Responding 2

I emphasized most with Tom Robinson as I followed the action in the courtroom. This is because the book basically had been written in a style that creates the most empathy with him. The book makes Bob Ewell appear rude and unlikeable. The book does so for Mayella also, but also generates some pity for her as she has "no friends". I do not believe however, that she deserves any pity as she lied in court for her own sake. We should never discriminate anyone based on their skin colour. They did nothing wrong except for being black.
