Answer:

because the jury was racist

Explanation:

The jury’s decision to convict Tom Robinson for a crime he clearly did not commit plagues Jem 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 that 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 after being sworn to testify. 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.

VLD [36.1K]

Hema’s mother has a powerful connection to her Bengali culture, and she also has the culture of being a mother. She talks to Kaushik in Bengali language, yet also she also has the sympathy and care of a mother for her child, which is common in all cultures. Kaushik has a mix of American and Bengali culture, that’s why she understands Hema’s mother when she talks to him in Bengali, even though he replies in English. As Kaushik went to the market, he brought back broth and magazines which is quite popular in American culture. The passage shows how Jhumpa’s life is a mix of cultures that integrates with one another. She has Indian culture but was raised in American culture, and that entwines with the culture of her ancestors.

The title of this novel is "Black Boy." What does his ironic use of the word "boy" signify about the way that black men were per
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.

The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.

Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.
