Chapters 17-19

In these chapters the trial really kicks off. I predict that Tom Robinson loses the trial. I do not predict this because he is actually guilty, but because of what he is against. This trial is before the civil rights movement and extreme racism is still happening. There is no way that a black man in this time can win a trial against a jury and court full of white men, even though many of them know he is innocent, they are still racist and will still convict him. And others are too blinded by their racism to see the possibility of him not being guilty.
