Paragraph

Harper Lee has used simplicity and wisdom together through Atticus and the case to incorporate a rock-hard understanding to the reader about the truth of the trial. Atticus proves completely to the court and the reader that this case was totally unnecessary. "To begin with," he said, "this case should never have come to trial. This case is as simple as black and white." The entire court, the jury, and the reader know Tom Robinson is innocent and if it were not for racial discrimination, it would be a simple case with an obvious verdict. Atticus is smart and knows that the trial was unjust because of racism. He accepted that case, ready to lose, but also ready to prove to everyone that Tom had done nothing wrong. With his wisdom, Atticus reveals Tom's innocence in a clever, straightforward way that is understood by all.

wow, that is really good, you have a great idea, and i agree, they showed that tom Robinson was not guilty, and you could tell it was a hard decision for the jury, because they felt that he was not guilty, but since the case was as plain as black and white they called him forth as guilty, but i think your paragraph is amazing.
