Question

Everyone in town talks about Tom’s death, most saying it’s “typical.” What do they mean?

Answer 1

Tom's death is "typical" to the Maycomb residents because white people exhibits the hypocrisy and racism towards black people.

Explanation:

''To Kill a Mockingbird'' is a novel by Harper Lee. In the chapter 25 of the scout notes that Maycomb is curious about Tom Robinson's death for "about two days."

Tom's death is "typical" for Maycomb people, because the excerpt shows the hypocrisy and rationality at Maycomb, who stereotypically attribute Tom's behavior to attempts to escape in a way that rejects their conscience.

Because Tom is black and it was normal to sentencing black people. Many white Maycomb believed that blacks often avoid justice. They can justify their shame and intolerance by this.

Answer 2

That they saw his death coming.
