.” What do you think he meant? Is it about perspective? Imagination?

Answer:

Explanation:

He meant that what do you take in from looking at something. So if you are absently watching a tree and don't do anything else, you might miss the fact that the leaves are moving with the wind, but they are held fast by the connection they make with the branch that holds them.

Think carefully about what that actually means. When fall comes, the branch lets go and the leaves float to the ground.

Even if you think there is a temperature mechanism that loosens the hold the branch has on the leaves, Someone or Something put it there so it could happen.

You excuse me if I let my religion show somewhat. I do think it is some sort of miracle that lets something like that happens. And Thoreau wouldn't disagree. Those Transcendental writers (like Thoreau) all saw miracles in the ordinary.

Why is Tom Robinson found guilty, even though the evidence clearly indicates he is innocent? To Kill A Mockingbird
oksian1 [2.3K]

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.
