Atticus had told me that he is the lawyer if Tom Robinson, a black man who got accused of raping a white woman. I asked Calpurnia what 'rape' means but she wouldn't tell me. So then I asked my dad and he explained it to me but I still don't fully understand it :$ I guess it is something bad, since Tom Robinson has to go through a trial for it. What is really annoying is that as soon as people found out that my dad is helping him, we started getting these weird looks from people and some even whisper behind our backs. What is wrong with our dad helping that man? He might be innocent after all. I mean, if my dad decided to help him, he is probably sure of his innocence. We'll see what happens next...
