Court Case

I had been asked by John Taylor to defend a black man, Tom Robinson. This was hard choice, if I chose to defend Tom i would most definitly lose the case, and can risk Jem and Scout's safety. If I do not defend him, who will? I chose to defend Tom to set an example to my kids, to show them that negros are equal to us. I hoped Jem and Scout come to me for their answers and not listen to the town. As I was speaking to Jack I noticed Scout and left her alone because I wished for her to listen to every word I said. I wanted her to understand why people are mocking her. I just hope I made the right choice to help Tom.
