He is in prison at his house for stabbing his dad with a scissors. The kids think that they keep Boo Radley chained to the bed most of the time. He is in prison at home instead of a actual prison because the sheriff did not think he deserved it. Also people have never seen him. He does not go to church on Sundays which is very strange for Maycomb county. The doors of the Maycomb house are always locked and closed. Also he has not been seen for 15 years. People have said that they have seen him through their windows at night but, some people don’t believe that. The second reason the kids are not going

    In an attempt to influence the jury, the prosecution and defense of the Lizzie Borden trial utilized female stereotypes in intricate ways. Understandably, the defense applied the public labels for women to convince the jury that Lizzie Borden could not possibly commit murder, let alone kill her own father and stepmother. The defense’s main goal became proving that Lizzie Borden’s actions and attitudes fit the stereotypical description of a Victorian Era woman. Throughout the trial, the defense provided seemingly indirect remarks regarding Lizzie Borden’s feminine nature to intentionally develop the idea of her innocence in the minds of jury members (Carlson).

    I believe that this quote refers back to the time when Scout and Jem get new rifles for Christmas and Atticus tells Jem that it would be considered a sin if they shot a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are not predators and they will not harm anything or anyone; the only thing they do is make music with their mouths.

Tom Robinson didn’t harm anyone, and the only thing that he did was help those who needed assistance.
