Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog
These chapters were interesting since they involved the end of the trial.
It sucks that Tom Robinson was convicted event though all the evidence showed that he was innocent and that Mr. Robert E. Lee Ewell was the one who beat up his daughter. I hate how back then if evidence shows that a negro person is innocent, they convict him cause they think that even though his innocent he might really do it someday in the distant future. Now if a white person did it, they would let it slide. I think its plain wrong since everyone has equal rights. I dont blame Jem for crying cause it wasn’t right how they treated Tom throughout the whole trial.
I really didnt like chapter 23 cause it showed Mr. Ewell meant businessin treating people that were at the trail cause he wanted Tom sentenced to death. He threatened everyone, including Atticus sayin that he was gona get him for what he did, which I think is something that Atticus cares deeply about.
Its terrible that Tom tried to escape prison and ending up getting shot just when he was over the fence. I think Tom did that was because he couldnt stand being away from his family, but I bet that Mr. Ewell is mighty happy about it. Since he thinks Tom deserved it.
