Who is serving on the jury for Tom Robinson's trial? Why is the makeup of the jury significant?

English
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The jury’s decision to convict Tom Robinson for a crime he clearly did not commit plagues Jem (and many readers) as an intolerable miscarriage of justice. The most obvious reason justice isn’t served is because the jury’s overwhelming racism prevents Tom from getting a fair trial. Another reason the jury finds Tom guilty is because both Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob, both perjured themselves on the stand. In addition to the presumption of an impartial jury, the justice system operates on the assumption that witnesses will tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” after being sworn in to testimony. But both Mayella and Bob lied rather than admit that Mayella tried to kiss Tom. Tom’s race, combined with the Ewells’ lies, proved enough for the racist jury to find Tom guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of Tom’s innocence.

What does the peot want to express in the following. Explain in your own words.
Stells [14]

Answer:

This expert from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus third act and first scene depicts how Titus is pleading to the Roman judges to reconsider executing his sons. He is begging the cold tribune to reconsider their decision but as they have gone, he is pleading to the “stones” as they seem warmer and less harsh that the judges. Thus, he is voicing his anguish and comparing the emperor’s cold heart with inanimate beings. Titus’ laments to the stones may border madness. However, he may be addressing the audience to arouse their sympathy.
