Question

Make bullet points about Tom Robinson’s testimony in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Tom was afraid, but he was sincere in his testimony.

2. He did not deny that he had any contact with Mayella, as she asked him to do favors for her.

3. He didn't deny that he was inside Mayella's house the night she was raped, but he was there to fix a door.

4. The testimony of tone contradicts that of Mayella.

5. Tom claims that Mayella held him inside the house, saying that he saved money so that the children could leave and leave them alone.

Explanation:

Tom's testimony is a tense moment in history. Firstly, because we can see Tom's nervousness and his concern in reporting what actually happened in a convincing way. Tom is sincere and narrates all the contact he had with Mayella and these interactions between them, he reinforces his own innocence and even if he shows information that contradicts Mayella's he is not absolved of the accusations.
