Tom Robinson gives ____, in itself shocking, since the ____ population did not often have a voice. Tom's evidence is also very ____, telling a very different story to Mayella's, and breaking many ____ of that time. He explains that she had been ____ for him on his way home, and invited him in to help her with a 'creaky ____', having given the other children a ____ each to get some ice cream in town. As he's reaching for something, she takes hold of him, ____ him on the cheek, and asks - ____ - to be kissed back. Only when Magella realises that her ____ has seen all this through the ____ does she begin to ____. Tom heard Mr Ewell say he would ____ her; but he is so terrified of the ____ of being seen with a ____ woman, that he runs for his ____. How can it be fair that his life is at stake because a ____ and abused girl wanted some ____, and sought it in Tom? When Tom has finished answering questions from Atticus, it is the turn of the ____ to question him. Mr Gilmer is rude and ____ towards Tom, calling him '____' to reflect his attitude towards what he sees as an ____ person, simply because he is black. He repeatedly suggests that Tom wouldn't have helped Mayella unless he thought he would get some kind of ____; and when he provokes Tom into saying he '____' for her, he knows this will make the jury very ____. Dill is so ____ by these questions that he feels sick and has to leave the courtroom with Scout, who tells him that Mr Gilmer is only 'doing his ____.' Dill suggests that he doesn't have to be so ____ about it; and through his child's eyes we see the true ____ of how African Americans were treated in 1930s ____ America.
