8 REFLECTION

At any point, write about how you feel while reading a section of the book. Say how what is happening makes you feel and why? When I was reading the passage in the court I felt a bit like Dill did: helpless, compassionate. Because the innocence of Tom Robinson was really clear. But Mr. Gilmer the opposite lawyer interpreted the facts for his side: Tom is guilty because he escaped. But if he didn’t escape he would have been guilty too because he staid.

The narrative in the book is really understandable and explanations of Atticus were so simple – Every Child can understand them (this are words of Scout) but the jurors didn’t. And so an additional feeling by reading the text was fascination!

At school I read the book “Andorra” from Max Frisch. In that book the main character is excluded and bullied because people think he is a Jew. At the end he was executed. This two books remind me to each other because in both someone has to die because he is part of an unaccepted race. And in both it is really clear the person is innocent.
