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.
