"Yes, suh. I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more'n the rest 'em-"

"You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?" Mr. Gilmer seemed ready to rise to the ceiling. 

"The witness realized his mistake and shifted uncomfortably in the chair. But the damage was done. Below us, nobody liked Tom Robinson's answer. Mr. Gilmer paused a long time to let it sink in."

Since this book was written in the time where there was no equality among human beings also of the Great Depression, of course there is a section in the book connecting to it. That means poverty, and unemployment all over. You know even thought I don't want to say it, but in El Salvador (my home country) it's like the Great Depression everyday. Like it's poor, and there's like no good jobs that's mean but it's true. 

What was wrong well I tell you, you see there was this girl and this grown up man who apparently "raped" her. So then you probably know what came down, If not well there was a trial and guess who won? You guess it the girl, why? Well because in the time of harshness they were in and just like "oh he did it because he's black" like really? That's plain sibling fighting, at least they did do as I guess any trial as in making the victims/others talk. Also I didn't tell you but the girl is Mr. Ewell's daughter who is like nineteen and a half and the grown man is a black man (Thomas Robinson). 

What's wrong with this event of connection to the event is that well unfairness, which I don't enjoy when that person who was guilty in actually innocent. Also of revenge or maybe even of getting vice versa to you coming back, but not since clearly it didn't count. What could have happened that would turn the story (maybe in my view) is that the judge could put guilty on Mayella than Thomas. But of course I'm wrong because really either way I think about it even if she doesn't lie it still goes back to Thomas since he's black.
