Chapters 21 & 22

In chapter 21, "To Kill a Mockingbird", its starts of with Carponia gives a letter to Atticuss saying that the kids haven't been seen but they realize they have been seating in the colored area. They are sent home to eat and Atticuss lets them come back to see if Atticuss has won the trail. When they come back they find out that nothing has changed and they are glad that they haven't missed a thing. The jury has been out for about three hours now and Jem is happy that its taking so long but Scout is not. The jury comes back and everyone claims that Tom is guilty. Atticuss gets tense every time they say guilty but realize that they took a long time to decide that. They took a tribute to Atticuss since he tried his best to defend Tom Robinson. We can realize that racism does change things in these times.
in chapter 22, it starts out with them leaving the court house which Jem is crying and yelling that it is not right. Atticuss tells him that no it is not right but they have done it before and they will continue to do so. The next morning Atticuss is called to the table for breakfast and sees a table full of food. Carponia says that it was a gift from the black community, saying thanks for what he did. Atticuss tears up and tells Carponia to tell them not to do it again because it is a difficult economic time, in the great depression. Jem is taking this harder then Scout since Jem is older and becoming more mature. Ms. Maudy says that someone should really step up and defend what he believes in, directing to Jem. At the end of the chapter Atticuss is spit at by Bob, he says that he will get Atticuss if it were the last thing he'll do.
