Tom Robinson's trial was doomed from the start but Atticus believed he had hope.  There was hope until he admitted his mistake for "feeling bad for a white woman."  After that his trial was completely over without question he was going to be guilty.  He wasn't guilty because he was actually guilty, it was because of  the town and how racist they are when a black man takes the stand he is automaticly guilty.  This illistrates the town by a white dominate place where there is no hope for an Afican American.

I think that the book is divided into two parts because in the begginning to me it was all about Scout and Jem and their life as children fooling around and obsessing over stupid things like Boo Radley and the Radley house.  Part two is seriously detailing Tom Robinson and his problem of being wrongly accused of raping a  white woman.
