ch. 20

chapter 20 had some very complicated morals and philosophies. one of these was the suprise Mr. Dolphus Raymond did not drink whiskey he just drank coca-cola so people thought he was a drunken man. He explained how people wouldnt understand why he lived the way he did if he hadnt pretended to drink. After their talk they go back in the court house to hear the closing statment whic Atticus did excelently on.

ch 21

Chapter 21 is the end of Tom Robinsons trial and the climax of the trial. At first Calpunia comes in wondering where the kids are but suprisingly Atticus lets them see the rest of the trial. Jem and Scout were only met with bad news after dinner. When I read guilty i coudnt belive it this book seemed like a classic good guy bad guy story but i did not expect this to happen. Although i was constantly told by the writer that the white people would win i was really expecting tom to or at least hoping.

ch. 19

in chapter 19 it is Toms turn to be on the stand. Atticus questions him and gives the jury a discription of who Tom is and how he acts. The suprising thing that is reveald is Tom's left arm is crippled and worthless. Another suprise was when Tom testified that he and Mayella spent much time together doing various types of work. After he testifies he didnt rape her the cross examiner is very rude to him and it disturbs Dill to the point where he gets sick. This entire chapter is all about Tom Robinson and how he is a good soul.
