To kill a mocking bird chapters 16-19

The trial starts in chapter 16. I believe that Bob Ewells made those bruises on the girl's face because he is left handed and the bruises were on the right side of the girl's face. In chapter 18, the trial continues. I think Mayella is faking the whole thing about Tom Robinson rapping her. I think this because in the chapter when Atticus examines her testimony, he asks how Tom Robinson could have bruised the right side of her face with his left hand that was torn apart by a cotton gin whenhe was a boy. Then when i read chapter 19, i was happy to find out that i was right, and that Mayella was faking the whole thing about being raped by Tom Robinson.

The Woman Warrior #3

It was sad how Moon Orchid became crazy. I felt sorry for her. Brave Orchid may have came to America but her thought process did not change. She still thought very Chinese and did not consider that the marriage system was different in America. It was hard to determine if she had a loving relationship with her children. The book was very interesting . It was intriguing how they considered people as ghosts. At first I thought the ghosts they referred to were all dead people or supernatural forces. That is an interesting way of looking at people.

The Woman Warrior #2

Chinese are frugal and I admire that about them. The Chinese Americans are half American and half Chinese or full-blooded Chinese who grew up in America. I have friends who are Philippine American who are half and half like me or pure blooded pinoy, but they just grew up in America. Oftentimes Asians would rather have their children adopt the American way of life and make them forget their Asian heritage. I can speak all three languages english,tagalog and bisaya unlike my friends who are pure blooded. I am saying this because I can relate to the girls in the book. Last year , a friend of my mom told me to marry her son so he could come to America. She said that her son would pay for my college tuition if I married him because I have papers so I could petition him as my fiancee. My mom told me that it is my choice who I marry and no one can take that away. I am grateful for my mother for considering my happiness. Other Asian parents can be a lot worse. I would say that I am a perfect balance and enjoy both cultures.

The Woman Warrior #1

I realized that Chinese life is not like what I used to think it was like. I had not realized that the thing about Chinese girls being considered as a waste was true and I had always thought that was an exaggeration. In fourth grade, there was a teacher at our intermediate school who had adopted a Chinese girl and our teacher told us how girls babies were murdered at birth in China and something about only two children per household. Since I am a girl , this book does appeal to me and I consider myself lucky that my parents do appreciate me. It must have been hard growing up being told that when you are old enough, you are expected to be a slave or a wife.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #3

I wish Brick or Jamie never ran away. I wish the boy just told everything. Rachel should have investigated her past. Rachel should have asked more questions and defended herself. I did not like how the book ended, it left me hanging.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #2

It does not make sense how people at Rachel's school judged her too quickly. I didn't like how the grandma did not explain things to Rachel about her life before the accident. I wish the father visited Rachel because maybe all she needed was a father in her life. I wish the other characters explained more things to Rachel.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky #1

It was very hard to start reading the book,but it became interesting after a while. Rachel called herself the new girl and that confused me at first. The grandma seemed to have multiple personalities. It was confusing how the book changed perspectives and left me hanging on certain parts. Peoples dispositions changed throughout the story.
