Tom Robinson is dead and it is all my fault. He was being brought into the prison when he ran away from the guards escorting him. They told him to stop but he kept running and they shot him. If I had never lied in court this wouldn't have happened. Yes, my dad may have beaten me, but at least Tom Robinson would still be alive. He didn't deserve any of this. All he wanted to do was try and help me with some of my chores and the way I paid him back was killing him.
I feel even worse because he had a family and children. His wife no longer has a husband and his children no longer have a father to take care of them. How will the rest of the Robinson family get money for food and clothes? I didn't just ruin Tom's life, but I ruined his entire family's as well. If I hadn't been so selfish, none of this would have happened.
