The human mind is incredible. The mind is extraordinary as it acts as a control panel of the person itself. As wonderful as it sounds, the mind can also be very deadly. A single bad thought could manipulate the whole mind and cause destruction and tragedy to the person themself and to innocent people.

In the story, Tom is on trial for a crime he did not commit. That crime was the raping of a girl named Mayella Ewell. Mayella tried to seduce Tom, to which he rejected her and was then seen by Mayella's father, Bob Ewell. Mayella told her father that Tom had raped her and even though he denied the claims, Tom was sent to jail to await trial for the crime.
