Why is Tom Robinson found guilty, even though the evidence clearly indicates he is innocent? To Kill A Mockingbird

English
1 answer:
oksian1 [2.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson is not guilty of anything. He is accused, by Bob and Mayella Ewell, of raping Mayella. But it seems abundantly clear that Mayella and Bob are lying and that Tom is completely innocent of any crime. When Atticus questions Bob Ewell on the stand, he makes it clear to note that Mayella had a wound on her right eye and had wounds all around her neck. Therefore, it would be more likely that someone with two good working hands who is also left-handed was likely to be the attacker. Bob Ewell is left-handed with two good working hands. Tom has only one good working hand, his right, and his left hand is basically useless due to an accident with a cotton gin. Given the testimony and this evidence and the fact that it was well known that Bob beat his children, including Mayella, it is fairly clear that Bob was probably Mayella's attacker and that she conspired with Bob to blame Tom for everything, knowing that a black man in 1930s Maycomb was likely to get convicted in spite of any evidence that might suggest his innocence.

Explanation:

                                                                          90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                          Umungasi,

                                                                          Aba.

                                                                          November 17, 2020.

Dear Chichi,

       I am so pleased to hear that you recently gained admission into Rockview High School. This achievement bears witness to the fact that you have been a hardworking student. Rockview High School is known to have the strictest selection process for admission of new students into highschool. I congratulate you once more on this achievement!

     My years as a student at Rockview High School were very rewarding. I can boldly say that Rockview High school teachers laid the foundation upon which I am now building my life. Rockview is a citadel of moral and academic formation where young teenagers are prepared to undertake diverse life endeavors.

    Chichi, every achievement in life comes with responsibilities. You have to take responsibility while in school. Remember that none of us will be there to guide you into the right choices but you have your conscience as your guide. Do not associate with people who do not uphold the system of values that you have learnt at home. Do not lower your moral standard in order to accommodate friends who think that mischief making is fun. Remember to hold up your head high even when you are left alone with your convictions. Always bear in mind the injunction of the Holy Bible; "Do not follow a multitude to do evil". Let this be your watchword.

     Lastly, remember that good grades have never fallen on anybody like ripe cherries from a tree. You have to work hard and stay focused. Remember that your final GPA is very important when you begin to seek admission into college after high school.

     A word is enough for the wise. Remember to stay safe always and obey all corona virus safety protocols while in school.

                                                                                              Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                              Jude
