The Start of the Trial: Reflection

We've reached the climactic part of the novel, now: The Trial of Tom Robinson.

Harper Lee creates a significant amount of tension at the trial, even though it seems that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. For your next blog post I would like you to reflect on how she does this.  Consider responses to the trial (Miss Maudie, in particular), the seating arrangements, the revelation of evidence, the presentation of Bob Ewell.

There are lots of online quizzes based on the novel.  See if you can find one, trial it, and share the link on your blog.

Remember also to comment on three other blog posts from members of the group.

And as soon as everyone has done this, we will begin watching the film!
