  1. The way that dill and jem's reaction to the verdict is that they Both get upset when they hereit, but on the other hand the way Jem and dill's reaction to the verdict are different is because when dill heard the verdict he was so upset that he walked out of the courtroom crying, he even said that he needed something to settle his stomach.

    1. (Tis is a re-make of my first post) The way that Jem and dill's reaction to the verdict is similar is that they both got upset when they heard it, but on the other hand the way Jem and dill's reaction to the verdict are different is because when dill heard the verdict he was so upset that he walked out of the courtroom crying, he even said that he needed something to settle his stomach.All Jem did was say that the verdict was unfair. I think Jem and dill reacted to the verdict this way is because even though they are white,they still are not prejudice.

    2. @Angel you are using stuff from before page 279..... Like the fact that you said Dill had to walk out.... I'm just wondering how could Dill walk out when he was sleep and the time that he did walk out was not his reaction to the verdict that was his reaction to the way Tom was being treated by Mayella's attorney.

    3. Angle Williams You Need To Check Your Spelling For one, Second I Disagree With You Because I Don't Think That you Have Read a The Book To Understand Because It's Obvious That You Don't Know What Your Saying

    4. Angel I'm very confused because Dill was sleep he wasn't upset he fell asleep before they said that Tom Robinson was guilty then it's a lot of miss grammar going on this post is just all mess up

    5. @Angel: I don't understand what your saying..............explain more.

    6. @Angel I agree with you because they both where upset at the people in the court and how they really said that Tom was guilty after all the evidence he stated but in the mean time try and re-read what you say so it could make since

    8. @Angel I understand and agree with why you would say that there reactions were the same because Jem started to cry then when Dill woke he also began to cry.

    9. @Jabari I still don't understand because your reasoning is false.... Dill never did start crying because he already knew what was going to happen because he came in there expecting the worse because that's all he knows how to do.

    10. Dill didn't wake up and started crying I ment he cry at the began of the trial because of the things that Atticus said hit him, and he felt it and let his feels out.

    11. @Jabari: I don't understand when did Dill start crying because he was sleep when the verdict was said & Jem was the one that really felt bad.

    12. @Jabari that's where you are wrong again.... Dill did start crying but it wasn't because of Atticus's speech, it was because Tom was being treated poorly by Mayella's attorney.

  3. During the trail I don't think there were any similarities between Dill and Jem because during the trial they really don't bring up Dill. But they are different because Jem was so excited that he couldn't even think of sleeping but on the other hand Dill couldn't wait any longer.... On page 281 it says "Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder..." I think their differences has something to do about how they grew up because Jem was very confident that they jury and they Judge would agree with us.... On page 279 Jem says "Don't see how any jury could convict on what we heard---" I think he was only acting like that's because he knows his father and he has never seen him beg and pled the way he had did to get his point across. But Dill was not as excited and confident because he went to sleep. Some might argue that he was excited but him going to sleep had nothing to do with it because Scout was excited and she went to sleep.... And I would say that Scout did go to sleep but she didn't stay sleep long because she was so excited, but Dill didn't wake up at all to the results of the jury, at least the book didn't say that Dill woke up.

    2. Thomesha, i totally agree with you because as I was read pages 279-283 I see Jem was very intersected to stay woke and listen to the trail but as I thought about it I was like awwww he doing this because his father there and he know the outcome of what will happen later that's why he just let Dill go to sleep and Jem was like wide and woke like he was in it he just didn't want anything to back fire on him later on because he know his dad and he know what he will do like they already don't suppose to be there so while u there a least listen and show respect.

    3. I agree with you, but their are lots of similarities between Jem and Dill. Yes Dill was sleep but if you continue reading after the trail when Dill wakes up he is to weeping and mad about the situation. He and Jem knows that the verdict wasn't right and they both know that Atticus did his best to prove Tom Robinson innocents.

  4. I think Jem took the Tom Robinson's Trial a little hard because (Page 282) it states I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the jury: Guilty...guilty...guilty...guilty..." 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. And Dill's reaction well he was sleep (Page 281) it states Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder, and Jem was quiet... So the whole time the trial was going on Dill was sleep so clearly he didn't have a reaction for Tom Robinson Trail..

  5. I can compare and contrast the way that Dill and a Jem responds to the verdict in Tom Robinson's trial is that they both were sleepy because the amount of time they spent in the court room. Also Jem was more into conversations with Reverend Sykes then Dill was. Jem responded the way he did is because he wanted to stay awoke to understand more about the trail. I think Dill responded the way he did because it wasn't really interesting to him. Throughout the story, Jem wants to get a deeper understanding in certain things, maybe this is why he reacted the way he to the Verdict. Also Dill sees things differently then Jem and Scout. He has his own opinion on certain things, this was why he reacted the way he did to the verdict.

