Atticus' influence

Do you think that Tom would be given the same type of treatment?

Do you think that the trial would have followed the same type of course?

Do you think that Mayella and Bob Ewell would have been treated differently in the court room?

Do you think the trial would have gone ahead? (Think about the lead up to the trial and how Atticus has to sit in front of the jail during the night)

If the trial did go ahead, do you think that the jury would have taken so long to make its decision?

Do you think the people in Maycomb County would have payed so much attention to the trial if Atticus was not defending Tom?

The reward that the hero was given was very valuable. It would allow the hero to continue protecting the less fortunate.

Tom had worked hard, and the effort he had put in to save his city was well worth his effort. He had been rewarded a prise, which was very unexpected. The Town had called a meeting, and as everyone gathered in the town hall. Tom waited nervously for his prise to be rewarded. After a speech of thanks, the town Maier finally presented him with his reward. The town maier, who was tall and skinny man pulled a tiny box out of his poket, and handed it to Tom.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD – WEBSEARCH

Dear Pen Pal, 5/6/34

I am so thankful to have you to write to, you seem to be the only 'white' that cares about me.

Not only are my family and I suffering from poor living conditions, we have to put up with being discriminated. My Mother, Father, two Brothers, and I, live in only a two bedroom house, with no electricity, no appliances, and a small amount of furniture. We cannot leave the house feeling accepted, as we walk down the streets, we get stared at by the 'Whites' and they call out names and make us feel helpless. Mum is full time working for a 'White' family in the higher classed part of town. Dad is also a slave. My brothers and I only see Mum and Dad for a few hours at night before we go off to our stone cold beds. Waking up is the hardest part of the day, because the hardest is still to come. We know we will experience being discriminated again, just like always. My Brothers and I all get very restless at home, and love being able to go out and play in the park, something you would be able to do everyday, but for us, it’s not that easy. The parks are very restricted; most of them have access for 'Whites' only. If we did go to a park where we were allowed, we would only be abused and discriminated, and forced to leave. So whilst we are at home, we play games in the house, but now that my brothers are getting older, they don’t like to play with me as much. My favorite thing to do, is play with my one toy which I have had since I was 3, my doll, which is pretty much fallen apart.

Book Review 4:

I have just finished the book Speckey Magee. It is the last book released in the series so far, so untill the next book is released, i will start reading the book from the series Gossip Girl. I also find this good because i know the caracters, and their back ground. The Book i have is from the first series in the movies. The book is very similar to the tv series, so i can mostley predict what is going to happen. I will have to put this book aside for a while while i start reading our book for english class 'To Kill A Mockingbird' but when i have finished reading this book for class, i will continue to read my Gossip Girl book.

Book Review 3:

I am still in the process of reading Specky Magee. I am really enjoying the book so far, it has a really good story line to it which keeps me really interested, because in most books, i loose interest in them quite quickley. I have almosy finished this book and am looking for a new book to start reading. I am really into the television series 'Gossip Girl' so i was thinking about reading the books to the series as well.
