Courthouse

Chapters 16 to 20 Tom Robinsons’s trial began which was the most gripping and cinematic part of the book. The whole Maycomb assembled to witness the trial and even the kids sneaked in the courthouse by finding seats in the balcony where the black people sits.

away by the level of professionalism and efficiency that took place at this legislative meeting. Although it would be unfair of me to compare the small Dallas Township Municipal meeting with the Legislative session that took place at the Historic Courthouse that evening on February 21st at six o’clock.

Although it was a mild and pleasant day for February, it would suppress the current dreaded chill running down my spine.Today was the day would witness the trial of the accused witch Rebecca Nurse.

In my area, the tight-knit community of Garnet Valley, most of the residents have the same idea of families. Families will support you, families will help you when no one is there to help, and families will love you no matter what. Driving down the streets of this growing community, everyone can see the stick figure bumper sticks with the mom, dad, and maybe a few siblings.
