How Much Better Can This Book Get?

We just read a good part today. Who actually believes that Tom went into an ignorant white persons home, and raped a woman if he knows he would get in trouble for it. Tom is already married, and has children. I think that the Ewell's are making all of this up. We have some proof that Tom may be innocent.
Atticus is a good man, and also a good lawyer. Atticus is very sly with his thinking, and the way he questions. He made Heck Tate say what side the injuries were on like five times, and I was laughing. I thought that Atticus was just asking questions to ask questions. He was like a old partially deaf man, and made everyone repeat everything. Then Mr. Boyle made us punch our neighbor in the right eye wit our right hand, and it felt totally wierd. I wonder how much Atticus had to think about that if ever, and if anyone ever got it. Atticus is a sly man very sly. I hope that in the mock trial, I could be that smooth, and sly, but it takes a grind to be like Atticus.
There was one time that I told a really big lie, and kept on building on to it. It was a horrible feeling, and when the person found out the truth, I was in trouble, and I felt terribly guilty. The feeling of lying, and building on to it is overwhelming. That is problem how Heck Tate feels, and Bob, and Mayella. They most likely made up this whole deal, and are just building on to it, and Atticus is digging up the buried truth, and proving that Tom is truly innocent. I think that Atticus is the correct one, and that maybe Tom is truly innocent. I am so glad that we know about the law, otherwise this whole deal would be SUPER confusing. Will Atticus win, or will Tom be killed. We will have to see.

  1. I agree with you that Atticus works and tries very hard in this case, and he's is a good lawyer. I also believe that the witnesses are lying excluding Heck Tate because he has no connection with the Ewells at all. He is just a sheriff. I hope Atticus will win and the Ewells will deserve all the things they have done to Tom and his family. This is a great post and great picture.