    6. I agree with you because Jem and Scout was both sleepy but Jem didn't go to sleep because he knew what his father was going to do so that's the only reason why Jem was wide and woke and pretending like he was into this trail.

    9. I disagree with you Joshua because if we think about it you both have valid points, I'm disagreeing on you saying Jordan was wrong, when really she has a point because in chapter 21 he was portrayed as begging less interested then everyone else or at least Jem. It Wasn't until Chapter 22 when dill showed how angry and Indignant he was. So yes darneshia has a point as well as Jordan they jus don't have the whole story and neither do.

    11. @ Joshua: I agree with you because they both did take it hard but Jem took it more harder than Dill.
      Dill was feeling upset that Mr.Gilmer was treating Tom Robinson that way & Jem was upset that they lost the trial because Jem thought Atticus had won.

      Delete
    12. The only thing I'm saying is that Jem and Dill both took it hard. I feel that Jem had more sympathy for Tom Robinson but no one took it less compassion for the fact that Tom Robinson is innocent, and Atticus made it clear to everyone but they still convict Tom Robinson anyway. Dill is already used to an negative outcome of any situation because of his family troubles, but overall that doesn't proves that Jem cares more about the case, of course he's going to act interested in the case it's his father defending someone.

  6. Compare and contrast the way Dill and Jem respond to the verdict in Tom Robinson's trial. Why do you think each responds in the way that they do? Be sure to bring in elements of what you have learned about both characters throughout your reading of To Kill a Mockingbird.

    The similarities that Jem and Dill reacted to the verdict in the Tom Robinson case was displeasured and dishearten because on page 265 "...Dill had started crying and couldn't stop;..." The reason Dill cried is when he saw how badly the whites was overpowering Tom and Atticus. On page 284 "It was Jem's turn to cry." Jem was crying and because he felt that they verdict was being unfair and he was angry because he saw how Atticus made innocent statements claiming that Tom Robinson was innocent instead of guilty. The differences is that Dill was crying and angry because he saw he Negros get treated in the courthouse and Jem was crying and upset because he saw how Atticus gave a understandable case of how Tom Robinson didn't rape Mayella and how he was innocent but that didn't matter to the verdict because he had power to do what he thought was right and that's defending for Mayella a (white woman).

  7. In Tom Robinson Trail Jem & Dill Was Different Because During The Trial Jem Was Awake & Quite & Dill Was Sound Asleep. In the text it says "Dill Was Sound Asleep, His Head On Jem's Shoulder, And Jem Was Quite." (Pg 281) It's Like Jem Wanted To Listen And He Was Excited But I Don't Think Dill Was Because He Was Sleep He Had No Confident In His Self And To Me I Don't Understand The Fact Why They Are Similar If Dill Was Sleep During The Whole Trail And Jem Was Quite And Only Said Something To Scout, So This Question To Me Was Never Meant To Be. Jem Reacted The Way He Did Because His Father Was There And HeWas Trying Ato Support Him. I Think a The Reason Why a Dill Acted The Way He Did Because He Was Sleep And I Think He a Was Sleep Because He Wasn't a Feeling The Trail He Probably Thought As If It Was Bored.

  8. We'll Dill & Jem have similarities because during the trial they where both mad and Dill really wasn't in it but couldn't wait any longer because they said that. Tom was guilty and he didn't know why but the differences about the two are that Dill went to sleep and wasn't self assured during the trial and Jem was positive that the judge would agree with them on what they said. Also I think they responded they way they did because they where upset and he went out the courtroom crying because he knew that Tom Robinson wasn't guilty so that's why he needed something to settle his stomach after he heard what happened and cried.

  9. As Tom Robinson's verdict is given Dill responds by drifting off to sleep. In the text it says " Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder, and Jem was quiet" (281). This makes me out to believe that Dill was bored, and lacked interest in the current activities. Me knowing from previous chapters that Dill is a boy of action can understand why he would be tired, or bored with the trial. See Dill is from Mississippi so the things that he find interesting such as the picture show ,MayComb doesn't have.the children in MayComb believe that just going to this trail is exciting because there town is old, and boring so this make them out to believe that maybe this trial would bring some excitement,pleasure to there already boring lives. But Dills feels that this is not as exciting as the picture shows he is used to watching and falls asleep.

