What a shame, Tom shouldn't have been guilty. With all the evidence that makes perfect sense he was still was out of luck . Bob and Mayella's stories were even different making no sense and this is still what happened. I wasn't surprised at all though.  That time period was just so messed up, there was absolutely no way. I found it really cute that Dill was upset by the way. I wish more people could've felt like him but they were so harsh, having no reason but the color of Tom's skin to throw him I jail.

Well I can't believe the jury voted Tom guilty. Even Jem a boy saw that the evidence proved his innocence. But at the same time it doesn't shock me because of the racism in the history of the south. I also feel bad for Atticus because of how close he was to winning. Hopefully they will get a retrial and Tom will get real justice. Mayella and Bob's story didn't even match so how could anyone trust them. I hope the book has a retrial and Tom is innocent.

So we finally got to the court case…and it turned
out just like we thought it would. If this case went on today, Tom would not have
been convicted. Many people back then were just very racist, especially in the
South. I was hoping that Tom and Atticus would win because I hate Mayella. She
just really annoyed me. She kept lying and couldn’t stick to the same story.

Also, I can relate to Atticus because…storytime:

This one time in pre-K a guy spit on
my face.

The End.

So was anyone actually surprised that Tom Robinson was found guilty? Didn't think so. Based on the all white jury and the fact that everyone is racist in this time period, its clear that Tom is found in every possible way guilty, even though all evidence proves he is innocent.  You can tell that Mayella has some real daddy issues... and a lot of other issues too. So that guy with the paper sack that holds his 'booze' is pretty interesting, interesting meaning strange. I have to give it to him though, putting coke in a paper sack to make it seem as though you're drinking is pretty smart. It helps to make people uncomfortable enough in public that thy don't wish to speak to you. Its like that boring potato chip bag with the Chex-mix. People think you are one of the most boring snacker's ever and they stay away from your bland munchies.

This is a terrible court case. It reminds me of how poorly the Jameis Winston case was. That was handled very poorly and now that he stole some crab legs, it just makes it worse for him. But this isn't about Jameis, it's about Tom. Mayella and Bob Ewell are idiots. No arguing there, they're just plain dumb. There should have been no doubt Tom was innocent and shoukd be free. But that wouldn't make a good book so Tom got screwed over. I also like how the guy with the bag (forgot name, too lazy to check) was just drinking soda and not alcohol. Baited everybody.

These past few chapters have been the best so far.  During the Tom Robinson case Atticus had a so much evidence  was to prove that Tom didn't rape Mayella. Mayells right I was black and Tom can't use his left hand because of an early childhood accident. However her father can and she even said that her father isn't the best especially when he's drunk. I wasn't surprised by the outcome of the trial because back then African-Americans  weren't given an equal chance to prove themselves. I'm sure that the jury saw that Tom didn't do it, but because he was a black man being accused of raping a white woman he had no chance of being able to prove other wise. Tom as well as Atticus knew that tom would be fond guilty even though there was so much evidence in oms favor.

About the case, I believe Atticus should win. There are so many pointers that Mayella is lying about being raped. She can't even keep her story straight. Unless the jury is full of complete racists, it would make no sense for Atticus to lose. It is unethical for them to charge Tom with raping the girl, when his good hand couldn't have been on the side that Mayella's black eye was on. It was obviously her dad who hit her and abused her. Like, Tom only has one good arm! What harm can he do? Free the homie Tom man.

While reading these chapters I was not surprised by the verdict of the judge. The time period that this story is set in explains it all. During the 1930s in Alabama I'm sure there were many cases that were very comparable to Tom's case. While the trial was being held I thought when Dill got upset was pretty funny. I can understand though because children around that age can easily become upset. Then while they were outside the man that is "drunk " all the time reveals that his drunken state is just a hoax. I'm still wondering how Boo Radley is supposed to tie into all of this because the whole first half of the book was mainly devoted to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I just want to talk about the case, it seemed as though Atticus had won. But due to the setting, the time period, and the predicament that had occurred the final verdict didn't really come as a shock to me. Atticus had showed solid evidence and made very valid points in his case if it were possible to have the whole case in this day and age the verdict would be a lot different. After the court trail I think Atticus deserved to be left alone . The way the town folk treated him afterwards was really nice and a great way to show appreciation. Atticus is the true definition of courage to bad Jem couldn't understand it yet but he has an awesome father. I hope this ewells get what's coming to them ; I'm so ready to see boo radley come back into play in the story

I find it frustrating how ignorant the jurors are in this case. They made up their minds before the trial even took place! Tom was doomed from the start. The evidence was so clear! With a lawyer such as Atticus, one would think the case to be already won. It is not fair how they biasly judged Tom Robinson. Hopefully, Atticus will get that appeal he was asking for. I am surprised that Atticus could retain his composition after all of the things that he was put through.

The Trial Of ThE Book Was Something That I Had Already Expected. I Think Atticus Did A Wonderful Job When He Was Arguing For Tom. I Thought It Was Fun Doing the trial in class, although Mrs. Harris chose me to read and I can't read out loud very well. I do think that Tom should have been let off, and that the judging was very poor based off the evidence. I can't wait to read the last few chapters and see if the judge allows Atticus to appeal the verdict. I do hope Tom gets a fair and speedy trial as stated in our Bill of Rights.

