In chapter 20 of To Kill a Mockingbird, the trial of Tom Robinson continues with the prosecution's closing arguments. Mr. Gilmer, the prosecutor, delivers a passionate speech filled with racist rhetoric and emphasizing the supposed superiority of white people. He tries to convince the jury that Tom Robinson, a black man, is guilty solely based on the color of his skin. Atticus Finch, the defense lawyer, follows with his own closing statement, delivering a logical and persuasive argument that challenges the stereotypes and prejudices ingrained in the minds of the jury. Atticus emphasizes the importance of fairness and equal treatment before the law, urging the jury to set aside their biases and make an unbiased decision based on the evidence presented.
