Childhood/Parenthood
-
-
Scout, Jem and Dill watch the trial from the balcony with the black community
-
As they watch, Jem is confident that Atticus will win the case for Tom
Scout feels sorry for Mayella when he sees her on the stand, thinking she’s the “loneliest person she’s ever seen” next to Boo Radley
Dill becomes so upset by Mr. Gilmer approach to cross examining Tom that he runs out of the courthouse crying
The kids are told to stand after the jury convicts Tom and Atticus leaves the courtroom (“Your father is passing” Reverend Sykes tells Scout)
This event relates to parenthood because during the 1920's racism was huge. It was very frowned upon for white people to even associate with black people because white people were thought to be the superior race. The fact that Scout and Jem sat on the balcony with the colored people without any issues shows that they were raised to not define someones personality because of the color of their skin.
