Choice A: Most of the local people in Maycomb felt that it would be a disgrace for a black person to win in a dispute with any with a white person, so they took Bob Ewell's side. Have you ever been in a situation where someone took a side that they obviously knew was wrong? How did this make you feel?
I have been in a situation when my parents have taken my sisters side over mine even though they knew I was right. It makes me feel frustrated because, I have no one on my side to defend me. It also makes me feel really alone and sad, because I can’t really do anything about it. I felt really bad for Tom Robinson when no one was on his side. Everyone knew he was telling the truth but they were too scared to stand up for him just because of his skin color. I think Maycomb would be a better place to live if they had more people like Atticus, Jem, and Scout. Maycomb would also be better if they had less people like Aunt Alexandra. Aunt Alexandra is really against black people and she thinks that she is better than every back person.
