Atticus' influence

Do you think that Tom would be given the same type of treatment?

Do you think that the trial would have followed the same type of course?

Do you think that Mayella and Bob Ewell would have been treated differently in the court room?

Do you think the trial would have gone ahead? (Think about the lead up to the trial and how Atticus has to sit in front of the jail during the night)

If the trial did go ahead, do you think that the jury would have taken so long to make its decision?

Do you think the people in Maycomb County would have payed so much attention to the trial if Atticus was not defending Tom?
