Dill's comment about becoming a clown indicates that he was profoundly affected by the unfortunate outcome of the trial. Similar to Jem, Dill has lost all faith in the court system and is digusted by Tom's injustice. After losing his childhood innocence, Dill wants to protect his fragile emotions from ever experiencing anything traumatic or tragic again.
However, Dill is too young and naive to realize that becoming a clown will not protect his emotions. Dill also gains a significant perspective on Maycomb's racist community and understands the dangers of racial prejudice and injustice.
Post a Comment. There is some evidence to suggest thatwas a spy throughout 's classic novel. Julia portrays herself as a loyal admirer of Big Dill is also upset with the verdict and expresses his displeasure at witnessing racial injustice firsthand by commenting, "I think Ill be a clown when I get grown Jem has a stable home to come to every day in contrast to Dil who is abused mentally and physically by his parents.
Jem is mature and older than Dill so while Jem has a better understanding of the verdict he can grasp the full depth of what is happening around him, Dill doesn't. Jem is always pitied and looked down upon while Jem is looked at as someone normal so Dill doesn't feel sorry for a negro.
Jem sees the world as people that are equal so by Tom being convicted for something he didn't do, it stirs him up. He knows it's not right.
Jessica I actually I agree with your Blog Post because Dill he doesn't really care if Atticus hit his head on the table he really don't care because it's not his head. I think that Dil have mixed emotions inside the Verdict. I think that whole thing about hitting the head was actually a Ironic Statement. Jessica and Divia Sorry but I actually didn't read over my comment but Dill he really don't girl if he butt his head into a stone wall because it's not his head.
Back to what I said Dill have mixed emotions. Dill and Jem react to the verdict in different ways but Jem's reaction was actually deeper than Dill's. After seeing his father loose his case and Tom Robinson being found guilty, Jem was shocked at the results of the case. He was shocked because he had thought that his father had won his case. In chapter 22 when Jem said "It aint right, Atticus.
Whereas Jem was actually talking about whats wrong with him, Dill was showing his anger and not talking about it. He ran away from home, Talked bad about his auntie and was just mad throughout pages I didnt expect Jem to be sad by the way he was acting in the beginning of the story because he was a rough character and wasnt really emotional but i expected Dill to kind of be mad because he is one of the characters in the story who is kind of a righteous person and stands up for what he believes.
Kalvon, I don't think that you was really getting to the point of the reason why the boys reacted the way they did, you really didn't give enough background information, so it was like your basically just listing how they felt but their were no meaning to it. Kalvon I Agree With What Trinity Said I feel that you aren't explaining the way they feel or their actions I think your just saying how you think they felt but not really digging in context of the text to explain your thinking.
I did when i said Jem was a rough character and that i wouldnt expect him to act like that, But i said i know why dill may have been mad because he is a righteous person. Both are reasons i think they would act like that. Also when i said He thought Atticus was going to win the case thats another reason why he would act the way he did. Kalvon , I don't really get the point that is in your response.
In my opinion you are saying that Jem was mad at Atticus instead of the trial. I think that you are also concluding that Dill has already been mad because of his home life but I think that there is more to that.
I agree with what Trinity said because Kalvon you made it feel like they didn't feel any type of way like they did't put any meaning into how they really felt about the verdict. You didn't really put the part that they both cried about what had happen during the verdict. How Jem cried after the verdict.
Kalvon, you say that you gave deeper meaning for Jem, now I see what your talking about but what about Dill? I feel that the verdict of the Tom Robinson trail Dill and Jem response is somewhat similar and different because Jem responds in a solicitude way knowing that Atticus put up an argument of Tom Robinson innocents of not being guilty.
Jem begins to cry because he knows the trail is wrong. In the text it says" i peeked at Jem: his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each "guilty"was a separate stab between them" pg. Dill was sleep during the time of the trail when the verdict is was told.
