In this paragraph, I am going to be characterizing Tom Robinson. One word that depicts Tom Robinson would be honest. He is honest for many reasons. My first reason is that he is able to admit anything that he has done. In the courthouse, Tom admitted that he had been convicted for thirty days because he fought with a man and he could not pay the fine to get out (Lee 254). He wants everyone to get a better understanding of him so that no one is confused about him. Another reason he is honest is…

The document “We’re On Our Way” is the testimony of Fannie Lou Hammer. Her testimony to events that took place in order to discriminate against African American citizens. In this document, Hammer describes how America is no longer the land of the free and the brave as it was believed to be. The aftereffects of the incidents in Hammer’s life defined her reasoning for this belief. Hammer does not believe this to be true anymore as a result of other African American were being murdered all because…

opponents protest when the women are getting in the abortion clinics. But, that is not true, “But the supreme court devotion to the First Amendment has its limits. It stops at the edge of the plaza outside its own courthouse” (Liptak). The plaza is not a Free speech zone even outside the courthouse. Therefore,the court police officers had to do something on the plaza, “court police officers have been known to instruct visitors to remove small buttons bearing political messages” (Liptak). That is…

task seriously. This chapter really hit on many stereotypes throughout the chapter and how powerful it can be when stereotypes are broken. I would never think to take my class on a field trip to a courthouse to participate in a mock trial. This was very brave of Levinson in my opinion. Courthouses are serious places where disruptive visitors are not appreciated. Levinson’s bravery paid off in the end though by giving the students a meaningful lesson about the justice system.…

Thomas Nast from Harper’s Weekly, Joseph Kepper of Puck, Frank Beard, Eugene Zimmerman, Grant Hamilton, etc. Most of these illustrators rose to the occasion to bring down the infamous Boss Tweed, who in 1861 begun his formation of the New York County Courthouse costing around 13 million dollars. City officials with a grudge against William M. Tweed provided…

Nathaniel Greene was a skilled and dangerous tactician. He knew just how to handle battle and did what he needed to do to preserve and aid his men. (“The American Revolution”) He joined the Southern Continental Army, rose through the ranks, and became commander (Saba), (Gregg 60). In battle, he was fearsome, but always held his men’s best interests at heart. He used different tactics several times, including dividing his own army to flank and defeat the British, forcing them to divide their…

wrong term and I should be using dually involved youth, which helped for the assignment. During the small break while waiting for another case, Ramona and I made plans to come back and meet at the courthouse Thursday at 8:30am, so I could experience the North Wing which is the criminal side of the courthouse. We were in the East Wing in room 822. Also the Judge invited us to come back and watch more at 9:30am for dependency court hearings. The court clerk also gave us advice to not get…

In the beginning of the semester, I would admit I was nervous to start my internship with the Divisional Clerks office. Before these past few months, I had only set-foot in a courthouse once or twice in my life for past tickets. Ever since I was eight years old, I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Growing up I enjoyed watching the television show; Law and Order Special Victims Unit, with my grandfather every day after school. When we would sit and watch the show together, my grandfather…

Judging is forming an opinion or conclusion about a person. There is a lot of judging that goes on in the book. The book took place in the 1930’s when black people weren’t looked at the same as a white person. There are lots of examples that show how the black people are judged and how other people are also judged. They are judged to be into different groups.. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout learns about judging from Aunt Alexandra, Atticus, and the Ewells. Scout learns about judging people in…
