Our race is not innocent of murder and other cruel actions and this may seem to validate Mark Twain’s (1896) accusation that "Man is the Cruel Animal" (pg.236)‚ but these actions do not define us because they are not considered to be the norm. Without this sense‚ these actions could nonetheless be the norm. Actually‚ it is this "great defect" known as our moral sense

I chose Henry Clay as the person who I think should have been president instead of these four other men. These other men were incompetent‚ they lacked leadership‚ and they each didn’t have much support. None of them had much drive or motivation to be a good president‚ and as for a couple of them‚ they didn’t have much political background at all.

Seemingly‚ he walks out of the courtroom unscathed‚ but an anger unbeknownst to any other is boiling inside of Bob Ewell the moment the accusation is spoken. One can imply this by reviewing the violent behaviours that he exhibits following the trial. He simply cannot handle the fact that he‚ in his own eyes‚ is being treated more poorly than Tom Robinson‚ a crippled black man accused of rape
