An Innocent Death

A men should take his atonement when he went against the law and especially if he took someone’s innocent life.  And this is not an exception to Zimmerman-who killed Trayvon Martin (17-years-old, African American). Life is an only one chance and Zimmerman just took that only one chance from a young boy who was in an age to dream about his future.  When Martin was coming back from the supermarket with a skiddle and an ice tea on his hands-which are totally not overawe, Zimmerman called the police, saying that a black man looks “suspicious”; the police told Zimmerman to stay still and do nothing, and they will mobilize, but Zimmerman shot Martin.

The effect of “prejudice” in justice is major. People might take a wrong side-which there was a misunderstanding and after a misunderstanding, most will be highly influenced by his stereotype. Human are a weak creature, they get agitated.  And when they start to feel unrest, there won’t be a fair trial. The trial might incline to one side-which might be beneficial or disadvantage.

The individuals have a responsibility to protect the innocent by: being educated about how one’s life is precious and you never take one’s life without justification and also make the steps of gun ownership more complicated. It is hard to illegalize gun ownership because many Americans see gun ownership as much of a civil right as freedom of speech, religion and freedom of the press. They should intense the education of one’s life to the teenagers also the adults.

Gender can stereotypes influence people’s behavior by the outlook. Most of the people have a stereotype that men are strong and women are weak and men have to protect them. Usually men are the criminals when it causes force. Also when a man wears a criminal looking clothes, people will think that they are an actual criminal and starts to flatter-trying to look good so they won’t be harmed. On the other hand some people might call the police or move their body to a safe place. But when a woman wears her clothes like a criminal, people might think that she’s a prostitute. And treat her low-which means not treating like a human. They will think that they can beat her because she’s a woman.

Although Zimmerman is saying that he was self-defending, I think he knows that he is wrong. He should feel guilty for what he has done and people should learn that one’s life is something they will never get again and they must respect the others. Martin’s death is not a vain anymore to me. I deeply learned that you should never ever take one’s life, and people must have realized that they should never do what Zimmerman did. So Martin saved at least one life – which is very precious.

W.W vocabulary6 - TKMB chap 9

After Miss Maudie's house burned down, Jem told me that maybe some people might have conspired to burn her house. I asked him why and he said,
"Scout, Miss Maudie doesn't really gossips or even barely talks with the grown-ups."
"But not gossiping is a good thing. Isn't it?" I asked Jem again.
"I don't know that neither, it's the grown-ups thing to judge people" He answered.
I started to believe Jem's words. Miss Maudie was always meticulous with her place (especially the earth, according to what she said). A fire can't start from nowhere. This should be a calamity to her...

"Jem!I have a new idea of what we can do in our play! I'll be Miss Maudie and you be the person who started the fire." I exclaimed.
"No, you two won't never do that!" Atticus bowled.
"No, but.." I said, with my voice in a very small tone, noone can hear it. We always have a dissesion
about the play with Atticus. Atticus warned us again and went to his room. Jem's eyes followed Atticus and checked if Atticus closed his door.
"We're still gonna do the play okay Scout?" said Jem quietly.
Although we know that the day when Atticus realizes it is imminent we were already discussing about how our play will end. both of us wanted a happy ending so the criminal will get apprehended and he will also pay Miss MAudie the money back to recover her house and her garden again. We also decided that he has to work 200hours of service, picking up trashes as Miss Maudie will wish to do.
And we found a perfect twig to use it as a shackle to arrest Jem at the end of the play.
"But who's Dill gonna be?" I questioned.
"Maybe he could be the other man, I guess" he said. "Or he could be Boo Radley watching the people burning the house."
"But that will be really boring to Dill" I said
"Who cares. He will find his own play" Jem said.
I should've realize that this play was getting to realistic. And also Miss Maudie looking at us.

Dear May

Dear May,

May, times elapsed  since you've left us. We had a calamity after you were gone, but we still love you. I know you won't get this letter but I believe that you are always beside me. And I know you will read this letter.

Lily, that little girl is already taller than me. She is learning how to love with Zach and the bees. Zach became a lawyer as his dreams and he's preparing a wedding ring to Lily (and we are conspiring also. I think their marriage is imminent) . He's very meticulous to Lily right now. Oh! I forgot to tell you about Zach after he got apprehended. Do you remember the white lawyer whom Zach used to deliver honey?He helped us to release Zach and the next day you left us, we saw Zach coming out from a car with a shackle around his arm, but he was still smiling at us as of nothing had happened. The white lawyer just tolled me that Zach was arraigned for spending time with Lily at apublic place.When he came inside, we didn't interrogate him what has happened - we just tried to assimilate him like how you would do.

Remember when Neil and June had dissension about their marriage? I have a clear image of your face when they were arguing - I won't say it because I know you you'll feel embarrassing. They said that they had an anarchy in that time but I think that it's an excuse. Anyway, they are married and they have three cute daughters which they are collecting honey with Lily right now. They kind of lionize Lily and I don't know why. And also the last girl, really reminds me of you. Why? Because she also sometimes has a bizarre behaviour.

Rosaleen is still a single because she thinks you're a single too, so in her words she's saying that she can't leave you alone - but I say that it's 'self-justisfication'. Even though she's not married, she's always happy and smiling so you don't have to worry about her.

Now, I have to go teach June's daughters, sweltering outside to teach them how to clean the bee house. I'll soon write another letter for you.

Bye Honey.

Love From, August
