In at least 250 words, describe how the author uses point of view to create dramatic tension in the courtroom.

To Kill a Mockingbird

The mood and atmosphere to the trial is really built up over many chapters. Before the trial ever begins we see the bigotry of the town as well as the humanity in a small handful of characters. So, when the trial finally takes place the mood and atmosphere is tense with a touch of sombre resignation. I say this because deep down the reader, like Atticus, knows that the trial will not go well. The jury is made up of a bunch of older white men who cannot see past their set ways. The court is full of people, "We knew there was a crowd, but we had not bargained for the multitudes in the first-floor hallway". The blacks and the whites are segregated and Scout and Jem get to sit in the black section. Lee sets the symbolism and the tone for the trial perfectly.

Answer:

Tone

Explanation:

Chapter 21 is the climax of the novel. Throughout the chapter, we can realize that the people in the courtroom were very tired and exhausted because of narrator's tone; it was all going in slow motion, and she was describing things asleep. However, when the time of the verdict came, everyone was nervous. At the end of the chapter, we get to know that the defendant was guilty because Scout said that when the defendant is guilty the jury would never look at him/her.
