You must have at least three reasons to support your answer. en-us 2021-11-01 16:46:43 UTC 2025-12-20 18:02:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2696.png https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859516219 I think that although it will be known that Robert Ewell beat up his daughter, Tom Robinson will go to jail for it. I think that Robert was the one who beat up Mayella because he was left handed which was proven by him writing his name on the envelope. Since Mayella's bruises were mostly on her right side, it would have been easy for him to beat he up. But even though this is true, since Tom Robinson is colored, he wont get the same support that white man would.]]> 2021-11-01 18:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859516219 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859521454 I think the outcome of the trial will still say that Tom is guilty although he is innocent and some evidence is proven against it. Robert is signed the letter with his left hand. Most of the bruises were on Mayella's right side, and Tom can't even use his right arm. So even though Tom is innocent he will go to jail.]]> 2021-11-01 18:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859521454 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859526819 I believe that despite Atticus's best efforts, he will still lose the case. Mostly due to how racist the town and presumably the jury is, especially in the 1930s. And to refute the evidence provided about the bruises and Tom Robinson's left hand they may state that he easily could have just used his other hand. As even Scout stated that as a possibility in the text. And lastly, the Finch's may get even more hate as they see Atticus really giving his all in defending an African American man.]]> 2021-11-01 18:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859526819 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859531538 The jury will find Tom Robinson guilty despite the fact that the evidence points to Bob Ewell. This is because Bob Ewell is a white man, and it is his word against Tom's, who is a black man. Additionally, during this time period in Maycomb, white people, regardless of their financial status, will always be in a greater position of power. These reasons, combined with the fact that the jury is full of white men, will lead to Tom Robinson being found guilty.]]> 2021-11-01 18:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859531538 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859532426 I think that even though it is fairly obvious that Tom Robinson is not guilty he will go to jail. This is because Tom Robinson is colored while Bob Ewell is White. (White Privilege) Mayella was beaten primarily on the right side of her body, This would imply that she was beaten by someone's left hand. Atticus makes Bob write his name and learns that he is a lefty while Tom Robinson's left arm has an injury. Despite the evidence, Tom Robinson will be declared "Guilty" solely because of the fact that he is colored. Keep in mind this does take place in the 1930s where racism was very high. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859532426 3020742 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859551921 Considering the time period where racism is prevalent, the court will rule in favor of Bob Ewell. This is primarily because it is a white man’s word against a black mans’. Despite the fact the bruises match up with Bob Ewell’s dominant hand, it can be argued that Tom used his functioning one. Plus, as Atticus is genuinely trying his hardest to defend Tom, the town will grow feelings of spite towards the Finch family for not backing up their own race.

Tom Robinson is going against a white man's word during this trial, and with heavy racism the jury is bound to believe Mr. Ewell more because he is white. Also Mayella is staying adamant that Tom is the one who raped her, so the jury will believe the victim more than Tom. During the trial the Finch's because Atticus is being serious while defending Tom.]]> 2021-11-01 18:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859563470 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859865794 I think the outcome of the trial will be that Tom Robinson will be found guilty because of prejudice. This is because he is black and during the time of the story, racism is at the peak. Another reason is that the victim claimed that Tom was the one who did this. Additionally, during this time people who were richer had more priority over the poor.]]> 2021-11-01 21:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1859865794 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1860719920 Tom Robinson will be found guilty even though Atticus is trying his best to defend Tom. This is due to the racist ideals of people in the 1930s, people would believe white people over black people. The court judges were also all white which is why it is harder for Tom to win the case. Since Bob was white, he has a higher social status than Tom which is why more people believed Bob over Tom. ]]> 2021-11-02 05:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1860719920 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862203444 I believe that although the evidence pointing to Bob Ewell can clearly show he was the one who did it, and not Tom Robinson, the jury will still rule in favor of Bob, because of the large amount of bias, prejudice, and overall targeted attitude toward black people. I would like to hope that Atticus can find a way to help Tom Robinson win, but with the overwhelming amount of racism, the fact that the victim and Bob Ewell are white, and the fully white jury, it would only result in Tom Robinson being found guilty.]]> 2021-11-02 16:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862203444 30071081 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862317675 I am very sure that Tom Robinson will be found guilty due to discrimination and prejudice. First of all, he is a black man in the south during the time period when racism was widespread. It is his word against the Ewells, and there is no doubt that the Ewells will be trusted, and the jury will rule in favor of Bob Ewell. Another reason is that the Ewells have a higher social status than Tom does, so people would believe them over Tom. Even though Atticus is trying his best to help Tom Robinson win the case, with the amount of racism and the fact that the jury is fully white, there can only be one outcome to this trial: Tom Robinson will be found guilty.]]> 2021-11-02 17:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862317675 https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862903646 In my opinion, Bob Ewell and Mayella Ewell will probably win the case just because of the way things are in maycomb. Racism didn't feel wrong, it just felt like the way things were to many of these people, but not atticus, who fought well enough that even members of the jury who would undoubtedly vote that Tom was guilty, would know what happened. Although Atticus' evidence was powerful, as a black person fighting a case against a white woman, there wasn't much of a chance. But due to the Ewell's standing in society, I feel like the people will look down on Bob even more, and their mind will be a bit more exposed to the blatant racism surrounding them. No matter the outcome of the case, Atticus will have helped open the eyes of Maycomb on an issue that prevailed during this time.]]> 2021-11-02 21:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/heather_guas/x8mwmqv8lobu479r/wish/1862903646
