the book that changed my life........

the book has showed me that even if convicted some people can be innocent. the book shows that even though tom robibson is innocent he gets convicted. it also shows racism the way the guard shot him 17 times instead of once just to injure him. the book has also shown me different ways of speaking down south... in that time. it has a very large vocabulary and doesnt repeat itself. this book doesnt let you see what is coming. it masks it until its there and your shocked by the outcome.

the book hasnt reallly influenced me much. it has taught me to respect the little things. and not pick on people. its also taught me to respect the "moockingbird" in many of life storys i will come to have.

life essons of jem and scout

together jem and scout have learned many life lessons from the adults in there life, and some adults have learned from them. one of the many lessons that jem and scout have learned is about a racist community. when Tom Robinson gets accused for raping mayella ewell its his word against two white peoples word so he really has no chance.then when he said that he felt sorry for mayella he was scrutinized for being so "ignorant" to feel sorry for a white person.they learn that even hard working respectable men are treated unfairly. when tom tries to run away because he doesn't think he has a chance he is treated with racism "...17 holes in him. they didn't have to shoot him that much cal.", if it were a write person they wold shot him to injure not for the sport.



i have learned lots of storeys from my elders but not much in the way of this case. i have heard of a couple storeys from other people though. like prosecutors prosecuting a suspect for hours on end then the next day telling the prosecutor that they had a dream that they committed the crime. then the prosecuter turns that meager evidence against them and they get charged with a crime they didnt commit.

theme...

i think the main theme in the book is segregation. tom robinson got framed for raping mayella becaues hes black. when really her father beat her for falling in love with tom. evenif no one had beat her they could have claimed to have been beaten by a black man and right then and there the black man would have lost the case.

i think tom robinson is the mocking bird of the story. he is innocent and does nothing but help other people. but when he tries to be a good man and not have an affair with miss mayella she claims that he raped her and now he might lose the case but he has atticus on his side,

atticus

atticus is a wise and trusting father but he is old and does not do what most of the other fathers do. he is fair like when he gives the children air rifles he tells them "... dont shoot them in the house....". he teaches his children to be fair and respectful.

atticus is awesomehe gave his kids air rifles! and he lets the them shoot blue jays! on the other hand he isnt around that much. and he is older. id rather have my dad because he s home alot more and im buying his car so ya!
