TKAM Part 2 Journals **Option: 1** The much anticipated Tom Robison Case is finally about to begin. Mr. Heck Tate will open the trial with his testimony. Here we go… The news stated by Tate was expected; he said that Tom had raped Mayella. This was no surprised to Atticus who looked for more information from Bob Ewell. __Again,__ he got the same story Bob watched from a window as Mr. Robinson raped Mayella. Atticus still went on, trying to prove his case that Bob is the one who beat Mayella and Tom was innocent. He was able to prove that Bob is left handed, took, which would help Atticus’s case. This would instill the guiltiness of Bob in the mind of the jurors. With no marks on her face Mayella took the stand. She began to cry when it was Atticus’ turn to ask the questions. __Accordingly,__ Atticus promised not to make her out to be left handed. He did however want her lying to stop. Atticus proved that Tom could not beat and hold her at the same time because he had one bad arm, his left one. Mayella stepped down off the stand and the courtroom broke into a small recess. Dear Author of Maycomb Times (responds to Trueman) Mr. Atticus Finch is a strong spirited man who will not break under the pressure of others. This incident is evidence that he will stay strong in his beliefs. I strongly agree with what you have to say about Mr. Finch. He is a man of courage and bravery, and will not let others intimidate him into doing something he does not believe in. I have known Mr. Finch for quite some time now, and I have never seen him succumb to the pressure of others, not once. If Mr. Finch believes that Tom Robinson is innocent, he will go to the ends of the world to prove it, without a worry of what other people might think of him. I believe that Mr. Finch does not have a breaking point in his morals, and will stay strong, not giving into what others may want. Sincerely, Anonymous To describe chapters 12 through 13 in one word, that word would be “improvement.” This is shown many times throughout these chapters. Throughout this section, Scout improves her knowledge by learning about the world. When Aunt Alexandra moves into the house, she tells Scout that as she grows, her behavior must mature throughout the years. “She asked me to tell you you must try to behave like the little lady and gentleman that you are. She wants to talk to you about the family and what it’s meant to Maycomb County through the years, so you’ll have some idea of who you are, so you might be moved to behave accordingly,” (Lee 178). Dear Scout, Aunt Alexandra is nuts and her tactics, her beliefs are completely senseless, and dad knows it also which is why he is not firing Calpurnia, All you got to do is continue to be strong and don’t let her words get under your skin because it will only lead more anger and aggravation. So saying sly remarks to Aunt Alexandra, although it might make you feel good for a little while, it will be worse in the long run. Dad is in a pressure now because he is the only one defending what is right in Maycomb. Atticus knows when to draw the line with Alexandria so don’t mind her. Like I’ve said before, Atticus is going to need his personal space as the trail gets near, so try not to aggravate him or to make him angry, like sneaking out of the house late at night to follow him into town, or even speaking out of turn, because remember you are a young lady and that’s type of behavior is unacceptable. Knowing you, I have a feeling that you’re going to sneak to the courthouse on the day of the trial; but, remember what I said to you about not letting your emotions get the best of you, and at all times remain conscious of your actions. Sincerely, Matt (Response to Harrison) Thank you for your advice that you have given me. I greatly appreciate it. I will try to remember your words because it will help me in my struggle to find out who people really are. I need to realize that people need to act differently around certain people in order to fit in, or certain things in their life make them act a certain way that I’m not used to seeing in them. I should learn to accept people no matter how different they may seem to be, or how different they may act when amongst other people. People’s cultures may me different than ours here in America, but I must learn to accept these differences. Once again I thank you.
