- - - - an old motor tyre is dumped on her shoulders and fastend to a belt around her waist
        
        bc of her severed muscles, she can't lift her arms to push it off
        
        tries to loosen the wire (useless)
        
        still, they sever the ligaments in the crook of her elbows, too
        
        now only can walk (no use of her arms)
      - they pour petrol over the tyre; burn it down
        
        she dies in the fire
        
        youths cheer as she begins to scream
- - - - first thinks he did something wrong
      - 'Whites only'
        
        park for Blacks is on the other side of town (too far away for the boy)
    - - feels invincible, doesn't stop swinging when the attendant comes nearer
      - is suddenly afraid, calls his mother
      - feels oppressed by the sign as he leaves
  - - - no anger against the boy, but against the system
- - - - knows he will lose
      - knows that Rob. is not guilty
      - tries to anticipate how much he should tell Scout and Jem
- - - - worries about them (mostly Siziwe)
      - doesn't know what happened in detail
      - can't do anything but wait
    - - wants to understand it
      - wants the white girl's mother to understand it; tries to help her
        
        that's why she writes the letter
- - - - stay together even after death, kill themselves (suicide) to not live without the other one (united in death)
