This part of the book was really intense, even more so than many circuses and campers. I was not that surprised by the outcome, however. I did not expect Tom Robinson to go free; after all, he is black. The sway that prejudice has over folks is overwhelming. I do feel that this was still a victory in the struggle against racism. Atticus may have lost the case, but it was a success. He's like Rocky, but with fewer training montages and more pacifism. He got the case, and put up an outstanding fight.
I really enjoyed this part of the book. A lot of people have commented in the past that I "would make a good lawyer" or "should consider a career in law", or something to that effect, so I was looking forward to reading this. I have never actually looked into employment as an attorney, but reading this had made me want to consider that.
