or colour
|
|
|
|
"Do you defend niggers, Atticus?" "Of course I do. don't say nigger,
|
|
Scout. That's common." "'s what everybody at school says." "From now
|
|
on it'll be everybody less one--"
|
|
|
|
Scout and Jem were not prejudice, they were the only white people
|
|
except for Dill to sit in the balcony with the black people. Jem and Scout
|
|
can't believe the injustice in the courtroom, just because a man is black
|
|
he will get the bad side of everything.
|
|
|
|
The townspeople from day one knew what the verdict was going to be
|
|
even though some of them knew deep down that Tom didn't do it "The older
|
|
citizens, the present generation of people who had lived side by side for
|
|
years and years, were utterly predictable to one another: they took for
|
|
granted attitudes, character shadings, even gestures, as having been
|
|
repeated in each generation and refined by time." The townspeople didn't
|
|
like black people at all. They were two different people according to
|
|
them, and the fact a white man would stand up for a black man in that town
|
|
got them very upset "Yeah, but Atticus aims to defend him. That's what I
|
|
don't like about it." The townspeople viewed this case as a circus "It was
|
|
a gala occasion. There was no room at the public hitching trail for
|
|
another animal, mules and wagons were parked under every available tree.
|
|
The courthouse square was covered with picnic parties sitting on
|
|
newspapers, washing down biscuit and syrup with warm milk from fruit jars."
|
|
This was more like entertainment for the townspeople. This was fun for
|
|
them, talking with friends, having lunch, and joking. It was really sad the
|
|
prejudice they had against blacks.
|
|
|
|
If you look in every paragraph one word pop's up more than any other
|
|
and that word is prejudice. Tom Robinson is a black man who was found
|
|
guilty of rape he didn't commit. Atticus did all he could to defend Tom,
|
|
even with the town on his case and the threats he received. The children
|
|
see injustice and are sad with the fact the humans will do that to other
|
|
humans. The townspeople don't really care about Tom because of his colour
|
|
and don't even give him a chance because he is black. Prejudice is a
|
|
strong word; some people in this novel are prejudice without reason. They
|
|
just think because he is black that he is the lower part of society and
|
|
that is what they grew up with. Everyone in the book had some form of
|
|
injustice; just that Tom Robinson was the one in the end that paid for the
|
|
mistakes and lies of others.
