How does Reverend Sykes help the children see and hear the trial and why do you think he does this?

Reverend Sykes help the children see and hear the trial because he wanted them to see how Atticus is defends Tom Robinson and he is shows them that Atticus was a very good person. I think that reverend Sykes let the kid go up and sit with him because he wanted to let them know that their father give them the rights and treated them with equality. Also how houorable Atticus is towards the African American.

The Reverend helped the children to see and hear the court trial but offering them to go up to the 'Negroes' balcony. Scout, Dill and Jem are then provided with seats as Maycombs social hierarchy come into effect. The reason why Reverend Sykes does this is becuase Atticus has helped the black community of Maycomb meaning he would want to put his gratitude into helping the kids. He would also want Scout, Jem and Dill to understand Atticus's position and contribution to trying to equalise African American rights and the prevention of dicrimination.
