https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem Jem's reaction to the trial en-us 2016-11-29 14:14:31 UTC 2025-09-25 13:46:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140571792 Just who helps a hopeless man 

How can we put innocence aside, To be on the white mans side 

When death comes shall we run or Shall we stay 

When the youths eyes are stained Crimson red, with the blood of the man shot dead 

Through innocence he was fooled, But by death he was freed 

Through death we grieve and death we leave

When all the blacks are fearful

My heart is destructed
Were they ever instructed ?

How did race play a bigger role 
than the actual case

If equality was a track race
Most of Maycomb, would come in last place

I've had an earful,
therefore I'm nothing but tearful.

Streak his words of innocence into false guilt.

I spread my angry tears with the hope of happiness that jump in excitement.

Cut with guilt that wasn't his,
no matter the color of their skins. 

It aint right, it aint fair.

I muttered every stroke of emotion for the poor pure man, I am touched by this lack of guilt.

I taste my tears and bitterness, but I know this must not be true.

That the feeble man did nothing wrong.]]> 2016-11-29 16:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140572338 https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140572420 "How could they do it?"
The boy thought, mind full of bitterness and resentment.
With a storm of sadness dripping down his face
Innocent, is what Tom was, no, is.
A different pigment is all he had
That made the verdict unfair
With a crowd full of cheery faces,
"How could they do it"]]> 2016-11-29 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140572420 https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140573281 Me and my dad
we're very sad

The trial took a turn
and it made my emotions burn

the conviction was faulty
and it made me feel salty

the tears ran down
and it made me frown

You shouldn't judge someone
by their color
everyone is our brother]]> 2016-11-29 16:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140573281 https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140574391 To know that a man was wrongly
accused 

It was my turn to cry now
My face streaked with angry tears

the storm in my eyes kept me tied down
to what I knew was true

as I was flabbergasted by the horrendous verdict

we continue to try and keep our heads held high

although we knew what soon was to become of Tom Robinson

It was my turn to cry

As the tears came I felt the pain

how could this be

I feel he should be free

how can any jury convict off of what we've seen

people don't understand

why cant anyone take a stand

 because of the color of this man

no one will open their minds to see

this man is not guilty]]> 2016-11-29 17:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/godbyam/5thperiodJem/wish/140575795
