LA Online Learning-Is Maycomb a Good Place to Stay? Pt/2

|
My 2nd strongest that is available is linguistic, which pains me as it is the hardest one for me to do. Nonetheless, I will try to complete this task. I will complete the task that requires me to write a newspaper article about one of the events happened in the novel. I will write about Atticus' decision to defend Tom Robinson.

FAMOUS LAWYER DEFENDS BLACK MAN

A Mr Atticus Finch has took the decision to defend a black man, Thomas Robinson, who is charged of rape of a white woman, Mayella Ewell, in court. This choice shocked the public of Maycomb and disgusted the citizens.

Finch, father to a son and daughter, Jean Louise and Jeremy, is one of the better lawmen of Maycomb. His decision made Maycomb County despise him and that gave him the title of 'nigger lover' by many citizens. Finch, however, does not mind people calling him 'nigger-lover'. Instead, he says that he loves all people and would not be unfair.

The case is about Thomas Robinson taking advantage of Mayella's father, Robert Ewell's absence to rape her. This offense is capable of getting a death penalty, and since the best lawyer in town refuses to defend him, Atticus Finch decides to defend him.
