Who is Mrs Merriweather talking about when she says There are some good but misguided people in this town?
Mrs. Merriweather while at Aunt Alexandra's gathering says this quote. In this quote she is trying to say that Maycomb is filled with people that want to do good, but when they try their sense of good is different from people like Atticus's. This is mostly aimed at the racism in Maycomb. An example of this comes on page 282 when Judge Taylor asks for the jury's verdict they answer with "Guilty ... guilty ... guilty ... guilty..."(Lee 282). This jury believes they did the right thing putting away Tom Robinson due to the fact that he was black. Because of the way they were brought up they thought that all "negroes" were far from law-abiding citizens. This isn't because the men who made up the jury were bad people but simply because they were brought up in a racist town. That is what Mrs. Merriweather meant when she said "I tell you there are some good but misguided people in this town."
Conviction in a sentence?
The word "conviction" has two meanings. The first is an absolute belief in someone of something even though there may be no hard evidence. eg. "I have the conviction that God exists even though I have never seen or heard Him".The other meaning of this word is legalistic. After a trial in a court of law and after a jury's verdict of guilty, a felon is convicted and his sentence is handed by the judge. An example of "conviction" in this sense is, "The man was being tried for murder and the weight of evidence against him was so strong that his conviction was no surprise to anyone."
