The author of the book ‘to kill a mockingbird’ (Harper Lee) uses satire in this book to show the distant reader what the white community of Maycomb thinks of the events that take place in that book. Soon after the trial there is an array of gossip engulfing the townspeople and there is a partition between the groups and families of people. At the start of chapter 22 the main antagonists and youth of Maycomb feel very emotional on how the trial was played out as Jem begins to cry in  anger because him and his comrades feel so angry that the adults could be so ignorant to not see how plain simple it was to understand that Tom Robinson was innocent. Further on in the chapter Dill explains how he would grow up to become a Clown and laugh at how stupid Adults could be.”There aint one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so im gonna join the circus and laugh my head off “. So this extract from the book shows how the naive yet inexperienced children understand the situation from a fresh perspective and are in disgust with how the adult people dealt with the case when Atticus had given valid and thorough information towards the court case. The Black community however are very thankful and believed that they had all been in debt to Atticus as he would of only at the time been a lawyer that would of fought for Mr Robinson’s case and this was not an easy thing to do because the white community do not like how Atticus stood up for the “Negro”.
