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?
One time, I was in a situation where I had to choose between two friends who were in the same "category", and one of them told me I had to pick either one of them. I told her I can make my own decision and choose to be both of their friends. She got mad, and I knew that it was wrong to choose sides when I wanted to be both of their friends. I can be friends with them both, but she said that if I was going to be her friend, she was not going to be my friend. I felt horrible, but if that person is going to do that, she is not worth my friend, so I chose to be the other person's friend. It was a good choice because she was nice and wasn't as bossy, and the other one had to leave the school anyway.
It makes me feel that the situation given isn't fair and that you have to choose. It is difficult. It doesn't make you feel pleasant. But then, you look at what Tom is in. He is in a life and death situation. That would be even more harder to decide. You are putting your fate in someone else' hands who do not know you at all, especially if they are all white, and he is black.
A time when I saw someone take a wrong side in something was when I witnessed something, and then I told my friends. They said they saw it, but didn't want to say anything. I thought it was unfair and that it made it harder for me to tell the truth to others. And there was a time when I said something, and this girl made a whole different theory, so I got mad, and others believed her. So I was really upset and it hurt to have someone go against you. You feel defenseless. You just have to stand up nice and tall. There are times when I try to explain things to my parents or sister, and they don't pay attention or believe you.
So....... bye!,
