During the trial Mr. Raymond is like a second curtain call for the drama of town gossip.
On the stand Tom Robinson demonstrates that he is caring , but when prejudice corners him like a fox and he is convicted, Tom panics, flees, and is shot down.
After the trial, Jem shivers like a frozen fowl in the wake of hatred's retort, retreating into himself, fearful for his father.
What has been said and done at Tom Robinson's trial rests in the heart of Scout, who like the shadow on a long road, cannot retreat to where she once was.
Like the warmth of a fire in spite of the cold winds of disagreement, the courage of Atticus warms his children and gives light to their social consciousness.
