Today as i was taking my walk to work Mayella was outside her house. I tipped my hat to her like a gentleman. She asked me to come in and fix something for her. Now me being the nice man I am i went in and tried to help her. I entered the house and noticed that nothing in the house seemed like it needed to be fixed. Mayella then told me to get something from a shelve. While i was doing this she wrapped her arms around my legs. I was startled and came straight down from the chair. She then jumpd onto me and kissed me. Me! A black man. I took Mayella off of me and ran. Just as i started to run Bob Uwell had came and saw me in the window. Now after all of this, he has charged me with the conviction of raping his daughter. What a week this will be. I am already treated with disrespect in ths town and now with this I reckon I will be hated forever.

Time With The Family-(Found After Toms Death)
As the trial is soon beginning i have began to spend more time with my family. I am playing with my son and showing him how to be a good father. Me and him get along quite good actually. Me and my wife Helen are doing great. We are working hard to support and feed the family. My father is getting old but he can still take care of himself. He is a great man and I know if something happens to me, he will support the family. My wife is worried about me, heck im worried about myself but mostly my family. I dont want anything bad to happen to them if im gone. Well my son is outside waiting for me, i will be back.

Jail Time
Now that the jury has proved me guilty I am now being sent to a prison and will have to wait for my death sentence. I’m now thinking of making an escape, I cant take this any longer. This will probably be my last time talking to the people. If I make it out alive I will have to hide for a very long time. Hopefully someday I can get back to you people and write another blog. Now I am busy thinking about my escape plan and how to make it out alive. A black man has no respect in this town.
After The Trial
I have just gotten back from the trial. As I sat in the chair explaining my side of the story to the people of Maycomb I knew it wasn’t convincing anyone. With the help of Atticus Finch I thought the people were convinced enough. Atticus tossed me something and I caught it with my right hand. Then he had asked me to catch something with my left hand, which was something I could not do. The reason was because of when I was little my hand got stuck in a cotton gin and all my muscles in my left hand were torn. Atticus protected me will and I was sure he proved to the people that I was not guilty of the rape of Mayella Uwell. The jury was ready to make a decision, they all agreed and I was said to be guilty. I walked out of that courtroom with my head down.
The Trial Begins
I am sitting in my house wondering about how i will survive. The trial starts today and im already scared. A black man has no chance in a place like Maycomb, Alabama. A black mans word in this town is nothing compared to a white mans. My family is very worried about me, but like them me and my family have much faith in my lawyer Atticus Finch. Atticus is a wise and intellect man and i know he will defend me to his best abilties. Well the trial is starting soon and I must go
