In this part of the book, Judge Taylor asks for the thoughts of the jury. They then unanimously choose “guilty.”: “I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the jury: ‘Guilty... guilty… guilty… guilty…’” (Lee 240). This quote relates to my topic of racism and discrimination by showing that the jury thought that Tom Robinson was guilty even though there was evidence that he was innocent.
Here, Scout is describing where the Ewells live and the surrounding area: “A dirt road ran from the highway past the dump, down to a small Negro settlement some five hundred yards beyond the Ewells.” (Lee 194). This shows racism and discrimination since the two communities are separated. Even the Ewells who are the lowest class in the white community are treated better than people in the black community.
Scout has just finished describing how the black community is separated from the Ewells and the white community. She then describes how the white people disregard the property of the black community by destroying it: “It was necessary either to back out to the highway or go the full length of the road and turn around; most people turned around in the Negroes’ front yards” (Lee 195). This is another example of how racism plays into the lives of people living in Maycomb. They do not care about the black community at all and do whatever they want to them.

If I told you he was your brother we could reminisce
Then you would go about your day
If I said you ought to give him some of your water
You'd shake your canteen and walk away
The perception that divides you from him is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
This is not a black and white world
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
If I told you she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawn
The perception that divides you from her is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
This is not a black and white world
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
Yes we all will get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
(vocal improv)
Look into your eyes
No daylight
New day now
It's not a black and white world
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will appreciate
The beauty of gray
This is not a black and white world
To be alive I say the colors must swirl
And I believe that maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
Yes we all will get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
The beauty of gray
The beauty of gray (now)
The beauty of gray