# data[].attributes.body
The chapters we have been reading for the past couple of days has been good. Atticus is showing how much character he has. I'm thinking about giving my son's middle name Atticus. Bob Ewell is probably the most hated man in literature. Mayella is probably the most hated woman in literature. Atticus probably gave the closing statement of all time and he's not even a real person. You should know I have a clip.

Martin explains he shouldn't be guilty because he is insane!

The verdict was not very surprising. It's southern Alabamma people they are racist, there was no way that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, a mob might try to lynch him, maybe. No promises, but it may or may not be successful. Also, he will not be officially executed by an electric chair. I spoiled it oops but the book will get more interesting in the next few chapters. Bob Ewell will play a major part. Maybe Boo will come back to. Its definently a possibility. We argue about the book in class with Ms. Harris air English words and the laggy packet page. I just hope that the movie will be as good as the last part of the book. This book is beyond my expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
These chapters were really good. I was glad that we finally got to the trial. Attics presented his evidence really well. In the movie it was really funny to watch Mayella get aggregated. Attics clearly showed that the Ewell's are liars. I do not believe that Tom raped Mayella. If the time period was different he might have have been convicted.

I already had a feeling that Tom wouldn't get off the trial innocent. Had I not seen the Scottsboro trial maybe my thoughts on it would have been different. I do like the fact that tho book shows that though. I like how even in a book, they make it seem real. However, I hate the fact that the children saw that he . I know it was common to see discrimination even in the courtroom, but when Atticus said that "everyone was equal in the courtroom" he was very wrong. I feel like not everyone is equal, the only time people are equal is when they die because our graves are the same size.

# data[].attributes.body
First, the trial, I am not surprised at all of the outcome . I knew it was coming because of the time period and where it was located. Chapter 21, being the Climax, is my favorite chapter because it really was the peak of and because it was the trial which is the improtant factor in this book. I liked how Aunt Alexandria was all brotherly and concerned about Atticus. First time I actually like Aunt Alexandria's character even though I act as her. I'm ready for the rest of the book and to see how it comes to an end. And hey where is BOO??

# data[].attributes.body
it wasn't surprising that Tom Robinson was convicted guilty! Atticus tried his best to try to defend him, but I feel bad that he lost:(. other than that I enjoyed the chapter very well! at the end of chapter 22 I wasn't really surprised that Bob Ewell spits in Atticus's face, if that were me I would have slapped him in the face and taken him to court just for that! it was funny how Calpurnia came rushing in the courtroom saying that the kids were missing, but all along we knew that they were in the courtroom watching the trial take place :)

# data[].attributes.body
This chapter was exciting! I really enjoyed this chapter and thought that Atticus had a great defense for Tom Robinson. I'm not at all surprised that Tom ended up being found guilty but if they are to appel the case he will be fine. I do wish that there was at least just a little bit of evidence leading to Tom being guilty just to keep you thinking. This case just shows how racist the south was back in the early 1900s. My biggest complaint with this book is that the first part of the book seemed more important than the actual court case. I hope that someone is able to get revenge on Bob Ewell.

# data[].attributes.body
I really didn't like the trial part of the book. I mean you could kind of see it coming. I mean Alabama at that time period, of course they would be racist and partial. I believe Tom was not guilty but in that time the facts don't matter it's all about white people versus colored people. The trial had nothing to do with guilty it was only racism. The idea of that is stupid and wrong t least to me. It's supposed to be 'innocent until proven guilty' but it seems like everyone takes it the other way.

# data[].attributes.body
It wasn't surprising to me that Tom Robinson was convicted guilty, I kind of knew it was going to happen. It still isn't right and I still feel bad for Tom and Atticus, but in this time period, it wasn't surprising that they have completely biased opinions about Tom and essentially black people everywhere. I wish things would've turned out differently just primarily for Toms family and Atticus' satisfaction. When Dill cried during the session I was kind of confused, because if it was me I would probably be pretty interested and angry in why they treated Tom they way they did when he was on the witness stand and I'd probably wouldn't understand what was going on. Overall this chapter leaves me in a bad mood and I'm not happy for math next period :(.

P.s. I shi p Sill :)\

yayy for awkward bold/italics

I wasn't surprised by the conviction of Tom Robinson. It's sad to see that he got convicted guilty even though its expected because of the time period and all. I actually enjoyed reading the trial part of the book and that it reached the main plot. I still don't get why Aunt Alexandra is there she hasn't really done anything :/. I still really hate how most of the book is not in the movie. Im excited to see what happens in the rest of the book and see if they get an appeal. I don't get why Dill just broke out randomly crying but i guess it was funny.

# data[].attributes.body
The most climatic part of the story was the most anti-climatic. It wasn't that surprising that Tom Robinson was found guilty for allegedly raping Mayella Ewell. The evidence that Atticus provided was crucial enough to charged any man whether he was black or white. Tom Robinson left arm was crippled from getting it suck in a cotton gin. Therefore he couldn't have beat or raped Mayella. On another note Dill was so funny when he said he wanted to be a clown!

# data[].attributes.body
The last chapter of this section is absolutely heart-wrenching. I reread this book over Spring Break to prepare for our unit, and I was actually surprised when the verdict was guilty. The evidence so flippin' obvious pointed to the real truth, and yet the jury is too blinded by their racism to let Tom Robinson go. Quite frustrating.

You can tell Atticus tries to make a last ditch effort in his closing argument, and it makes you feel bad for the guy. He knew at the beginning what slim chances he has, but it seems as if he has a small glimmer of hope when he makes his speech. By the way, I thought the students who played Atticus in class did really well. Good job, guys!
