Mr. Gilmer.

In chapter 19 where learned a couple new  things. first off when mr. Gilmer was interrogating Tom Robinson he was not bringing the nicest to him. He kept calling him “ boy” as if he was not an adult. Tom Robinson was very nice and polite and every time you would respond she would say sir. That is respectable thing however mr. Gilmer did not do that. Done Scout and Dill go outside of the court because still starts to cry. Scott them ask him why he started crying. Dill says that the way he was treating Tom was very sad. That mr. Dolphus comes in  tell the children that it makes them sick too. Then it'll still to take a sip of his” whiskey.” Don't accept and let me learn that it's not whiskey it's actually Coca-Cola.


The sign that deal starts crying telling us that he still has some sort of childhood innocence. It shows that he cares and shows emotion unlike some of the adults inside of the courtroom there are just playing it off. They are not saying anything or reacting to it. Now what I think Dill did was amazing. Share showing emotion and knowing that this is wrong. It is wrong to judge someone and not knowing what they are like on the inside. That is what everyone is doing and judging them by the skin color. I like these other adults act and Dill actually have some meaning.
