Atticus whispered to him, and Tom Robinson was silent” (Lee 233).…
"Its a sin to kill a mockingbird. " Mockingbirds don't do anything besides make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat gardens, nest in corncribs, instead they just simply sing their hearts out for us. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee she talks about her childhood and everything she remembers.…
Tom Robinson, a character in To Kill A Mockingbird, is incessantly looked down upon due to his skin color, a factor that he has no control over. The story depicts Tom being accused of a crime that he didn’t commit. All due to the community assuming that it’s typical for a negro man to undertake a felony, he’s forced to suffer through unwanted and undeserved hardships. Tom haplessly had the disadvantage of being a colored man. “‘In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins.’”…
To begin, injustice towards selfless acts is shown through the conflict between Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell. During the trial, Tom is asked by the prosecutors; “Why?”, (Lee, p.200) in reference to why Tom is helping Mayella with house work although he has his own personal chores to accomplish at home in addition to working all day long. Tom replies; “Looked like she didn't have nobody to help her,” (Lee, p.200). He also mentions earlier-on that he chooses to work for Mayella without pay. These statements demonstrate that Tom is a selfless and hard-working man who is only looking to help others that are in need no matter his own responsibilities.…
The Tom Robinson case is over. All I can say is it is a shame that Tom Robinson went to jail. I did my job and I did what was right, but at the end, it doesn’t seem that way.

Reverend Sykes, speaking to Jem during Tom Robinson’s trial, explains how the trial is not fair and that he should not to get his hopes up. Reverend Sykes explains, “I ain’t ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white man…” (Lee 270). The Reverend has never seen the courts believe a black individual.

Mayella offered him money but Tom would not accept the dime because it was an quick minimal effort task.…
However, this innocence was taken away from him mainly because of Tom Robinson’s trial, due to the fact that he was deeply immersed into it, believing that there was no possible way that Tom could be found guilty. When Tom inevitably loses the trial due to the fact that he was a ‘Negro’, Jem was understandably crushed and bitter about the trial. “It was Jem’s turn to cry. His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. ‘It ain’t right,’ he muttered, all the way to the corner of the square where we found Atticus waiting.”…
In this paragraph, I am going to be characterizing Tom Robinson. One word that depicts Tom Robinson would be honest. He is honest for many reasons. My first reason is that he is able to admit anything that he has done. In the courthouse, Tom admitted that he had been convicted for thirty days because he fought with a man and he could not pay the fine to get out (Lee 254).…

Sirius Black once said, “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” Good and evil oppose the meanings of one another. Often in this world, people describe others by either all the positive qualities or by the negative qualities, forgetting that nothing in the world is perfect or completely imperfect.…
Because of Tom’s skin color, he is often mistreated by society. He is labeled to be a hurtful person because of the color of his skin.
