Here what can help you come up with the ideas for your task. Because of the setting of the book, both time period and place, it was unlikely that the jury would truly consider the evidence of Tom Robinson's case. In the South at this time period it was common for juries to quickly come to a verdict in cases where the defendant was African American. In the first trial of the Scottsboro Boys -- the real life case on which Harper Lee based her fictional trial -- where there were 9 defendants, the jury only deliberated for two hours before returning a guilty verdict. In Lee's novel, the jury deliberates for about six hours. This is significant because it signals that the jury members must have considered the facts and evidence of the case, which is a small step in the right direction. As Miss Maudie says in chapter 22, "I waited and waited to see you all come down the sidewalk, and as I waited I thought, Atticus Finch won't win, he can't win, but he's the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that. And I thought to myself, we're making a step -- it's just a baby-step, but it's a step."
