What are quotes that show how Tom Robinson's trial affected Jem and Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee?

Immediately after hearing Tom's guilty verdict, Jem breaks down and continually repeats, "It ain't right" (Lee 284). Witnessing injustice has a negative effect on Jem, and he becomes jaded about the prejudiced community members of Maycomb. Jem says,

It's like bein' a caterpillar in a cocoon, that's what it is...Like somethin' asleep wrapped up in a warm place. I always thought Maycomb folks were the best folks in the world, least that's what they...

Immediately after hearing Tom's guilty verdict, Jem breaks down and continually repeats, "It ain't right" (Lee 284). Witnessing injustice has a negative effect on Jem, and he becomes jaded about the prejudiced community members of Maycomb. Jem says,

It's like bein' a caterpillar in a cocoon, that's what it is...Like somethin' asleep wrapped up in a warm place. I always thought Maycomb folks were the best folks in the world, least that's what they seemed like (Lee 288).

Jem also challenges the court system and tells his father, "No sir, they oughta do away with juries. He wasn't guilty in the first place and they said he was" (Lee 295). As the novel progresses, Jem begins to understand the importance of treating everyone and everything with respect. In Chapter 25, he sees Scout playing with a roly-poly insect and says, "Don't do that, Scout. Set him out on the back steps" (Lee 319). Jem's actions are significant because he begins to sympathize with innocent beings and stand up for them like his father did.

Unlike her brother, Scout maintains a positive outlook towards Maycomb's community but begins to question people's views and notices their hypocrisy. In Chapter 23, Jem tells Scout that he has it all figured out, and describes Maycomb's caste system. Scout disagrees with Jem, saying, "Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks" (Lee 304). Scout's comment reflects her positive attitude toward her community members. In Chapter 26, Scout's teacher, Miss Gates, criticizes Hitler's treatment of the Jews in Europe, but claims there is no prejudice in the United States, dismissing the plight of black people in her community. Scout thinks about Miss Gates' comments and asks her brother, "Jem, how can you hate Hitler so bad an' then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home" (Lee 331). Scout is beginning to understand the dual nature and hypocrisy of her community members. By the end of the novel, Scout has developed into a morally upright individual like her father. Witnessing Tom's trial not only changed the way Scout views her neighbors but also affects the way she views innocent people. In Chapter 30, Scout metaphorically compares Boo Radley to a mockingbird and understands that innocent beings should be treated with respect.
