I predict that Tom Robinson will be let go and Bob Ewell will be convicted. Mayella was beat up on her right side and Bob Ewell was left handed. Tom could have easily been left handed too, but that was not the case. Tom’s left arm was twelve inches shorter than his right arm. There would be no way that Tom could beat up Mayella because he did not have full control of his left arm.
In both of theses stories there is some precious stuff going on. In to kill a mockingbird Tom Robinson was accused of rape that he did not do, but because he was black he had got accused of it. In the report of Emmett Till Till was killed because he had want to the south to visit his family but he was killed because he was black. Emmett Till was innocent but because he had no wetness no one would have ever believed him in his point of view.
I believe Tom Robinson is innocent in raping Mayella Ewell.a strong hard working black guy is being accused of seducing mayella ewell. Mayella is a white young girl. She lives with her father. She is 19 years old. Bob Ewell drinks and abuses Mayella.
Maycomb County and its people were affected greatly by the Tom Robinson case. Atticus was defending Tom Robinson against Mayella Ewell. Mayella had said that Tom had raped her. Some had different opinions than others. It was an unfair case that should not have ended the way it did.
Atticus’ closing argument In the story “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Atticus will go on to take a court case with a black man as his defendant. Tom Robinson is a black man who is accused of raping 19 year old Mayella Ewell. It was proven that she was beaten on the right side of her eye. This was important since Tom Robinson was missing most of his left hand.
Even though the jury found Tom Robinson guilty of raping Mayella Ewell, in that matter Atticus Finch, lawyer defending Tom Robinson, said that Tom Robinson was not guilty because he only has one arm and there is no way that Tom Robinson was able to hurt her while Bob Ewell is perfectly fine and
or anyone that does nothing to harm others. Tom Robinson does nothing to bring harm to anyone, but he is convicted of rape despite only showing generosity towards Mayella Ewell. These accusations are made by Bob Ewell and with each lie he makes it’s the same as shooting Tom like a mockingbird. Bob, Mayella’s father displays a high level of prejudice towards Tom, rejecting the idea that it could be possible that his daughter tried to kiss Tom. Reader’s know, Tom did not rape Mayella and he is too of a kind hearted man to directly blame Mayella for falsely accusing him.

Despite the unwavering dedication of Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird”, the absence of evidence, and a moving courtroom speech, Tom Robinson is convicted of a crime that he did not commit.

As if a false conviction was not enough, Tom is eventually killed, and the sense of justice and fairness seem to be completely violated.

Mockingbirds are beautiful, singing many songs. Showing up in many ways. They do nothing other than amuse and sing for listeners enjoyment, but why hurt them? Jeremy Finch, son of Atticus Finch, brother of Scout and a citizen of Maycomb. In the beginning Jem is ten years old and through the book ages three years and becomes thirteen.
The interesting fact of the case is that Atticus had many pieces of evidence that pointed the beating of Mayella Ewell came from her father, and Tom did not even rape Mayella. Atticus realizes that since there was no medical evidence of the rape, so it probably did not happen. After Tom Robinson tells his part of the story the jury takes the case to discuss their verdict.

Before the fate of Tom Robinson is given in the possession of the jury, both lawyers have a final attempt at convincing the jury that Tom Robinson should/shouldn 't be prosecuted. Atticus starts off his closing remarks with the fact that he believes that the case should have never come to trial and that the case "”is as simple as black and white."

Boo Radley from the beginning had only ever been trying to reach the outside world the best he can. Tom Robinson was simply put into an unfair situation from the beginning. Every single one of these characters has something in common, they all did nothing wrong
