When people's credo changes there has to be something or someone that affected them to make them change their credo. For example someone can be affected emotionally in their lives that will change in how they believe in something or someone. A good example of this is Jem Finch whose credo changes throughout the book, and while he starts to mature and after the case of Tom Robinson who lost his case just for being black. Imagine going through a case that you were innocent of and being accused just because of your skin. Well Jem’s credo changed after the trial of Tom Robinson. After the trial Jem goes home and is mad about the case and says “It's not fair that he lost the case because of that, it's not fair!” what he means is that the jury was racist against Tom even though they knew he was innocent and just accused him of his skin color, which Jem thought was not fair and that nobody should be treated like that. …show more content…
So Jem is frustrated about the jury and the townspeople of how racist they are.

When Jem was little he would always call black people “Nigers” and his father told him to stop and he said “why should I stop if that's what they are.” Which means that when he was little Jem had no idea of racism but once he grows up he opens his eyes and starts to see and realize racism as a problem in his town. In conclusion Jem finally understands racism and why his father would tell him to stop calling people “nigers.” So how would you feel if you were convicted of something you didn't do just because of your skin
