I kind of wonder. Its 's kind of suspicious that the night of November 21st when Tom Robinson "raped" Mayella and beat her. Ewell did not call a doctor immediately. I keep asking him why. A doctor was needed if she was badly beaten. This is just very suspicious.
When Mayella got called up she says that the night of her "rape" . She says that thst night she offered Tom a nickel to break up a dresser for her. Once he got inside the house he grabbed her and took advantage of her. She then admits that she lives with seven useless brothers, an alchaholic father, and that she has no friends. Then that really made me wonder. It made things more suspicious. How come she didn't put up a better fight? How come nobody else listened to her? And most importantly how did Tom Robinson manage the crime? How could he bruse the right side of her face with his useless left hand?
Well of course! Ewell raped and beat Mayella. If he is an alchaholic then of course he could have done that. I shouted that he ahd raped her in the court room. Then he started yelling at me. He said the courtroom would have to be a bunch of cowards if they do not agree that Tom Robinson commited the crime. Mayella started bursting into tears and refused to answer any more questions.
Minutes later I called Tom Robinson up. He starts testyfing that everytime he passes by the Ewell house on the way to work that Mayella would often ask him to do chores for her. On the night of November 21st he says that Mayella asked him to come inside the house and fix a door. He noticed that there was nothing wrong with the door and that the children were gone. He said that Mayella told him she had saved money and sent all the kids to buy ice cream. He said that Mayella asked him to lift a box down from the dresser. Suddenly she hugged his leg. It scared him so much that he jumped down. She then hugged him around the waist and asked him to kiss her. She struggled and suddenly her father appeared at the window. She called her a whore and threatend to kill her. Then Tom left. Suddenly Tom's white employer stands up and syas that all these years hes worked with him he has never had any problems. The judge kicks the guy out because he intterupted.
But it is still clarified that Tom Robinson did commit this crime and that he lied about the whole thing. Is it just because he is black? This is not going to stay like this.

I liked how you agreed with Atticus's arguments during the courtcase and how you gave alot of details about what had happened. I think that next time you should add the character you are in your next blog. Good Job! :]

You did a jood job summarizing the events of the chapter, but your post did not not exactly come from the perspective of one character. Next time add the name of your character and write what they were thinking!
