5. Choose three quotes from chapter 17. Explain the context of each, the characters involved, and their relevance for the story, themes and overall message of the novel.

-"Mr Gilmer and Atticus exchanged glances. Atticus was sitting down again, his fist rested on his cheek and we could not see his face". In this quote we can see the situation that involves the trial. Atticus at the beginning knows that its almost impossible to win the trial. Therefore he fight up to the end.

-"Mr Finch know you are here? This ain't fit for Miss Jean Louise or you boys either". Describes the situation in the balcony, The boys were there at the trial, and Reverend Sykes asked them if Atticus know if they are there. Why he asked that? Because the trial theme was a very strong theme, and maybe Atticus didn´t want that his boys listen to.

-"All the spectators were as relaxed as Judge Taylor, except Jem". Jem felt excited about see his father in action, Also because he knew that the possibilities of winning were almost 0. A lot of emotions might passed in Jem's mind.
