I believe that he takes the case because he couldn't live with himself if he did not. I think he says something like, "I couldn't even tell you or Scout what to do." in the book but I'm not sure.

Jem becomes more mature. He is still a boy at the end of the book, but he is working his way into manhood. This is shown through his reaction at the trial of Tom Robinson (he actually cries because of the injustice of the court) and also in the way he doesn't want to play games with his younger sister (who he still sees as a child). Scout is still a child at the end of the novel, but she is being to see things from a different...

Scout is puzzled by Miss Gates' disapproval toward Hitler because of Miss Gates’ outspoken prejudices against Tom Robinson. In chapter twenty-six, Miss Gates tries to explain the reason that Hitler persecutes the Jews: ‘That’s the difference between America and Germany. We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship. Dictator-ship,’ she said. ‘Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who...

Mr. Underwood writes a very blunt and harsh editorial about the death of Tom Robinson in the paper. He compares Tom to a songbird, and compares his death to "the senseless slaughter of songbirds." Harper Lee uses this editorial to continue to develop her theme of the mockingbird, once again concentrating on how it is a sin to kill something innocent.

When Miss. Maudie tells Jem "things are never as bad as they seem" in Chapter 22 when Jem is upset about the trial."His colored friends for one thing, and people like us. People like Judge Taylor.

Atticus has to go to Helen Robinson's house to deliver the bad news that Tom was shot and killed in a foiled and desperate escape attempt. He encounters Jem and Dill along the way and reluctantly takes them along. When Helen gets the news of her husband's death, she crumples, according to Dill, "...like a giant with a big foot just came along and stepped on her." The reason this scene is in the book is because the reader is...
