They sit with rev.Sykes and the black people in the balcony. This really shows where their values are. It shows that they side with Tom Robinson and believe in their father.

What is Miss Maudie's reaction to everyone wanting to go to the trail?

nothing

She thinks its morbid to watch a poor devil on trial for his life

They sat in the black section in the courthouse. Next to Rev.Sykes. This is significant because it shows how Atticus raised them and that their not going to be apart of segregation.

It is significant that the children sat with Reverend Sykes in the coloured balcony because it shows their values and their faith in their father and that they believe Tom Robinson was right and did nothing wrong.

This symbolises that all the childern are segregated(separated or pushed away).They are pushed away because they are different from the commmunity in a sense that they are not part of racists.Seating with black people indicates that Attius's moral lesson of justice and treating people equally regardless their skin colour,social status and physical well being is well aquired by the children.
