**__By Stephanie__** I am quiet and thoughtful, but also knowledgeable. I wonder why the white men could murder someone because of a color. I hear people whispering all over the town about me and the supposed 'horrible crime' I have committed. I see clusters of white people everywhere, spreading rumors and not caring whether I die or not. I want to be a free man and to live freely with my family. I am quiet and thoughtful, but also knowledgeable.I pretend that I'm a free man living in the west with my wife and children. I feel sick to my stomach and nervous about my trial and verdict. I touch the courtroom table with anxiety and a great fear in the pit of my stomach. I worry about my future, but most importantly the future of my beautiful family. I cry when I think about the hate that revolves around so many people today. I am quiet and thoughtful, but also knowledgeable.I understand that people can hate someone very much just because that person feels more important than me. I say that every person should be able to live out their dreams. I dream about a perfect world where my best friend is white, and hate never existed. I try to smile and be friendly to the white folk, and try to earn their respect. I hope that during my trial one of the jury men can open their eyes and realize who is telling the truth, and who are the liars. I am quiet and thoughtful, but also knowledgeable. Visual Element!

Dear Atticus, I would like to thank you for what you are doing. Defending a man of my race at this time is very brave, and I admire that about you. I know that you may have no hope for me and winning that trial, yet I feel like you need to try and be optimistic about the future. I hope you know that I did not even touch that girl. I believe that people are saying that because I am black. I hear you are a good lawyer because I have heard around town that you are. I have faith in you Mr. Finch. I hope that your feelings are the same for me. I know what I am doing. I know that you know what you’re doing, and Atticus I can’t say it enough. In this jail cell I had time to think, I thought about you and your courage and that if that judge thinks that I am guilty, I will be killed. So, I just want to thank you and God bless you! Thanks, Tom Robinson
