Answer 1

Tom Robinson

Step-by-step explanation:

In "To kill a mocking bird" by Harper Lee, After the verdict given by the Jury, Jem left the courtroom crying and angry. This is because they all believed that the Jury will acquit Tom Robinson. Atticus defended Tom with everything in him so the children were surprised when He did not win the case.

In this chapter 21-22, Jem and Scout realizes how important integrity and respect is. Jem could not comprehend how Tom was not acquitted, but when her father tells her that "when it is a white man's word against a black man, the white man always wins". This made Jem to be upset about how unjustly Tom was treated and vows to make a difference when she grows up.
