The jury knew Tom was innocent but back then, blacks were always guilty no matter the situaton.…

    Essay On Jem's Transformation In To Kill A Mockingbird

    In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the story is centralized around a young girl named Scout and her experiences in a racist society; however, throughout the plotline, Lee develops another extremely dynamic character: Jem, Scout’s older brother.
