Stop reminding me of the courthouse !

Scout keeps doing things that reminds me of the courthouse ! I want to forget what has happen in that place that I now hate , even though its Atticus' fort.

This prejudice ought to stop, even though Tom Robinson is one of the coloured folks, he should be in a fair trial and not guilty even before he made his stand. Even though if the jury is all white folks and if they pronounce that he innocent, they would be scorned at for taking the side of the coloured people.

They should do what is right and not what is the "decision" of whats right, " a black man's word can't hold against a white man's word. I shall put an end to this prejudice if its the last thing i do!

Shocking ! Hes dead !

When I first heard that Tom Robinson was dead , and the cause of his death was because he climb the fence to escape from jail and got shot to death.

Wonder how would Atticus bring this up to Tom`s wife, hope she would take it in stride. I feel that this incident of prejudice is very wrong as Tom without doubt is innocent and should not be persecuted.

But he chose to try and escape even though he may be cleared of his name. It really was a foolish thing to do from my point of view.

Still , even though he was escaping as an extremely fast speed, they could have shot his legs to stop him. They didn`t have to shoot so many. They were definately shooting to kill him. Can you imagine seventeen bullet holes just piercing through his skin?
