I agree that it is a extreem problem in todays society to just mindlessly go with the flow of things. Also to follow whatever it is the leaders say, just because we mindlessly vote them into office because thats what every other fish in the sea is saying is right.

If we dont change this problem and in  a sense rebel against the leaders who influence us into doin what they want. If we dont as a society then we all be thinking alike and there will be no creativness and we will be a colorless, bland society of robots!

At work sometimes i feel that im just following what the Boss says mindlessly, but thats because my job must be done correct and if its not, down to the last little packet of sugar on the table, i could get fired, or the restaraunt could be sued.

I feel that in the trial the teams would have seemed unfair at the beginning, and that it was a one sided fight for the dead team.

But both teams worked hard and did alot of research, and in the end it all paid off.

The open debates were my personal favorites, and i think that both teams really put alot of effort into them, and they were trully fighting for their case and to prove their points!

 Both teams worked super hard, but in the end there had to be one wining side, and the Alive team took the win and proved through wittnesses and debates that the American zDream is clearly ALIVE!

In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson, the accused rapist black man, and Mayella Ewell the ”raped” young white woman, are alike and different in many ways.

The first outstanding similarity is that they are both outkasts. Tom is an outkast because he is black, and Mayella is an outkast not only from the blacks because she is white, but also from the other white folks in town because she is a Ewell. And on top of that, they are both taken advantage of. Tom by the white people he works for, and Mayella by her dad sexually. Also she claimes that Tom raped her, and even though Atticus proved that this wasnt true, the jury rules against him because he is black.

However, they are unalike in many ways also. The most obviouse is that he is black, and she is white. Aside from that, she is an outkast from her own race, and in Toms culture he isnt an outkast, he is accepted and loved. Even though he is accused of this hanus crime, his people still love, respect and care for him. Another dissimilarity in them is that Tom is honest, and Myella is a liar, and she is only doing this to hide her own shame and discrace to try to preserve any respect that her family has left in the town.

 So, the accused, and the accuser are both alike in many ways, but are also different in as many ways. Both outkasts from another, and both frowned uppon. However, one is a liar, and one is honest. Those two traits go to the opposite of what their town believes it is.

     I think that Scouts actions in chapter 15 are pretty realistic for one main reason.  That  is that if you knew the man you were about to kill, and then his little daughter came and knew who you were, but was oblivious to what was going on,  anyone with a heart would not follow through with their intentions.
My one main  reason is supported by the fact that unless the guy was a totally heartless murderer, the sight of a young child  that you know personally would dissuade any man from following through with his intentions of murdering  his  victim. Aside from the fact that Scout brings up the fact that without Atticus, Mr Cunningham Would have been in some kinda trouble.

So, what I have said should prove my POINT OF VIEW  as to why I think that Scouts actions were realistic and not  just a  wishfull writing by Harper Lee.
