The courthouse reminds me of our courthouse here in town. While i was reading about the start of the trial, i pictured their courthouse just like ours. In the middle of the town and old looking with the tower. I dont think we've ever had a big case here though. I guess I can kind of relate to Scout and Jem with their dad being the lawyer for Tom Robinson, not that my dads ever been the lawyer to a man being convicted of rape, but he is a probation officer and he has had a few people I know and it definately affected me and that persons relationship and how they acted around me. Scout reminds me of my little sister. Scouts always trying to keep up with Jem and Dill, and as kids Gracie was always running around trying to keep up with me and my friends. Also when we were little we would act out plays, like Jem, Scout and Dill did. Gracie, being the youngest always got stuck witht he worst part or the least important, like Scout. This book really isn't like any other books i've read, other than the ones i've read in clas about racism and stuff. In my free time i don't really enjoy reading but when i do its fantasy stuff.
In this section it really showed how unfair people can be. In the trial, Tom Robinson is clearly not guilty, but due to his color he is being accused. This is still happening. People are accusing people for things due to their color, gender, religion, and everything else you could possibly judge someone on.
