To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 21-30

There were parts in these final chapters where my mouth actually hung open in shock as I read; left me speechless to say the least. There are so many points that I could articulate about, but I will limit it to only a few. The death of Tom Robinson was a very disheartening point in the story. I felt so much sorrow for his wife and family; for Atticus as well because he was enjoying the huge feast with friends and did not expect to hear the news. Auntie Alexandra racist and non-sympathetic attitude drove me over the edge. I became so infuriated by her ways throughout the entire book, that was the last straw. Atticus still stood his ground and did what he believed was right. Going to Tom's house was probably the most polite gesture he could have done.
