People of all gender, races and ethnicity seek for justice. This is why judicial courts exist. When people or organizations feel like they have been treated unfairly, they go to the court to get the issue resolved. In theory, courts are places that will give people the justice or the punishment they deserve, but theories are ideal. Even in courts, there is may be injustice, sometimes, sue to mistaken judgments, but other times because of a biased jury. In To Kill a Mocking Bird, Tom Robinson did not get the justice he deserved. Atticus had provided convincing proof that Tom did not rape Miss Ewell, but because of the long history of racial difference, Tom was still trialed as guilty. During the time period of the story, African Americans were commonly treated as inferiors. To the white people, the African Americans could not be trusted and are usually hated. In Tim’s case, he wasn’t only fighting for his justice, but also the dignity of his race. Even though he lost the case and was later killed because he tried to escape, his case taught Jem, Scout and Dill an important lesson. Even though is seemed as though nothing has changed in the minds of the white people in the community, it is one tiny step towards justice.
