Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Dear Reader,
The theme of this project is to follow the law: Innocent until
proven guilty. In other words, do not judge a book by its cover. In
the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, for example, a respectable man,
Tom Robinson, is accused for rape, and received a guilty verdict
due to the fact that Tom was African American. He was not proven
guilty. In fact, the man’s lawyer, Atticus Finch, presented an
excellent case, and if the accused was a white citizen, he
probably would have been a free man. I chose this theme
because I believe strongly in this law, and others should too.

Arthur “Boo” Radley is a main character in Harper Lee’s To
Kill A Mockingbird. Though Arthur stayed very isolated at his
house due to the cruelness of his father, he played an important
role in the classic book’s story line. He dominated much of Jem’s
and Scout’s imaginations. Jem and Scout were two other very
important roles in the book. Arthur Radley maintained a quiet,
unseen and even creepy personality that made people of
Maycomb, Alabama frightened of him. Arthur is seen by Jem and
Scout for the first and last time at the end of the book in an
action-filled scene. Jem, Scout, and their family would never
forget Arthur’s favor during this hectic scene.
Dear Diary,
Today I witnessed a heart wrenching case about a convicted
negro, Tom Robinson, who was accused of raping Miss Mayella
Ewell. My daddy defended Tom, and the nearby negro community
was thankful for this. However, it was all for not. Daddy didn’t win
the case because Miss Mayella is a white lying brat that wouldn’t
fess up to the fact that her daddy, Mr. Bob Ewell was the one who
beat her. People like that make me sick, but what’s done is done,
and I will be back to write more tomorrow.
In the anxious courtroom
Sat Whites and Negros
With a Colored balcony
Like a veranda
The jury of farmers
to the left
Under long windows
Not the first time they met
A judge with no care
Sat with propped feet
Constantly convicting
ready for his next meet

My favorite part about this class was reading To Kill A
Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I enjoyed reading it to use up class
time. I liked the story and would recommend it to anyone. My least
favorite part about this class was doing all the grammar
worksheets. I know they were necessary but I would have done
fine without so many. However, I think that my strongest point in
this class was the grammar, because I got so many good grades
on grammar worksheets. My weakest point in this class was
probably presenting projects. I think there were several positive
impacts on me in this class. I liked my teacher and learned lots of
things.
