Prompt A

Most people in Maycomb thought that it would be wrong if Tom Robinson won the trial. It was obvious that he didn't do anything. But since he is black they voted against him. I think that if the people were not racist, Tom would not have been convicted. I have had a similar experience to this were someone said something that they knew wasn't true.

My friend was on the field one day at his school. He helps out at lunch by reffing soccer games. One day a kid comes up to him after the game and punches him. He loses 3 teeth, and has to have some root canals. The kid that hit him is in serious trouble, not only did he hit my friend in front of a teacher but in front of a lot of other kids.

Before the kid gets sent to trial to see if he can stay in school, his father invites all of the kids that were around to witness the event over. After wards, one kid changes his story to say that it was an accident. The kid was still convicted despite the kid that changed his story but I thought that was a similar example to the one that happened to Tom Robinson.
