Journal # 7 To Kill a mocking bird Dills prespective

There he was.  Mr Dolphus Raymond.  I had heard many things about him and how he lives from Jem and Scout.  Not necessarily bad in my opinion but slightly weird.  He was with a black woman.  This was unheard of.  He is the father of many mixed children.  I hear that they don't fit in anywhere.  Not with the blacks because they are half white and not with the whites because they are half black.  I felt bad for these kids because they didn't fit in.  Mr. Raymond supposedly is very rich and treats the kids very nicely.  he also lives in the black neighborhood and owns a lot of land.  Rumor has it this old Dolphus Raymond is a total drunky.  Everyone says that he keeps Whiskey in a brown lunch bag.  Suddenly I was called over.  I condescended because I was afraid of him and the stories about his wife and him.  I went anyways.  He told me to take a drink from his bag.  I took a sip and smiled.  It was coca cola!  All this time I thought it was whiskey.  Butt I was oblivious to the reasoning of this.  Everyone in town thought he was a drunky but he really wasn't.  I asked him why he gave himself a bad name.  He explained to me something very interesting.  He told me that he wasn't much of a drinker.  He also said that he liked living with black folks.  Said that no one would have understood him if he just said that he liked it so he pretends that he is under the influence of alchahol so that people believe that thats not really what he wants but that is what the whiskey is making him do.

I was so sad from the way that Mr. Gilmer treated Tom Robinson.  So  he cheered me up by saying that when he was to grow up he would understand it better.  Mr Dolphus Raymond is  a good person who only means well.  He just tries to deceive people by acting like he is a drunky so he can excuse his like for negroes.  

He told Scout that her father was a good person.  Said that she was to young to understand it but once she looked around the court room she could realize it.  Scout was quickly reminded that she was missing the case.  

We both walked in as Atticus was talking to the jury.  This was important and I knew not to bother anyone.  Atticus was telling the jury about how the Ewells didn't have any physical or medical evidence  that Tom Robinson did anything leaving the accusation wrong.  Atticus told the court that the prosecutor didn't have any whiteness other than the tow testimonies.  Atticus also said that Mayella broke a social norm.  She tempted a black person.

Atticus said that Bob Ewell was Left handed and must have beet up Mayella because her right eye was hurt.  Tom Robinson couldn't hit with his left arm because of the cotton machine incident.  

Atticus made a very good point.  All men were made equal in court.  The jury had to remember it was two white people versus a black person and that it was unfair if the jury was thinking as if he is unequal.

Just as Atticus finished up Calpurnia came into the room.  I knew we were in trouble.  She handed Atticus a letter.  Probably from Aunt Alexandra.  Atticus took a look around the room and announced that his children had gone missing.  Than someone said that they had been up with reverend Sykes for some time.  I, Scout and Jem went down to talk to Atticus.  We begged him to see the final verdict.  Atticus told us to go home and eat slowly because we weren't going to miss anything.  We came back a while later.  The Jury was still making a decision.  They came out.  Ultimately Tom Robinson was found guilty.  My heart dropped.  As Atticus left the courthouse the negroes all stood up and we stood up also.  I wish I had a dad like Atticus who was cool and deffended people who needed it.
