Today was the day of the trial, and as I expected, Atticus lost his first trial. We went to watch the trial and were surprised to find the whole town watching. We were luckily to find a space beside Reverend Sykes. The trial started with Heck describing Tom took an advantage of Mayella and beaten her. The most interesting part started when Atticus tested out that Mayella’s injuries could only be done by a left-handed person. Tom’s left hand was injured and could not use any power, so it was Bob Ewell who wrote his name using his left hand. Atticus was very professional and skilled, because he caught this left-hand evidence and held it tightly, but surprisingly when everyone thought that Atticus was at a win-win situation, he walked out the room and was respected by the black people for trying hard to defending Tom Robinson. I felt that everything is not right and this whole world is becoming more unfair to me, but I guess Atticus was feeling more misery.
