If you had the chance to save a man from being murdered, would you? Well that’s exactly what local attorney, Atticus Finch did.

While Finch was in the Maycomb Jail, a group of four cars pulled up to the jail. Then in ones and twos, a group of suspicious men came out of the cars. When they approached the door, Atticus was already there. They told him he knew what they wanted. What they’re referring to? Tom Robinson, a local black man accused of rape.

That was when I grabbed my shot gun, I just knew things were going to turn ugly. Atticus then warned them that Mister Heck Tate was around. However, they called him off on a snipe hunt, so he wasn’t anywhere around.

After a short exchange of words, three children ran through the men to Atticus. I could tell it caught him by surprise. I couldn’t hear the exchange of words going on between Atticus and the three children. But then, something unbelievable happened. One of the men grabbed the biggest child by the collar and yanked him. And then, out of anger, the little girl kicked the man in the groin, causing him to fall back in pain.

Then a conversation occurred between the little girl and Mister Walter Cunningham (one of the suspicious men). Well, not really a conversation, more like the little girl rambling on and Walter replying once. She was talking to him about his son. After she was done talking, Walter replied, and the group of men left. Atticus then assured Tom Robinson he was safe and left.

I see why those men wanted to kill him. They believed they were doing justice by avenging the victim of rape. However I find it wrong, because there is no evidence against Tom, making it wrong to kill him.

After seeing that whole occurrence, I would like to praise Atticus Finch and those three children for their tremendous bravery. They defended that poor man and possibly saved his life.

Essay by: Shawn Lewis

The role Keith Beuachamp and Stanley Nelson played in the re-opening of the Emmet Till murder trial was bringing it back into the public’s eyes even after all the years that have passed. Keith Beuachamp traveled the country showing his unfinished documentary on the trial. He also met with several law enforcement officials, urging them to re-open the case. Stanley Nelson made the film “The Murder of Emmet Till.” At his screenings he urged the viewers to ask the attorney general of Mississippi to re-open the case.

Emmet Tills mother, Mamie Mobley, insisted that her sons funeral be open casket so the people could see what had happened to her son.

Mrs. Mobley said to Mr. Beuachamp “Keith, you’re about to grab a rattlesnake by the tail.”

The mix tape of my life would consist of mostly heavy metal and rock with a little bit of rap and hip hop. My favorite artists/bands include: Avenged Sevenfold, Of Mice and Men, Slipknot, Tyler the Creator, Bullet for my Valentine, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana and more. I like this music because I feel it takes much more skill to perform than most music that’s big nowadays. Sometimes I can also relate to the lyrics a lot. Whether they are singing about how they feel or what they think about the world, I usually can relate to those lyrics. It also encouraged me to learn the things I’m learning like the drums and guitar.
