Chapters: 12-14
Perspective: Tom Robinson
Them Ewells accused me a rape. Well I ain't never raped no one and never will. But it don't make a lick a difference I'm gonna get the chair, they'll light me up. But I ain't afraid to meet God I am however quite pensive and afraid of leaving my wife and chillun with no one to take care of 'em. I don't want 'em going hungry and I don't want my son to be known as the offspring of a criminal negro. I know they gone kill me no matter what but I wanta keep my honor. Amongst all the enemies is a friend, Mr. Atticus Finch. He's truly a man of God. He told me he'd law for me, when I asked him why he'd law for a colored person he said because it was the right thing to do. Well I ain't ever heard anything like that. He's truly a brave man, why defending me has brought the wrath of Maycomb down upon him but he hasn't wavered. He's acquired an infallible sense of moral conviction I ain't ever seen before. It fills my heart with joy to know such white folk exist. A few days back he told me the Reverend had raised money for my wife Helen. It's a nice gesture but ain't no compensation for me being away. They're transferring me to the jail in Maycomb tomorrow. The sheriff said he hoped no riots would emerge.

You did a terrific job using the perspective of Tom Robinson! I like how you used a southern accent with him and how he used slang. Great use of vocabulary words also.
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporated the southern accent. This was an excellent blog! There was nothing I thought needed to be improved.
ReplyDeleteyou even sound like them. all slang and stuff!
