Scout goes through Tom Robinson's trial thinking he must have done something to be in a trial, but the farther into the trial it gets she begins to realize it's not this man that went wrong. But it's the whole town that chooses not to see the good in him, not because of who he is, but because of the colour of his skin. She learns that everyone is equal, no matter the situation it shouldn't be based on who they are or what they look like. In the first quotation Atticus is explaining the Jem and Scout why Tom Robinson is found guilty even though he isn't. He explains how the courts are unfair when it comes to a coloured mans word against a white mans, and how it may not be right but that's how it is. “There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads, they couldn’t be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man’s word against a black man’s, the white ,am always wins. They’re ugly, but those are the facts of life.” (Lee 220) This quote is important because it shows that Scout learns that the world may not be equal, but they can do their best too treat others equal because it is the right thing to do. Not judge someone for reasons like most do. Another point is Mr raymond pretends to be an alcoholic to give people a real reason to hate him, instead of people not liking him for things that shouldn't matter to them. Scout doesn't agree with what people say about him, and learns that people have their own ways of life, and everyone should treat each other equally. After Dill takes a sip from Mr. Raymond's paper bag after Scout tells him not to, he says it's just Coca Cola, and Mr Raymond explains why he pretends to be a drunk. “That ain’t honest Mr. Raymond, making yourself out badder and you already are.” says Scout, but Mr. Raymond says “It ain't honest but it’s mighty helpful to folks.
