Pleasure Reading: "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Summary 4

1. Apart from their aunt’s unwanted arrival, the children had another difficult situation to face, because it was high time for the trial concerning Tom Robinson’s case. 2. As their father was the defendant’s advocate, he was going to have a lot of trouble with the proceedings, for Robinson was a black person and everybody was ready to condemn him no matter whether he was guilty or not. 3. Once Atticus was nearly killed or at least badly injured by a group of unfriendly disposed people, but his daughter managed to move them to pity and thus saved the man. 4. Later she together with her brother and friend went to the local judicial court to see the trial itself. 5. It was evident from the beginning that the defendant was innocent, while the girl, who was said to have been raped by him, as well as her father were both lying. 6. Nevertheless, the jury returned the verdict “guilty” to Robinson, and nobody was able to do anything with that.
