Chapter 20
Dolphus Raymond has always been known as the town drunk. You can always find him drinking something out of a paper bag. Dill and I went outside when Atticus made us leave the trail. Mr. Raymond came up to us and gave Dill a sip of his drink since he was thirsty. Inside the paper bag Mr. Raymond pulled out a Coca Cola bottle. Mr. Dolphus Raymond is not a drunk, he just wants people to think he is. Which seems kind of silly to me. He said that everyone talks about him anyway, so he'd give them something to talk about.
When I returned inside the court house Atticus was summing everything up and giving all the facts to the jury. Atticus said something that really made sense too. He said that a man should not be considered a liar or immoral just because he is black. Each jury should do what they think is right, everyone should. But it's never that way is it? Tom was convicted, mainly just because of the color of his skin.
