To Kill A Mockingbird
Storyboard Text
- The Finch family is presented in Maycomb, Alabama. This family is doing okay despite the fact that the 1930s were a period of depression. The father, Atticus, is an accomplished attorney. But the narrator says that racism and bigotry are rampant at the moment. In his most recent case, Atticus is defending Tom Robinson, a Black man who attends church with Calpurnia.
- Atticus is called to defend a young black man who has allegedly been charged with raping a white woman. The prejudice and shame that many have for Tom Robinson make this effort difficult. Out of moral integrity and a genuine conviction that the racial practices of the deep South would eventually change, Atticus agrees to take the case.
- Due to the fact that their father is representing a black man, Scout and Jem, Atticus' children, become the center of attention. As they learn important lessons about what is right, justice, and devotion, the kids experience their own trials throughout the trial!
- When Tom is determined to be guilty, Atticus' innocent children find it hard to comprehend that the people they know could sentence an innocent man to death by electric chair. Jem exits the courtroom in disbelief, fury, and tears after the decision. The African American community showers the Finch family with food in appreciation for their heroic defense of Tom, surprising the kids because Atticus lost.
- Guilty!!!
- George Ewell is one guy in particular who has made his distaste of Atticus well known. He threatened Helen, Tom's wife, and Atticus during the course of the book. The kids worry that he'll damage their father somehow.
