I cried today. The persecuting attorney was harsh to Tom. He yelled at him and screamed at him and treated the poor fella like he was a piece of trash. It wasn't right. I knew that was wrong. Lots of white folks treated blacks unfairly and I hated it. I couldn't help it. My emotions took over and I began cryin'. Scout had to take me out of the courtroom so I could control myself.
I sure hope Atticus wins the trial. Tom didn't deserve to be treated like that. When I grow up, I'm gonna treat all men equal, I promise that. I won't be racist or prejudice, I'll be kind to everyone.
