4 0
Daisy was driving when Myrtle was killed.  She killed Myrtle but Gatsby is willing to take the blame and the consequences in order to protect Daisy.  Daisy only wants to save her own skin.  She is selfish and self-centered and Tom is only concerned with maintaining his status in the elite world of the rich and wants nothing to do with scandal.  The external conflict would be the law.  Daisy will not confess to the hit and run she committed and Tom would not give up his standing in the community to do the honest thing and go to the police with the truth.  Daisy and Tom are content with allowing Gatsby to take the blame since it is presumed by some, namely Myrtle's husband, that Gatsby was driving the car at the time of Myrtle's death.  Unfortunately for Gatsby, Myrtle's husband arrived before the police and killed him.  Both Daisy and Tom are without conscience or a moral compass.  They get out of town and never even attend Gatsby's funeral.  Kind of hard to face a corpse when you are the reason they are dead.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

People support his actions and respect his courage. They just don't have their own courage to speak up for justice. Atticus's views towards the blacks in the community are not socially acceptable, however, so people criticize him for these "bad" attitudes or risk being lumped in with him themselves.

Explanation:

Atticus defending Tom Robinson was unacceptable in the town of Maycomb.

People respected him because he stood up for what he believed was right.

He believed that the court was the only place what provided equal justice but it didn't. He had real courage to do something that other people were scared of
