Decisions In To Kill A Mockingbird

Every decision we make and every act we commit can change our lives. I chose to involve myself in what I enjoy, and apply effort in the things I seek success in. Some characters of To Kill A Mockingbird weren’t enabled to make their own decisions due to their environment. Wether it be a family member, friend, authority figure, decision, or something you are given, it can impact your life and has the ability to change everything you do. The way parents act and teach affects their children more than anything. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Atticus displayed the lesson of fighting for what's right by defending Tom Robinson in a battle that was clearly uphill.

I am very close with Miles Robb, who graduated from Millbrook last year, and am positive our friendship will last a lifetime. Despite the age gap, Miles and I have had the best of times with each other in many different settings.

On the spot, she told us to get up in front of the class, after we had already proven we had no idea what we were doing, and show the class. This was clearly unfair and arrogant of her to do. Despite being the youngest of the group, I decided to be the one to speak out. I told her that it was ridiculous for her to single us out on something like this, and after class when she had asked me to speak to her I said couldn’t respect a teacher that didn’t respect her students equally. This situation corresponds to Tom Robinson's case. Tom Robinson was clearly not the suspect, however, since the white men who were controlling the situation did not favor the black man on trial, he was convicted.
