Closing Statement!!!

In the chapter that we read today. Atticus gives his closing argument which Mr. Boyle says is the most important piece of the book. Atticus says that this case should not even made it to court because no rule has been broken. The only thing that has been broken is a socialist rule. That no white women should feel felling for a black men. They also did not show any evidence and they only had two witnesses. So they have not meet the burden of proof. Atticus was talking to everybody in the court room especially the jurors. Mayella and Bob were trying to win by emotion but that should never work in court because of the lack of evidence.They want Tom dead because the embarrassment would go away and Tom always went through the Ewells house and it would remind Mayella of the things she felt for him. She doesn't want this to happen again because she would get abuse again.  She is accusing an African American of something he had no power off he didn't expect Mayella to have those feelings for her. She thought by the kind actions that Tom did she thought that was love.

Something else is that Bob and Mayella did not bring any medical evidence because they were relying in the assumption that the jury would find Tom guilty because he is African American.Also because a white woman said an African American is guilty of a crime then he was automatically guilty. Atticus in his nicer words says that if you believe in this assumption then you are equally stupid and ignorant like the Ewells and states that some people are bad, but that it was true for all races. And that if they followed the Ewell they would be the same thing as them white trash. He said a very famous quote from Thomas Jefferson and he said that "All men are created equal", but this courtroom that they are in isn't fair because it isn't equal and everybody has a different social status in life. Atticus then said his final words to the jury Let God help you do your duty.
