To Kill a Mockingbird

That makes me really mad that Tom Robinson was found guilty. None of the evidence said that he did it. It was only Mayella and Ewell's word against Tom Robinson's. The court case showed Mayella for what a mean person she really is. I don't see how you could be that selfish. She made him do a bunch of chores for her that she could easily do and then she repays him by accusing him of raping her.
That was really wierd when Mr. Gilmer said a bunch of really rascist statements to Tom Robinson. No one said anything at all. That should have at least been badgering the witness or something. I was also suprised that more people didn't share Dill's reaction. I would definately go wack Mr. Gilmer for talking like that. It is just really wierd that people just accepted that back then.
I would have thought that Atticus's speech would have gained more support. He told everyone exactly why it was wrong and yet they still found Tom Robinson guilty.

.....

I'm not quite finished with the reading for this section(I'm on page 175) but the case is getting heated up!!!!! I think that Atticus will use the fact that the Ewell's and the others never got a doctor for Mayella to his advantage in the case. I don't think Atticus will win the case just because of the time period and everyting...but because of the facts that he will probably pull up, he should win.

Double Helix

I read this book at the beginning of this semester. I would give this book a 8 out of 10. It is about a boy named Eli. He applies for a job at a trans genetics lab. His mom has a disease called HD. There is a mystery about why his mom and dad both knew the researcher that is now Eli's boss; and why his dad hates him. There is also a very good surprise ending. Even I wasn't expecting part of it. If you like mysteries and or science this would be a great book for you. I would defiantly recommend this book.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

Alright, I have to admit: I thought this book would be the worst thing to read since... I don't know, but now, I LOVE it! =] I love all of the characters (except for Bob and Mayella), but what I love more than them is the ending! Yes! I have finished the book!

I know that most of you aren't quite at the end, so I won't ruin it for the rest of you. You all will LOVE the ending! Heehee! Like Mrs. James, I was sad that the book ended. I wish that Harper Lee would have written a sequel or something.

Ok, I can't stay for long, but I just wanted to inform you all that the ending is absolutely fantastic! Talk to you all later then! =]

i finished This lullaby =]

yay for me! ! !

i love the feeling you get when you finish a good book.
And this was a really good one.

it had a good lesson about love.
That you need to just take chances.
I got a lot outta it
and it has actully thought me to just go for it.

So you should totally read it. =]

I was gone on Thursday and Friday because I had to go to Nebraska for my grandpa's funeral so I'm just now catching up on the reading for this week. Right now I'm just on page 153. I thought that it was really funny when Scout was trying to kick some guys shins, but ended up kicking a little too high. OUCH!!! I really don't feel sorry for the guy because he seems really rude, and he is probably going to beat up Atticus, or do something else bad. I'll post later when I'm finished reading!!!

~The rest of you have fun watching basketball while I'm in my room with my nose in mockingbird.

On Trial!

This weekend I read the assigned reading for To Kill A Mockingbird. The three chapters covered the trial of Mr. Robinson. Attitcus seems to handle his job very calmly and as the trial goes on you and him find out more about the victim and the events that occured that night the girl was raped. As I finished reading these chapters I wondered what it would be like to be a defense attorney and be able to ask questions like Atticus did to find out more information as the trial goes on. I think To Kill A Mockingbird is a good book so far-now I just want to know what happens in the trial.
