"...but it does require you to be sure beyond all reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant" (pg. 271). He makes sure he looks at the jury, he makes himself comfortable by unbuttoning his collar, and he looks out the window as in he is in deep thoughts. The audience can make assumptions based off of what Atticus and what the other sender. They could like what Atticus is saying or they could like what the other sender is saying. Whoever is persuading the jury better is better off in winning. ]]> 2016-11-02 13:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/134752320 mnewton5 https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/134760214 Atticus's message is that this case should have never been brought to trial because its just wrong to accuse a man, with a left hand that isn't even able to work on it's own, of raping a young woman. He is basically just saying that Tom Robinson is NOT guilty under any circumstances and whether he is convicted or proven innocent, he has done his best to convince the jury, the judge, and everybody else in the court room that he is an innocent man. He is saying that Mayella isn't telling the truth. "The defendant is not guilty, but somebody in this courtroom is" (pg 271). "...she tried to put the evidence of her offense away from her" (pg 272).]]> 2016-11-02 13:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/134760214 mnewton5 https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/134763737 When Atticus tries to get emotion from the jury, he makes a lot of eye contact with them. He asks Mayella if her beats her and she admits she does. He walks back and forth and he looks out the window and creates an emotional feeling. "Atticus was quietly building up before the jury a picture of Ewell's home life" (244)]]> 2016-11-02 13:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/134763737 mnewton5 https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/136095643 When Atticus is cross-examining Mayella, he makes connections to her father. He asks if he has ever hit her and she says no. when she says "He does tollable, 'cept when--" (pg 244) Atticus asks her "Except when?" (pg 244) because he begins making the connection that her father could be beating her which could connect to what happened and her father could have raped her. He is thunking logical and making the jury think.]]> 2016-11-08 14:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/136095643 mnewton5 https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/136097324 Throughout the cross-examination with Mayella, he often refers to her as ma'am. Mayella takes it to offense as Atticus is "making fun of" her, but i believe he is just trying to connect with her. Also, im sure nobody referes to her as ma'am so she takes offense to it. "Long's you keep makin' fun o' me." (pg 243)]]> 2016-11-08 14:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mnewton5/wwh5rp1vy6r0/wish/136097324
