Toms point of view
This could be one of the worst days in my life I can’t believe that they really think I raped her. I am sure it is because I am black I wish this county didn’t care about color but that isn’t something that I can change by my self they are the ones in power. This is no far this not complacently in this case they are all lying they are just believing what one person has said. Well I feel it may not be the same for me. I hope the will believe the truth. Even the sheriff is against me it seems this is terrible.
The sheriff is either lying and he doesn’t remember what happened and he is just going with what the other person has said in this case because he is also raises and didn’t know the whole side of the story and just because I ran away after words. Mr.Ewells was still their and then the sheriff came he could have told him anything just to make me look bad I new something bad was going to happen but I wouldn’t thing it would escalate to this situation.
After the sheriff was on the stand it was time for Mayella to come up. I was hoping that she was going to tell the truth but it seemed that her father would have killed her if she said the right thing. I was very scared she said I shouldn’t be let free practically, and that really hurt my heart. In a way I can’t blame her because she probably would have got beet even more, unless Mr.Ewells would go to jail. But that would mess up their whole family I couldn’t let that happen but I didn’t want it to end the other way also.
After she was done I was asked to the stand I just went up their and told the truth knowing they wouldn’t believe me now but still I would hope so. I told then that I was just helping her get something and then I fell and she hugged me and kissed me indulgently. After that in the window was Mr. Ewells because he wasn’t being oblivious he came in yelling at Mayellaz and calling her a whore and threatening to kill her. I was very scared so I ran I wasn’t about to be encumbered to get a way. If I staid that would have been the end of me and dispelled. He had to beat her and tell the sheriff I raped her and forced her to tell him that and agree with it.

I liked how you really acted like you were in Tom's shoes. I liked how you said "either the sheriff is lying or doesn't remember." Becuase that is almost like what it seemed. I think that you made his side of the story sound very good. And it was a very good retell of the chapters.
I really like you first paragraph and how you started your blog by saying that you wished that this country wouldn't care about your color. I also liked how you talked about how Mayella went up to the stand and you hoped that she tell the truth but she didn't, but how you couldn't blame her for lying.
