In the way home Calpurnia kept saying little threats to Scout and Jem. When Calpurnia told Aunt Alexandra about where they were, it look like she was about to faint, and Scout said that she was about to faint just because Atticus let them go back to the trial just to hear the verdict, and then when they were done eating, when they went back to the trial, Reverend Sykes saved Scout and Jems seats. Scout was surprised that they have been gone for an hour and when they came back nothing change. It was getting really late and it was eight in the afternoon. Then finally the jury had reach the verdict and it was about eleven, and when the jury said if he was guilt or not, Scout shut her eyes and she heard guilty and then Atticus put paper in his briefcase, then went to the court reporter to say something, Atticus nodded to Mr. Gilmer, and then Atticus went to Tom and said something to his in a low voice and put his hand Toms shoulder and left the courtroom in a different exit and not the exit as he usually goes to, and then when he left the courtroom, the whole balcony stood up to show respect because Atticus tried really hard just like a hero even though he did not succeed.
Reflections on Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" from Blessed Trinity 8th graders.

R.I.P Tom Robinson
The first thing we read in class was when Atticus just finish his closing statements, Calpurnia told judge Taylor that if she can hand an envelope to Atticus and judge Taylor just nodded. So she gave it to Atticus and the note said that the children were missing. Then judge Taylor said that they were in the balcony. Then after Atticus told Jem to get down from there, and when they met Calpurnia in the staircase, Atticus told Jem and scout that they needed to go home and get their supper with Calpurnia and that they needed to stay home. Then Jem begged Atticus to let them stay and let them hear the verdict, and then Atticus accept it just because they heard all of it, and Calpurnia did not seem to happy about Atticus letting them come back after they ate their supper.

In my opinion I feel bad for Tom and he should of won, but no the jury had to say he's guilty just because of Maycomb's disease, but I am very happy that Atticus tried his best for Tom. I am also surprised that Atticus let Scout and Jem stay after they ate their supper because I thought they were going to get sent home because of Calpurnia and Aunt Alexandra. I am really mad at Mayella and especially Bob because both will just risk a life just to save them being embarrassed by maycomb and Bob was the one who abused Mayella. I think that Mayella was force to do this and the jury is not that smart because there was no evidence proven during the case and you could easily tell that Mayella's story, and Bobs story were false. I really hope they dont kill Tom because he is really a good pearson and he has children and a wife and they need his because he is the one who works and his wife can not get a job and take care of the children and the house, so I really hope that Tom does not die.

I also feel bad for Tom, since he is going to die because he was convicted. I feel bad that a man is going to lose his life based off of no evidence. I am also happy that Atticus tried his best, all of the colored people stood for him as he walked by. I also am mad that Bob and Mayella thought that it would be a good idea to put a man's own life for the risk of embarrassment. I think that Mayella was forced by her father also to accuse Tom of this. She probably loved him, and now she has to kill him, so she is not embarrassed. I hope they don't kill Tom, and the appeal will save Tom's life.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post, and I agree with many of your thoughts and opinions about the part in the book where the verdict is being decided. I agree with you and truly think that Atticus is a hero for trying and giving his best effort in this case even though it would be hard to do the right thing in this kind of situation, and Atticus didn't succeed too. This really shows that all heroes don't have to be successful. I also feel bad for Tom. Just imagining a father who works hard for his family and plays a big role in his family about to be put to death for something that he didn't even do is heartbreaking. I truly wish the best for Helen and the children as this is a very difficult time for them. I am also mad at Bob and Mayella right now as they both are willing to kill someone just so they can not be embarrassed in front of the whole town. Right now, we are in a tough spot to say if Tom still has a chance to live if this case were to be appealed.
ReplyDeleteGood job with your blog post you put in almost every detail of the chapter,I agree with you because I also agree with you and with Kaylee.Tom is a good man and he shouldn't been proven guilty because he has a family to take care of.When you said that you hope that Tom doesn't die,well his going to because he was proven guilty even though there was not evidence.Overall you did a good job describing everything on the chapter from when Calpurnia not been okay with the children going back to see the verdict,also im glad that Atticus tried his hardest even though he didn't win.
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading your blog post, you did a good job on the summary for the chapter and had a great opinion to back the summary up. I agree with you that the Jury only convicted Tom guilty because of Maycomb's usual disease. I also agree that Mayella and Bob lied under oath and told their story of what happened, even though both of their stories don't line up. They only did this to keep themselves from embarrassment and shame because Mayella seduced Tom. In the end, I do also hope that Tom doesn't die because then his family would be heart broken and they need Tom. Overall, great job with your post.
ReplyDeleteVery good job Aldo I like it alot and I agree with you in multiple things. First that Atticus is truly a hero because he is doing the right thing even though it is hard.Also that he did give his best effort even though they lost the case because of Maycomb's usual disease. I also think that his children and his wife will have a harder life without him. Overall good job Aldo I like your opinion of this chapter. I think that Tom still has a chance and that he won't get killed,however its a very hard chace because of racism.
