CHAPTER 28/29/30/31
These last few chapters have been very eventful, a lot of important things have happened. In the middle of the book Atticus was talking to Scout about it being a sin to kill mocking birds.His reason for that was because mockingbirds never do any harm to anyone or anything, their main purpose of life is to sing beautiful songs, they are only a joy to have on earth. Boo Radley could be labelled as a mockingbird because through the book not one person actually had proof that he was a bad person, all the things people said about him were rumours. People get suspicious about things and make up theories about whats really going on and they start telling people that and from there the rumours just get bigger. Boo Radely did no harm to no one, not even once. Other characters in the book like Miss. Maudie and Atticus could also be labelled as mockingbirds, they never hurt no one, everything they did was for good and not evil.

CHAPTER 26/27
CHAPTER 26/27
Even weeks after the trial, Jem is still feeling it in the air; he whole family is. Jem still doesn't understand the outcome of the case but he is starting to understand why his father kept that case and why he didn't just drop it. With Bob Ewell running around threatening his family, it was hard for anyone to let it go. Jem continues to think about the trial, it really seems to frusterate him. Atticus didn't show any sadness due to him loosing, and jem didn't understand why that was, because he sure was. After the trial the Finch's had friends and enemies. The Ewells were mostly the haters, they were mad because Atticus showed Maycomb who they really were because Atticus spoke truth about them and they were angery that he almost had a chance of winning. All the Negro families were very thank-ful of Atticus, he did all he did to help that boy. All that happened with this case made Jem and Scout realise the kind of people they didn't want to be when they grew up and it was most of the Maycomb County.

Throught the book Jem and Scout go through a lot. Their father, Atticus is a single parent and he teaches them many importants lessons about life. Everything Atticus taught them made them the people they became. He made them understand rhat you have to be comfertable in your own skin to know who you are and you can't do that with having people constantly telling you who to be and how to live your life. He taught them to go with what they believe in and never back down unless someone was going to get hurt. He showed them not to listen to what other people tell them, and that their descision should be what they think is best not what someone else thinks. He taught them to not panic when things were falling apart, he taught them to be strong. All his lesson were very vaulable to them in many ways and every lesson he taught them they will never forget. On their own they taught them selves to except certain things and understand what was right. Atticus and Aunt Alexandria have very different persectives on the children, Atticus believes the children should choose who they want to be and Alexandria thinks she should be able to control them, she always wants it her way.

CHAPTER 20/22
There are somethings in this world that are completely wrong and unfair, a lot of' people out thiere know its wrong but have a hard time trying to fix it. Jem felt that way exactly, during the trtal Jem was very certain that his father was winning the battle. The early 1900's was a very racist time, people would take a white mans word over a blacks, no matter what. This situation was eating at Jem, he didn't understand why his father lost, to him it wasn't fair. Tom was obviously innocent but just because he was black he was guilty. Jem was slowing starting to see the falts of the human race. He didn't understand why people thought of negros that why, to him they were just as equal as any of us. Mr. Raymond feels very much the same as Jem, he treats Negros like people, not like slaves to be used. He knew what the turnout of the trial before it even ended. Never in their world would a Negro win over a white man. Mr. Raymond hates how the people of Maycomb are so against Negros that they will let an innocent person die.

CHAPTER 18/19
During the trial, Mr. Link Deas stands up for Tom and get kicked out of the court house. I find it ironic because the only reason the judge did that was because a white man was sticking up for a black. I guess he believed it was going to upset the courtroom. it's funny how back then people would be in awe to hear a white man taking the side of a negro over a whites, yet they wouldn't be in awe if an innocent man was at trial for something he didn't do. It's doesn't matter the color of your skin, justice is justice and what was happening in that court room was not justice. Back then people thought of Negros as if they were a different species not to be associated with otherwise you would have a one way ticket to hell. But the thing is "they" are humans just the same as anyone else. it's ridiculous how someone can be labelled as bad or wrong within the snap of a finger, when no one even knows who they are. As the trial proceeded Dill started getting upset and was crying. When Scout took him out to talk to him about it, he said he was upset at the way Mr. Gilmer was treating Tom with such hate and cruelty. He didn't see why anyone should have to be treated that way. To Dill, Tom was just a man, he wasn't a negro he was a living being and no living being should be treated that way.
