Bella Thiel Professor Darren World Literature II 5/24/2012 Do you think Candide gained Insight?

He did not prepare Candide well‚ so when Candide gets kicked out of the Castle‚ he takes a big hit. He grew up in the castle so of course he

These are the just some of the injustices that will be elaborated on throughout this report as well as now incarceration

your attention the unfair trial of Tom Robinson. I think we all knew that the jury would say that he was guilty of the crime‚ but was he really? I don’t think he was‚ and I hope you and the readers of The Maycomb Tribune will help me fight this injustice. Good people like Atticus Finch‚ tried to prove the innocence of Tom Robinson.
