1. Pg.199, I dont care one speck, it ain't right, some how it aint right to do'em that way. I chose this because Dill knows that Tom Robinson is being treated wrong and is being acused wrongly. 2. Pg. 197, You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her. I chose this because Mr.Gilmer thinks that Tom cant feel sorry fore her because hes black. 3. Pg. 183, "Except when he's drinking"? I chose this because atticus nows that Mr.Ewell is a drunk and is abusive when he is drunk. 4. Pg. 201. Cry about the hell white people give colored folks, with out even stopping to think they're people. I chose this because some white people liked blacks and care for them.

1. Describe Mayella Ewell. A: She is the oldest of her siblings, stupid, abused, and had no good manners. 2. Do you think Judge Thompson believes Mayella’s story? A: Yes, because she is a “vulnerable” white female going up against a grown black man. 3. Of the all of the cases the county has seen, why is this one so publicly acknowledged? A: It is so well known because this is a case between two of the towns’ most hated people/ families. 4: Aside from Atticus, Scout, Jem, and the Negros, do you believe anyone else is on Tom’s side. A: Heck Tate and Ms. Maudie 5. Why did Dill cry A: Mr. Gilmer was be so harsh it scared him. 6. Why was it bad of Tom to say he felt sorry for Mayella? A: The Judge and everyone else already do. Also because men take advantage of sad women. 7: Had Link Deas testified against Tom, would he have been forced out of the room? A: Probably not. It seemed like the judge was only looking for reasons against Mr. Robinson. 8; Is it fail to hold the defendants previous misconduct against him. A: No, but in a high pressure court case people go to extreme measures. 9: Do you think the jury had made their jury before the trial had even happen. A: Maybe. It’s easy to assume they would declare him guilty because he was negro but they probably had to change their mind after Atticus’ interviewed the defendant and accuser. 10. How did you react the verdict. A: I was angry but not surprised because this was always the outcome if a negro was involved.

**Connections** __Alaurah__: Text to world and Text to Self- (Text to World) A lot of people go through court being innocent because someone accuses them instead of the real person, or they may fabricate a story to get someone they do not like in trouble. (Text to Self) for example when you hear something on the news you do not understand, like how Scout doesn’t understand the trials, other people might not understand other things. __Jenni:__ __Shea:__ Text to text: Same as Alaurah __Jon__: Text to Text: Read about simular situations. __Jessica __: Text to Text: “Livin’ Life in Paradise
