Fix You (Chapters 21-25)
The song I chose for chapters 21-25 is “Fix You” by Coldplay. I thought that this song was really appropriate for more than just the unjust and brutal death of Tom Robinson, but also Atticus’ attempts to convince an obstinate jury and Jem who now feels as if all of Maycomb’s citizens are cruel for sending an innocent man to death. The song, “Fix You”, is a song dedicated to the people who become broken after enduring such trials. Tom Robinson is an innocent black man that is being sent to death and is later brutally killed after seventeen shots after being convicted by a jury that refuses to let a black man win. Atticus is a man that finds himself in the impossible task of convincing said jury to rule in favor of a black man. Jem is just a boy who now realizes how the world really is, a harsh reality to face for such a young person. I think these trials each of the characters face makes them stronger in the end and they have a new strength after overcoming each hurdle.
