August On a night in August, Tom Robinson allegedly sexually assaulted Ms. Mayella. The facts are that everyone knows is Tom would always walk by that house everyday when he went back to the field. What we do not know is if he helped her everyday or not, Tom says in court that Ms. Mayella would always call him over to help her with chores, cutting up tinder and many regular chores. Ms. Mayella had a completely different story, she said that she only called him over that one time to ask for him to take something of a high point which she could not reach. According to Tom when he was doing this Mayella wrapped her arms around Tom and then proceeded to kiss him on the lips. He quotes Mayella saying “I’ve never kissed a grown man before, I might as well kiss a black man.” Mayella says something completely different, she says that she was hit numerous times by Tom and she got a perfect view of his face while he was doing hit. Another fact is that Tom is not at all able to use his left hand. When he was young he lost all control to the muscles in that hand. There is proof that she was beaten by 2 …show more content…
All pointing towards a black man Tom Robinson, and of course the society thinks the same “Oh it’s a black man! Of course he is indeed guilty!” Yeah well thats disgusting, what really happened is that Mayella was beaten by her own father and she is covering it up for him! Tom is obviously innocent, but again society these days has no respect for black peoples. She says Tom beat her right in front of her face! The real evidence is Tom can not use his left hand, when he was younger he lost all muscle in a horrible incident. The evidence shows that someone used both hands to beat Mayella! Now how is possible? Gosh darn it Mayella’s father beat her! She is just a little brat who doesn’t want to get her father in trouble. This whole event is just disgusting in my opinion, and I hope some of you other white people believe this

The main characters aren’t the only ones who contribute to the innocent perspective of Maycomb. Dill, the best friend of both Scout and Jem uses his emotions and past experiences to relate to the hatred black people like Tom Robinson face on a daily basis. During the Tom Robinson trial, Dill gets upset over the way Tom is treated by Mr. Gilmer: “This was as much as I heard of Mr. Gilmer’s cross examination, because Jem made me take DIll out. For some reason DIll had started crying and couldn’t stop; quietly at first, then his sobs were heard by several people in the balcony” (Lee 265). Dill later tells us that he didn’t appreciate Mr. Gilmer’s attitude toward Tom Robinson.
Joining an online course isn’t the easiest thing in the world to complete just like completing college isn’t easy. But there are people out there that are very much ready to do both, like Hugh Gallagher the man who wrote a parody that became huge throughout the nation. With this parody Gallagher shows that he has a brilliant mind and a huge imagination. Therefor I think Gallagher is a good applicant for online courses because he is creative and different than many other college students. Gallagher wanted to be different and stand out rather than being normal and the same.
I completely agree with you that Tom Robinson in no way could have choked, punched, and raped a girl at the same time. With one hand that would be impossible to do all at the same time without Mayella being able to get away. If you think about it Robinson would have to have quite a rhythm in order to actually accomplish it, but if Mayella really was thrashing about he could not have gotten into a rhythm. Robinson’s movements would have gotten clunky and Mayella’s kicking and thrashing should have been able to get her free during a time when Robinson had no hold on her. This means Mayella’s story should have been really different.
Thrilling, mysterious, and psychotic are all the words to describe the ABC’s new show, “The Family”. As most dramas and thrillers may have it, the show centers around finding the kidnapper of Adam Warren; the child that has returned home after ten years of disappearance. The two main questions to be asked throughout the show is: “Who truly is the kidnapper?” and “Is this really Adam Warren?” These questions can be answered when the show airs at nine eight central on ABC, channel seven.
Discovering One’s Self Through Jesus of Suburbia The things that happen to teenagers can be detrimental to their discovering of who they truly are.

Though it might sound superficial and most of us don 't like to admit it, traveling abroad is the perfect excuse to shop. It 's a feeling that whatever you purchase you will be unable to find back home because it is one of a kind and unique to its country of origin (and the classic mind trick also helps when prices look a lot lower because you conveniently forget to convert the currency. Why do math on vacation?). Whatever your excuse, a vacation simply compels one to shop.
Then some people thought that Tom was innocent but the judge decided to make Tom go to prison. In the book it said that Mayella hugged and kissed Tom on the cheek. From this I can infer that Mayella is desperate and can get away with this because Tom Robinson is a black person. This reminds me of a couple southern movies I’ve watched where black people are always the first to suspect because of their color. Tom Robinson on trial for his life said Bob Ewell yelled “whore I’ll kill you” when he saw Mayella kiss Tom from the window.
People are more likely to be interested in comedy than hard-pressing issues, but they are not mutually exclusive. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is very comedic book but hidden behind the jokes Adams uses the book to discuss serious issues. This hooks the reader in as they expect to have a good time while subtly making the reader aware of the problems society has and in many ways Adams uses the satire make the problems relatable and fun. Douglas Adams critique of society is demonstrated through the satire of the Vogons unnecessary violence and destruction, the incompetence of Zaphod Beeblebrox, and the luxury of Magrathea. The Vogon's exaggerated need for destruction and paperwork pokes fun at the power and selfishness of companies and
Throughout the novel, If Beale Street Could Talk, written by James Baldwin, there is a common theme of corruption of the police and the racism against African-Americans in the criminal justice system. The main character Fonny, is accused multiple times of crimes he did not commit and because of this, his fate cannot be determined and he slowly loses hope for himself. The way that Baldwin writes this novel shows how much African-Americans suffered even after the civil rights movements in America. Fonny is wrongfully arrested and charged with rape as a result of the corruption of the police. For example, he was not even in the same area as where the rape was supposedly committed and when they did the police lineup he was the only African-American, which proves that there was
First, she had to make up a story about Tom Robinson because she had kissed a black man, which was frowned upon for a white woman to do. “She was white and she tempted a Negro. She did something that in our society in unspeakable: she kissed a black man”(272). Mayella is also used as an example when she convinces the jury to convict an innocent black man because of Southern Womanhood. “That n***** took advantage of me, an’ if you fine fancy gentlemen don’t wanna do nothin’ about it then you’re all yellow stinkin’ cowards, stinkin’ cowards, the lot of you”(251).
Summer Heights High is a mockumentary show, directed by Chris Lilly. It was filmed in a Brighton Secondary College in Australia, aired on Australia’s ABC TV in September 2007. It’s played by three main characters over the course of a term: Jonah, Jamie and Mr. G. These characters are stereotyped to create funny content of themselves to encourage people not to behave that way. It labels the inappropriate content of words, used by a number of swearing and bullying that was nevertheless to make fun their behavior.
No medical evidence was ever collected or shown to prove that the crime ever took place. On the night after the assault, Mayella Ewell was never seen be a doctor. She was never examined to prove that Tom Robinson did anything to her. Mayella stated that she was beaten that night, so she should have gone to the doctor to get checked out. There is no proof of any crime, so there should not have been a guilty verdict.
