In , Mr.
Gilmer cross-examines Tom Robinson and clearly reveals his prejudice by referring to Tom as
"boy" and sneering at him. As was mentioned in the previous post, Dill
becomes sick when he sees how Mr. Gilmer is disrespectfully speaking to Tom. In the middle of
the cross-examination, Dill begins to cry.does not get a chance to hear the rest
of Tom's testimony becausemakes her take Dill out of the courtroom. Initially, Scout does not
understand why Dill began to cry and assumes that he is still upset about running away. When the
two finally get outside of the courthouse, they sit down underneath a big oak tree, and Dill
explains to Scout that Mr. Gilmer's hateful attitude towards Tom Robinson made him sick. Dill
noticed that Mr. Gilmer spoke to the white witnesses differently and witnessing the blatant
racism made his stomach hurt.