    But on the other hand Jem reacts to the verdict with tears of pain, and sorrow. In the text it says " it was Jem's turn to cry". Then it says " it ain't right, Atticus," says Jem (284). I can understand why Jem would react like this. From earlier chapter I read I no that Jem is fair so when the verdict was based on information that was not fair I can see why he would react with this fashion.

    Another reason why Jem and Dill are different is because Jem has matured and now doesn't want to play games anymore but get involve in politics and political things such as this trail. Dill is not so involved in this trail and doesn't really understand. This is based off the fact that Dill falls to sleep during the verdict and Jem is impacted a lot by the verdict.

    I have found similar reactions to the way that Jem and Dill responded to the verdict and conclude that their reactions are very different, and unlike.

  10. Dill and Jem response to the verdict is similar because they both think the jury will decide in favor of Tom Robinson because of Atticus Finch speech. In the text it stated(On pg.279) "Don't see how any jury could convict on what we heard." Jem think just because Tom Robinson is black he might have a chance of freedom. In the text it stated(On pg.266) "It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do them that way." Dill doesn't think it's right for Mr.Gilmer to treat Tom Robinson like he's already found guilty because the jury might be in favor of Tom Robinson.
    Dill and Jem response to the verdict is different because Dill was asleep during the trial. In the text it stated(On pg.281) "Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder, and Jem was quiet." In the text it stated(On pg.281) " Jem raised his eyebrows. There are things you don't understand." The Tom Robinson trial is important or symbolic to Jem & he's ready to hear the verdict. I think Dill and Jem response this way because it's their opinion.

  11. The way Jem and Dill react to the verdict in some ways are similar because dill is hurt because he feels that Tom himself wasn't getting a fair chance at proving and fighting the case with all the evidence presented.
    Jem also felt that the court and jury themselves weren't giving an equal chances at winning the case they often over looked the obvious things that could have made Tom innocent and the case winnable for Atticus but they didn't give a fair chance and came up with the a verdict filled with personal feelings of the jury towards Tom

    They are different because Dill starts to cry because he sees that Tom is not having the same fair chance as the Ewells, like when it came to questioning every question Mr. Gilmer asked seemed to try to imply that Tom was guilty because the simple fact he was a black man on trial for being accused of raping a white women. So in a way Dill felt sorry for Tom Robinson because he wasn't being treated properly, and in the story Dill often makes up obscured stories to convey his feelings. So when dill reacted this way towards the verdict he probably felt like he could connect to those feelings of discomfort or inferiority.
    Whilst I think reacted this way because he was disappointed that the verdict didn't turn out the way he intended. In the story Jem was really excited to hear the verdict because he just knew that Atticus was going to win the case and all evidence pointed to that prediction, but when the verdict came back Jem said in so many words I thought we had this one in the bag I was sure we were going to win this showing that he wasn't deeply concerned about the feelings of Tom Robinson like Dill was but only the fact about winning the case

    Dill and Jem responses are similar and different in many ways. Jem react in an more sympathy and angry way, knowing that he's father Atticus put up an well-built argument of Tom Robinson innocents. Jem begins to cry and acknowledge that the verdict wasn't right. In the text it says" and his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each "guilty" was a separate stab between them ( pg.282)."On the other hand Dill was sleep durning the part of the trail when the verdict is deliver. I feel Dill reacts in this way because the trail isn't interesting to him. Dill always tries to entertain other by telling big lies and exaggerating events that possibly happen or hadn't happen. After dills awake he also start to weep and cry about the verdict, because he also know that Tom Robinson is innocent. Dill is an very imaginative character, and his desire for something to happen turns into an lie. He would be one of the character to actually know how it feel to tells a lie and people know your lying. For example when he tell a lie to Scout & Jem and gets them in trouble at the Radley's house. I think both of these character react in the ways they did, because of the situation an innocent black male is going through when he only tried to avoid what happening now.

  13. In the verdict of Tom Robinson's trial Dill and Jem response is different in the text its states on page 281 "Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder, and Jem was quiet". Which means they both was dozing off or going to sleep because Dill sounded like he was sleep and Jem was quite. They was thinking opposite from each other like Scout states "Well, from the way you put it, it'd just take five minutes." Then Jem reply back "There are things you don't understand." So Dill finally went to sleep but Jem was still woke. Then when dill ask the question "Ain't it a long time? That was giving us a sense like he saying like this is very long and it's boring him so he going to just fall asleep. Scout went to sleep and never woke up and Jem was Quite but the didn't go to sleep doing Tom Robinson's trail. Jem was very curious to see what happened he couldn't even go to sleep but Dill wasn't really into it because he felled asleep on the good part. Jem only acted the way he did because of his father and he knew what his father reaction was going to be after the trail but Dill he basically had that attitude like he didn't care he just went to sleep and didn't wake up. The way Dill reacted you could peek that he didn't care or he wasn't in to it like Jem was but I think if Atticus was not in there Jem would have did the same thing Dill did.

