BLOG #10: What does Atticus mean when he says in Chapter 22, it “seems that only children weep?”

    In Chapter 22, Atticus states that it "seems that only children weep." I believe he means that usually only children have a big enough heart to care for people. He says this after Jem cries because of the unfairness of the trial. Jem, as well as everyone else, know that Tom Robinson is innocent. Yet, Jem appears to be one of the only people who is saddened by this injustice. Atticus probably believes that people forget their morals and values as they get older.
