If only..
"Miss Mayella, I am going to ask you once more. Does your father beat you?" -bang,bang,pow,pow- A silence shuts the courtroom as everyone is still and sees Tom Robinson at the desk bleeding with shots in his chest.
"The case was just about to be cracked!" yelled Jem.
"What happened Jem, I cant see anything from up here".
"They shot Tom" said Jem. The courtroom is still in a silence when people see Bob Ewell standing with a gun in his hand dripping sweat from his forehead. The courtroom went from dead silence to an erruption of fear and comotion as Bob points the gun towards Atticus and threatens to shot if anyone follows him and Mayella to flee. The pastor from the black church describes to Jem and scout exactly what is happening although scout doesent comprehend much of it.
"Tom Robinson has been wrongly accused of beating Mayella, it was her father! Bob and Mayella escape through the courtroom doors in shame for lieing infront of all these people of Maycomb and wrongly accusing Tom Robinson and killing him. Police officers place a hunt for Bob and Mayella but when they arrive at their house, it is burning down to the ground and from the faint screams in distance, everyone knew Bob did this and took his children with him. A mob starts to appear at Bob Ewells house.
"Why do people do things like this Atticus?"
"Well honey, its hard to explain to you right now, but just know theirs a big world with some bad people in it, but you know right from wrong babygirl".
Firefighters arrive and try to go into the house and save some of the children but it was already too late, all that was left was bones and scrapes of burned clothing. A momment of silence is shed for Bob Ewells children and a faint sound of an ambulance is near as everyone reunites as the courthouse and see's Tom taken away.
"Daddy, I understand why we dont kill mockingbirds now" said scout.
"The case was just about to be cracked!" yelled Jem.

The Truth of the Matter
Mayella Ewell
How frequently does your dad hit his children?
-I would ask this to see if Bob Ewell was capable of harming Mayella himself
Have you had any sexual interactions with Tom Robinson before this incident
-I would ask this to see if it was possible that the sex was consentual
Do you find Tom Robinson attractive?
-I would ask this to see if it was maybe Mayella that came on to him
Has anyone hit you in the past before?
-I would ask this to see if someone else could have been the cause to her injuries
Do you fear your father?
-I would ask this to see if she was possibly lying in fear of her father and what he might do if she told the truth
How did you meet Tom Ribinson?
-I would ask this because if they had built a relationship before this incident to see if she has had relations with Tom Robinson and for how long
Why would you invite Tom Robinson into your home if you knew how racist your father was?
-I would ask this because it could be possible Mayella dident expect to get caught in the act of what she was really doing
Have you ever rebelled to make your father angry?
-I would ask this to see if Mayella may have had relations with Tom Robinson to upset her father for beating her since he is a racist.
Do you have any feelings towards Tom Robinson?
-I would ask this to see how she reacts to the question or gets nervous.
When is the last sexual expierence you had before this altercation?
-I would ask this to see if Mayella is permiscuous and was having sex with Tom Robinson willingly.

Bravery and Courage
In To Kill a Mockingbird i think emotional strentgh can constitute bravery or courage. Ms. Dubose was truly suffering and had to be a very strong person to keep waking up everyday. I think Atticus is the most courageous person in the book so far because even after loosing his wife he still has a great job and is supportive of his kids which isn't the easiest thing to do as a single father. I think firefighters and policemen and the most courageous or brave people i know in my life because they risk their life everyday for the benefit and safety of others.
