Chapters 20-23


Have you imagined that the jury was going to declare Tom Robinson guilty?
What is your opinion of Atticus' reaction when Bob Ewell curses him out and spits in his face? What would you have done in Atticus' place?

I was really upset becuase of the jury´s statment. I was sure Tom was going to be declared inocent, but well, after analyzing the reasons it´s clear to me why the veredit said he was guilty.
As regards Atticus reaction, I don´t know what I would have done, but I´m geting used to Atticus good and wise manners, so it´s natural that he reacted in the way he did.

I thought Tom Robinson would be declare innocent, the jury's statement surprised me.

Regarding Atticus reaction, it's normal from him and I would have done the same. What could i do instead?

I imagine that the jury will declared tom robinson guilty, becuase the differences between black and white people were huge..

I was surprised by the reaction of Atticus. He always analized situations in life in a great way even in extreme ones.

If i were atticus i would hit ewell with cruelty..jjaja

At first i thought that Tom Robinson was going to be declared innocent, but in the other hand the differences between black and whithe played an enormeus papel in the jury's statement, so the decision is clearly.
The attitude that Atticus had, was tipical to him. He is well-educated and he usually thinks before act, so is a reasonable decision to not do anything. Probably in his situation i would have done the same or maybe say something to defend my actions.

i was really tend to think that tom was going to be declared inocent, thats why the decision oof the jury upset me.
i think atticus resisted doing sopmething to ewell because is the right thing, and besides that, ewell wanted atticus to react with anger, and atticus was not going to give him that pleasure.
i really dont know how would i react in that situation
