What earlier events is scout thinking of as she waits for the verdict?

Answer 1

If a lot of people focus on one thing they can accomplish great things
They are similar because for both, Scout and Jem are waiting and do not know what will happen.
She looks back remembering her dad (Atticus) shooting the sick dog.

Answer 2

The jury didn't look at Tom Robinson as they walked back into the room. If the jury makes eye contact with the defendant, then most likely they aren't guilty, but if the the jury doesn't make eye contact with the defendant, they feel guilty for convicting the man and don't look at him.

i think is this line from the book "I jerked awake and made an honest effort to remain so, by looking down and concentrating on the heads below: there were sixteen bald ones, fourteen men that could pass for redheads, forty heads varying between brown and black, and-I remembered something Jem had once explained to me when he went through a brief period of psychical research: he said if enough people-a stadium full, maybe-were to concentrate on one thing, such as setting a tree afire in the woods, that the tree would ignite of its own accord. I toyed with the idea of asking everyone below to concentrate on setting Tom Robinson free, but thought if they were as tired as I, it wouldn't work."

She knows because a jury never looks at a defendant. The broader implication of the jury's behavior is that they won't look a Tom because they know he is innocent and is being convicted to his death.

Scout knows the verdict already because a jury never looks at a defendant it has convicted. The broader implication is that they can't look at Tom because they know he is innocent and just convicted him to his death.

She noticed that none of the Jury members looked at Tom. Through prior cases she had observed that Juries would not look at someone they had convicted.

W ith a father in law, scout has already learned many things about the way a courtroom works both lawfully and psyciatrically (what subconcious body language means). She knows that a jury, upon their return, will never turn and look at a suspect they have convicted. As the jury for Tom's case emerges, she sees that not a single one turns to look at Tom, alerting her that they have found him guilty.

The jury never looks at a man they have convicted. Scout noticed that the 12 men didn't look.

Scout knows the answer before its read because Atticus told her that the jury never looks at the guilty party, and she noticed that the jury wasn't looking at Tom.

Answer 4

Scout recalls moments from the trial, interactions with neighbors, and conversations with Atticus about empathy and racial inequality as she reflects on the events leading up to the verdict. The memories evoke a mix of fear, curiosity, and a growing awareness of the complexities of racism and justice in Maycomb.
