Courthouse

majored in Accounting at Ole Miss in Mississippi (“John Grisham”). He got many of his ideas for writing by stories and cases that he came across when involved with law (“John Grisham”). When John Grisham isn’t writing, he is spending his time in the courthouse(“John Grisham”). It’s very interesting to me that he writes about cases that he has personally seen or dealt with in his law career because that makes his writing more personalized for him.…

Even though it was three years later, Jeny had still not been inside the courthouse. She knew her father had photos-photos she wanted-but could not gather up the courage to go inside and get them. Jeny was forming a plan in her head when her attention was ripped away from the plans and the door, by Dakota calling her name and asking…

This proves Scout’s statement that “Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed.”(pg 241). Foreshadowing the theory of Atticus accepting to take the case and defend Tom Robinson because no matter how hard he tries, the courthouse is rigged against the minorities;…

To my mother, my grandmother was the woman who raised her children while she worked, usurping her place in the family. My mother was terrified, so she took me with her wherever she could. On the weekends, I’d pull records-books at every county courthouse in the volunteer state. And on the days when work was long and demanding, when everyone was calling her name, when we couldn’t get away, mom and I would slip into the garage, shut out the lights, and open up the ice…

You emerge from the saloon and lean against a pillar to fan yourself with your hat.The old, splintery batwing doors swing back and forth, stirring up the dust along the wooden front walkway. It is a hot summer day in the Wild West, and a storm is a brewing in the distance. From far off, the sound of pounding hooves reaches your ears. A cloud of dust follows the lone white horse galloping into town, ridden by none other than the county’s finest lawman. Like all trustworthy lawmen in great…

opportunities to understand how things work. I spent close to four hours in the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, Victorville District. More specifically I sat in department V10, which is a criminal court. I am not sure if the courthouse is busy every single day or more so because it was Monday, but everywhere I turned there was people standing around. Department V10 had eighty-one cases on the calendar for October 31, 2016. My first thought upon entering the court room…

The Colfax Massacre was a profound event in history, and as of today, it remains the single most bloodiest act of violence during the reconstruction era. The Colfax Massacre was an event of discrimination and prejudice that caused the death of many innocent people for an unjustifiable reason. The tension between African Americans and white Americans had never been more profound. White supremacists fired against the African Americans and killed many of them. Even after their surrender, the…

from Heck Tate that says. “To my way of thinkin’, Mr. Finch, taking the one man who’s done you and this town a great service an’ draggin’ him with his shy ways into the limelight-to me, that’s a sin.” (Gladwell 4) Gladwell then after says, “The courthouse ring had spoken. Maycomb would go back to the ways it had always been.” .(Gladwell 4) Malcolm supports Atticus’ decision to defend Tom Robinson, but he knows that Maycomb won’t change its ways because of one courtroom…

What is now the Artel art gallery was once the Escambia county courthouse. The building has references of Roman Tuscan columns and other related structures.
