Write a short paragraph (at least five sentences) describing what you have learned or how you are reacting to this trial and the issues related to it. For topics, consider: Mayella's or Tom's life, Atticus's skills, the court system—juries and fairness, Dill's reasons for crying. But don't be limited to these. to kill a mockingbird

Answer:

  1. Dill cries because he cannot tolerate the way in which Tom as a Black is spoken with. He defines the reason of his crying and says, “It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em [Negroes] that way. ... In Maycomb, all the Negroes are treated badly as servants but Atticus does not treat Cal in such a way.
  2. For example, the trial of Tom Robinson and the clearly false accusation that he raped Mayella Ewell relates to many of the issues in the question, including injustice, racial segregation, racial discrimination, and crime and violence.
  3. The answer to this; which is when Atticus cross examines Mayella Ewell : of what he does is to prove that Tom Robinson could not have hit her on the right side of her face, as his left hand had been mangled beyond repair by a cotton gin when he was a boy.
  4. That is the job of the judge. On the other hand, the jury's job is to serve justice by rendering a fair, impartial verdict on the proceedings. ... On juries that are more diverse in race and gender, the right of jury nullification has the highest potential to do good for the American legal system.

Answer:

From this trial and the actions that occurred within, I have learned that prejudice is a real struggle and that it can be easy to "follow the crowd" and believe what others believe simply for the sake of "going with the flow" more or less. I learned this when Dill cried because he couldn't tolerate the manner in which Tom was being spoken to. He states "somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way" (referring to people of dark colored skin). Believing what others believe simply for the sake of "going with the flow" made apparent by the fact that they almost want him to be guilty because he is black, even though the statements made make it pretty clear that he is innocent.

(I just wrote a quick paragraph which was based off of the information given in the first answer, hope it's good.)
