The symbolism of the courthouse can be seen in the pillars holding up the courthouse its self. For example, on p.179, we read ‘The Maycomb County court-house was reminiscent in one respect,the concrete pillars is supporting its south roof were too heavy for their burden.’ This tells me that the who made the building was not good at making builders because they made the pillars stronger than the actuarial building. ‘when the building burnt down they built one around it in 1865.’ During the 1865 times was the american civil war and all that remained from the building was the pillars symbolise the burden the civalo was symboliase the black people fighting for their rights,there was also was a rusty,unreliable because they wanted to be connected to the slavery.

You have a good description but I feel as though you could have made better points about the columns and such.
