Tate

On August 7th, 1930, a group of 10,000 white Americans lynched two black men. The 1930s were a difficult time, for most, to understand that no matter the color of a person’s skin that they are equal and there is no difference between the two main ethnicities, which were white and black. Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, grew up in the minute town of Monroeville, Alabama. Growing up in the South during one of the most racially unequal periods in recent history was very hard for a…

than others. While the punishment that came along with those crimes may have been little to no punishment at all, that’s not the case with fifteen year old Charles Andy Williams and fourteen year old Lionel Tate. William’s, who was involved in a fatal shooting spree in Santana High School, and Tate who was involved in the wrestling death of his six year old playmate were both sentenced to life in prison under California’s proposition 21 law.

sisters named Tate and Fae. One Friday morning, when everybody was eating breakfast (except for Tate, who was finding her outfit for the third time), Fae whispered to Bella, “Tate is such a drama queen.” “Yeah,” whispered Bella. Tate walked down the stairs and ate some breakfast. After the bus came, all three girls went on the bus. Bella did not like the bus. After they came back from school, Bella and Fae went up to their rooms, and Tate went into the backyard. Bella and Fae saw Tate out…

some situation. Mr. Tate is unlike Uncle Jack and Dr. Reynolds and cannot connect with Scout like they did instead he just overloaded her with questions. Mr. Tate finally was able to put the readers thoughts about Mr. Ewell into words and had the guts to counter what Atticus had said. Boo Radley is described just as we all expected him to be. He is like an old guy that is almost dead. Atticus true worry about appearing as the best parent is expressed in this dialog. Mr. Tate is trying to be as…

Heck Tate comes over and discusses Bob Ewell’s death with the Finch family. Officer Heck Tate of Maycomb County had come over to oversee Jem because he was hurt and unconscious because of an accident that had happened the night of Scouts pageant. Scout and Jem were walking home in the complete dark…

In my opinion, failing to arrest Boo Radley was not a wrong decision by Sheriff Heck Tate or Atticus. All Boo did was do to Bob Ewell what he does to Tom and tries to do to Scout and Jem. When arguing with Atticus about who killed Bob Ewell, Heck Tate says, “Let the dead bury the dead” (Lee 369). I think he is trying to say that Bob should be dead because of his actions, and that Bob Ewell is just paying the price for being responsible for Tom’s death. Bob is getting the punishment that he…

Tate found his neck and rubbed it. Bob Ewell’s lyin’ on the ground under that tree down yonder with a kitchen knife stuck up under his ribs. He’s dead, Mr. Finch” (266). Ewell dieing shows justice because he basically killed Tom Robinson by pushing him into the courts, and ruining his family's life. Another man does justice instead of justice being done to him, this man is Heck Tate and his justice is that he knew that Bob Ewell didn’t fall…

the Morrison murder and Walter already held a reputation that made them willing to get rid of him. Sheriff Tate was under a lot of public pressure to arrest someone, as shown in this quote, “Based on their personal knowledge of Walter’s whereabouts at the time of the Morrison murder, family members, church members, black pastors, and others all pleaded with Sheriff Tate to release McMillian. Tate wouldn’t do it. The arrest had been too long in the making to admit another failure” (52). He…
