When Atticus looses the case you can tell that he is upset. He walks in and Aunt Alexandra can tell that he is upset but he just says that he is tired. Atticus then says that he is going to get an appeal and keep trying. Atticus when talking to Jem says that he knew it was going to be very hard to win the case. He talks about how when it's a white mans word against a black mans that in that time the white man would always win. He also says that any white man that takes advantage of or cheats a black man is trash.

Jem is very upset by the fact that the jury ruled in favor of the Ewell's. When they arrive home after hearing the verdict of the case he begins to cry. He later also goes on to rant about how it was not fair that Tom lost. He gets mad and says that there shouldn't be jurys. He also asks why people like them and Miss Maudie arn't on the jury. He says that the jury can't convict Tom on evidence like "that." He feels very strongly about Tom being convicted of the rape and says many times that this is not a fair scentence.

Bob Ewell is happy that they won the case. He is also very mad though. He is mad at Atticus for defending Tom Robinson and for making him look like a fool in front of the whole town. Bob Ewell seems like he is very scared. He seems like he is scared that Atticus will prove him wrong and prove that he was the one who beat his daughter. Not Tom.

There are many different thoughts from characters on this subject. Some are a lot more sensitive and caring people and others are more harsh. Together it is a balance.