I think Dill was sleep because the trail bored him and he lost interest. Divia do you feel that if Dill was woke he would have hade an reaction like Jem hade?
Taniya, Yes I do feel that if Dill was awake he wouldn't had the same interest in the verdict. Divia I agree with your compare and contrast. And do u think that if dill was awoke during the verdict was going on would he be more interested in what was going on and do you think that his perspective towards the verdict would have changed. Good job division I also think that the trial is wrong based on what I read so far. Thanks to all. And Taylore well I feel that if he was awake he would be interested in the verdict.
In chapter 21, Jem's response to the verdict was devastating and not what he expected. In the text it states "It was Jem's turn to cry. It ain't right, he muttered all the way to the corner of the square where we found Atticus waiting.
In the text it states "Dill told us of Miss Rachel's reaction last night, which was: if a man like Atticus Finch wants to butt his head against a stone wall it's his head. Bet that women drinks a pint for breakfast every morning know she drinks two glasses full.
Seen her. Even though living in a town that's majority racist he is mature enough to know what's right and what's not. Jem has a father that doesn't allow negativity to blacks nor whites because we're all human beings at the end of the day.
I think Dill response is that way because he doesn't really have a family that will teach him the goods or the bad. He lives with people who show him no attention, Drinks all day, beats on him and etc. So I doubt if he can control what he says or does to people in a disrespectful manner because he grew up of hearing ignorance.
I agree with you on your thoughts Dill. He was raised in a different way than Jem and Scout so his feelings and opinions about things may be different due to the way he was raised. Jem and Scout may be more soft because of whats going on in their life, Like their mother dying. Kenneth ford Jem was asking Atticus how could this happen to Tom to be plead guilty, he is innocent and Jem was crying with angry tears. Jem didn't understand how did Tom was found guilty and he was quiet and it wasn't fair.
Dill's reaction happened already before the verdict in tears and when he found out he was found guilty he really didn't have an reaction at that time. Jem doesn't get beaten or in trouble from his dead but differ from dill he get abused by his parents. Dill doesn't feel anything for a negro because he really doesn't understand the verdict as to Jem he does.
The way Jem and dill responds to the verdict in tom Robinson's trial are both different from each other. The way jem responded towards the verdict was that he got angry and had began to cry about how it wasn't fair that tom robinson had to go to jail and how he shouldn't have been guilty. The way dill responded about the verdict was not much he didn't cry and he didn't get mad because he had cried about it before the trial even began.
How they are both the same is because they both felt that Tom Robinson shouldn't have been guilty and shouldn't have been put in jail. I think that the reason why the both of them responds in the way they do is because they are both children and really don't understand about what really is going on and why they really had him jail.
Because their father didn't really want his kids to know about what racism is and didn't want them to learn about it either. We use cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website.

Gilmer, the attorney for the prosecution, questions Tom in a such a cruel and devious manner that it clearly indicates his racial bias. When Tom Robinson is on the stand, Atticus asks him questions in the same manner in which he speaks to the Ewells or anyone else. Jem is quite confident by the end of Chapter 17 when Atticus shows how it was more likely for a left-handed man Mr. Ewell to have beaten up Mayella.
Even until the end of Chapter 21, Jem is still very confident. But at the very end of the chapter when the jury gives the guilty verdict, Jem is crushed. Dill can show empathy , or identify with Boo because he would not have had any place to run to if he had not known Scout and Jem. As Dill explains this to Scout and Jem, he is giving the two another example of a way to walk around in another's skin. Dill shows empathy in To Kill A Mockingbird. Dill cries because he was so horrified at the treatment of Tom Robinson at the hands of Mr.
Dill says that "it was the way he Mr. Gilmer said it made me sick , plain sick ," Lee Atticus Finch , a main character who is defending Tom, flusters Mayella on the stand, prompting her to make one final statement: 'I got somethin' to say an' then I ain't gonna say no more.
