I believe in the movie “A Time to Kill” ‚ Jake the lawyer’s closing argument would have allowed me to put myself in the shoes of the father of the girl that was rapped. I think the big contradiction in this case was the fact that the two boys that rapped the girl where white‚ and the girl they rapped was black. And at this point in time especially in the southern states racism was a really big issue. So this instantly put Carl