  14. During the trial Jem and Dill did not have anything similar. Jem and Dill was different because Dill was asleep and Jem was awoke.On (Page 279) It say that Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem shoulder and Jem was quiet. Also they was different because when Jem heard that Tom Robinson was guilty he he felt it when they was telling Tom Robinson them that he was guilty. On (page 282) Jem hand were white from gripping the balcony rail and his shoulder jerked as if each "guilty" was separate stab between them. knowing That His father built a good argument for Tom Robinson innocent. I felt Dill react like that wat because he was not interesting in the trial. I think these children reacted like the way they did because they feel black innocent men should not have to get in trouble for something they did not do.

    1. On (page 284) "it was Jem turn to cry". Jem starting crying becuase he felt it was not right that Tom Robinson was guilty for something that he did not do. On (page 286) "Dill told them what Miss Rachel said If a man like Atticus Finch wants to butt his head against a stone wall it his head". On (page 285) Atticus said "we not through yet. There will be appeal". He bring up what Miss Rachel said because he knew they was going to still lose no matter what cause Tom Robinson was still a nigga

  15. After Listening To The Verdict In Chapter 21, We get A Better Understanding Of the Way Jem And Dill Reacted. We Learn From previous Chapters That Both Jem And Dill Are Characters Of Action And both Share Mind Blowing Treats Such As Curious, As Well As Bravery With The Moments They Had But If We Think About The Way Both Characters Have been Acting Of Late We Understand Why They Acted The Way they Did After Hearing the Verdict. After Hearing The Verdict And Even before hearing the finalized results of the case dill was sleep. Which Means He Was Bored With The Actions Taking place.

    "Dill was sound asleep, his head on jem's shoulder, and Jem Was Quiet." I Find this awkward because dill is usually the one playing the fearsome role of the town, what I mean by this is he's usually causing action or paying attention to it, in this case he did neither. Which shows he not in to law. That is how he is portrayed in my eyes this chapter.

    Now if we analyze Jem's actions and reactions, we see that he is into the case and everything that happens he takes it to mind as well as heart. He's cautious about the case and aware of everything surrounding it. He focus on the case with passion and after hearing the verdict if we really think about it I feel we would see some Atticus in him. If we briefly go back to other chapters we see the ways Jem has involved as a men and not so much showing boy like mentalities anymore. He showing us a coming of age as well as boy to man visuals. Based in background information from other chapters we see the ways he's stop playing with scout and dill and starts to focus on growing up.

    "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." This shows how he felt and how much he felt the effects of the case. He understand how the case was ran and how the jury decided, he understands fairness and he knows that pity wasn't shown on Tom because he was black. He knows that Atticus and Tom were cheated and he feels Atticus and toms pain.

  16. In contrast, I think Jem took the verdict in Tom's trial more important than Dill. In the text it says, "Dill was sound asleep, his head on Jem's shoulder, and Jem was quiet."(281). I think Dill fell asleep because he was waiting for the verdict to announce if Tom was guilty. In comparison, Jem and Dill were sad about it because in the story it says, "it was Jem's turn to cry. His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. 'It ain't right,'"(284). Both, Dill and Jem was sympathetic about it because It was unfair for the whites to treat Tom like that.

  17. I agree with both you Jordan as well as Sierra but however if you all was to read pages. 284-287, you would see that dill was depressed to. It just wasn't shown in chapter 21. Yes Jem took it more harder but the feeling of cheat and unfairness was the same for both of them.

  18. The way that I can compare Dill is a person that goes to sleep and Jem is a person that be awake . And also the verdict of Tom Robinson's trail Jem and Dill response is different in the passage it states on page , ( 281 ) that the boy name Dill was asleep and his head was on Jem , shoulder and Jem was quiet . I see that Dill like for people to listen to him with his lies . Also after Dill's awake he starts to cry about the verdict , and also Tom Robinson is innocent .

  19. Dill really didn't have any affect to the case of Tom Robinson but jem did because dill was sleep and but after the verdict jem turned into cry and angry on pg.284. my respond I think jem knew why the jury said Tom Robinson was guilty and for jem he believe that black and whites are equal I don't think dill believe in the same thing as jem. comparison dill and jem they both wanted to go see if Tom Robinson was guilty or not but at the verdict they both was quiet by.
