I completely agree with you that Tom Robinson in no way could have choked, punched, and raped a girl at the same time. With one hand that would be impossible to do all at the same time without Mayella being able to get away. If you think about it Robinson would have to have quite a rhythm in order to actually accomplish it, but if Mayella really was thrashing about he could not have gotten into a rhythm. Robinson’s movements would have gotten clunky and Mayella’s kicking and thrashing should have

How I Got My Brace We lost our soccer games, 2-1. On the ride home I was sitting in the back with a friend, while my sister sat up front, her long red hair hanging over the seat.

in a right-handed society, I have been able to witness some of these examples. Well, for starters, a leftie is mostly called a Southpaw. A Southpaw by definition is a left-handed boxer. We have many advantages on other people. Don’t be jealous though! We are just special! For the most part, Southpaws have a strong advantage in sports. Certain sports such as basketball and baseball are the most complex. In basketball, it is difficult for the defense to play defense. Since most players are right-handed

react, and change? As an interpreter reading the speech “Ain’t I A Woman” I was impacted by Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree). This was possible only after I analyzed her speech for hidden meanings. The speech addressed Baumfree’s views on women’s rights, specifically African American women.
