To Kill a Mockingbird: Section III - Zain Sherriff

To me, this section revolved around the idea of injustice, and not just because of the guilty verdict. From the contrasts drawn between Atticus and Bob Ewell and also Tom Robinson and Bob Ewell, to the presence of a "colored balcony", every detail in this chapter hinted at how unjust society in Maycomb was over the issue of race.  These issues definitely touch Scout, Jem, and Dill as well. All three understand the injustice that is being wrought by the town, and are moved by it to the point that they leave the courtroom.  I don't think that the children are opposed to such racial injustice because of any kind of youthful innocence, but rather that they understand, like Atticus does, how prejudiced the town is.
