1. Describe how Jem felt about Tom Robinson's chance of aquittal? 2. Describe Mayella Ewell's testimony on the stand. What does she say happens? Is she convincing?
3. Why do you think Tom Robinson is convicted? How does Jem react?
4. How does Tom Robinson's testimony that he felt sorry for Mayella Ewell affect the trial?
5. How are things with the Radley house these days?
6. Why does Aunt Alexandra refuse Scout's desire for Walter Cunningham to come over and play? How does Scout deal with this?
7. When Atticus is spat on by Bob Ewell, how does he change Jem's definition of bravery?
8. Atticus explains Tom Robinson's conviction by saying "'when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins.'" Do you think this was true? Do you think it is true today? Are we still racially biased?
