When I was reading these chapteres, I noticed that the prejudice in the town is getting stronger the futher the reader goes into the story. Its not so much focusing on Jem’s and Scout’s lives anymore… it more or less focuses on their opinions about their father. Atticus is certainly becoming one of the main characters in the story at this point. From what I can tell from the story, he is a lawyer who is sticking up for Tom Robinson, a black man who was accused of rape. Because Atticus is defending him, the reader doesn’t really know if Tom is guilty or actually innocent. Atticus obviously believes he is innocent because he fights so hard for him. When he sits outside the jail cell waiting for the people to try and come get Tom, this just proves to the reader that Atticus is really taking this trial seriously.
