10 questions

If I was Atticus Finch and I was given a second chance at questioning one of the people involved with the Tom Robinson case, I would choose to Question Mayella Ewell. I would question Mayella becasue she is the weakest length she cant lie very well and when she gets nervous she starts to cry. The 10 questions I would ask her would be:

1) What happened on the night of November 21st? 
- I would ask this question becasue i would want to see how she says it, and who/what she looks at when she says it.

2) What did you do when you realized Tom Robinson was taking advantage of you?
- I would want to get a better understanding about how the "victim" reacted.

3) What did Tom do when you started ....... (however she said she reacted)
- So i could see her body language when she tried telling me what happened

4) How long did it take for your father to come and run Tom off?
- To see if she can tell me herself or if she looks to her father for an answer

5) What happened emidiately after your father found you?
- to see if there is any hesitation when she tells me

6) Why didnt you call a doctor?
- to find out why they never called a doctor

7) Mayella, has your father ever hit you sober or drunk?
- Because there were bruises on her right side and her fatrher is left handed

8) Where were the other children?
-they couldve gotten there quicker and wouldve heard her screams before her father did

9) Tell me again, what happened on the night of November 21st?
-So i could see if she changed her story any

10) Why didnt you call a doctor, again?
- to see if she changed her story at all

"Nice job Noah. I thought scout showed a lot of bravery too."

Bravery and Courage

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird there are some examples of bravery and courage. In my opinion being brave is when you overcome a fear, or stand up for something you believe in, and having courage means you believe in yourself, instead of giving up you keep pushing and tell yourself you can do it. I believe Atticus is the bravest character in the book so far. Although people in Maycomb county call him a "nigger lover" and think poorly of him, he still stands up for what he believes is right. I admire my mother, because to me she is the bravest person i know. She got pregnant at 17, although she dropped out of school as a junior, she has had a steady job ever since. She went back to school to get her GED, and eventually became and LPN. I am very proud of my mom for what she has accomplished. It shows me that no matter how bad a situation is, you can always make it better if you have the right mind set and you actually want to become something.
