To Kill A Mocking Bird Journal #7

Choice B: Tell how the following characters respond to the jury's verdict: Jem, Aunt Alexandra, Dill, Miss Maudie, Bob Ewell.

The trial was very interesting, but it affected the views of many of the characters. One of these characters was Jem. At the beginning of the trial he seemed confident that his dad, Atticus would win. I think the time he realized it was impossible was when Mr. Gilmer was angry at Tom because Tom felt sorry for Mayella. He realized that the jury, who consisted of white men, would find Tom guilty, even if Atticus made a good argument. At the end he still thought of his father as a good lawyer, and saw that Atticus lost because the jury did not like Tom. He cried though. He was crying in anger because he said it was unfair. Aunt Alexandra felt really sorry though. She even called Atticus “brother” which neither of the kids ever heard Aunt Alexandra say.
Dill felt that the verdict was unfair. He thought it was unfair that people would judge by the color of skin. During the trial, Dill even cried because of the way Mr. Gilmer would treat Tom. Miss Maudie tried to talk to the kids and gave them cake. She talked to them that some people just have a hard job.
Bob Ewell was really mad. Despite the fact that he won the case, he lost his credibility. People knew that he beat his own daughter and that he lied and blamed a black person for it. So when he met Atticus in town he spat at his face. Unfortunately for Atticus Bob chews tobacco so the tobacco was all over Atticus’ face. Basically no one was really happy about the way things turned out.
