The Deliberation Image (Ch21-25)

For this section, I choose a picture of a jury respectively. In this section we know that the jury is deliberating on the case of Tom Robinson. My previous image post was a picture of an unbalanced scale. Both of these images represent what is going on in this section. The jury is an all white jury in the prejudiced times of the Great Depression. Tom Robinson is being falsely accused of rape by Mayella even though she is the one that was doing the things to Tom Robinson. I think that Mayella is totally wrong and a coward for what she is doing. 

Running Away Image (Ch13-16)

I choose this picture as Dill ran away from his new home and “family” in Meridian. After getting married again, his newly founded family has not been paying enough attention to him. Here, I choose a zebra which gained enough speed (with the motorcycle) to escape the large cat which would eat him. The large cat represents the neglect his family is now showing him. Dill is becoming a bigger character as we progress in this story. I think one day Scout and Dill will be together as they want to be. This picture can also represent that racism in the book (along with Tom Robinson) especially if he motorcycle crashes.

Dill Runs Away (Ch13-16)

In this section of the book, we see that Dill runs away from Meridian back to Maycomb. I think this represents the changes and also the love between the two (Scout and Dill) will not fade. Dill told Scout and Jem what he was enduring. This shows that sometimes when people get married again after having children, they may stop paying attention to the son. This is exactly what Dill is going through in this section. At first, I thought Dill would be gone for a long time. My prediction was somewhat wrong as he is now back. During this section, we also learn about Alexandra and how she basically tells Atticus that he is bringing shame to the Finch name. I think this was a misjudgment on her part as it is all a part of racism. A lot of the people in this book are too ignorant to understand that racism and neglect is bad. This relates back to Dill and how he ran away. I think further in the story we will see more develop with Dill as well as racism and etc. Dill is becoming a bigger and bigger character throughout this story and I think we will begin to see more soon.

Black Church (Ch10-12)

For this section, I choose a picture of an old church which was only for black people. In the later part of this section, we see Calpurnia take Jem and Scout to the black church. At first, one of the church-goers tells Cal that the children should go to a while church. Eventually, the Reverend said that they are welcome as they are still children of God or something to that effect.

This shows that the racism is almost one sided in this time period. This, as we know, is a racially segregated time period and this represents that. I am almost positive that if Calpurnia was white and the children were black, they wouldn’t have been allowed in the church at all. Even if they were allowed in, the entire town most likely would have been furious. This picture also sheds a little light on the Tom Robinson case which Atticus, the towns best lawyer (who is white), is defending. There is also a lot of prejudice towards this fact as well.
