blog post # 5http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/bail-set-10k-student-arrested-racial-threats-35520450
what happened here was that a 19 year old male named Tysen Campbell got bailed in jail for $10000. He was arrested on campus Monday and accused of making racial threats against black students and others on social media.This relates to my motif because its dealing with race, the white male was being racist and threatening black people on the campus, and a lot of students did not show up to school because of the threat. This also relates to TKAM because of the trial with Tom Robinson Bob ewell and Mayella Ewell. what had happened here was that ewells were blaming a black male named tom Robinson for raping and abusing Mayella they did only because Mayella tried to take advantage of tom robinson by kissing him but Tom Robinson refused and Mayellas dad found out, and accused  Tom Robinson but only because he was black. Without good evidence the ewells won an unfair trial.
what happened here that was wrong was how the ewells won an unfair trial because they didn't deserve to win, they werent telling the truth. What could have happened right was for Mayella to just tell the truth, even though her father Mr.Ewell would of beaten her badly it would been the right thing to do.


I can relate this to when Aunt Alexandra- shows racism towards Calpurnia, when she was talking to Atticus.this was very unfair like the other article because it was unfair Aunt Alexandra was being rude to someone that did nothing her.I honestly thing that some people deserved to be others people shoes to understand how it feels like being treated unfair like that.
She waited until Calpurnia was in the kitchen, then she said, “Don’t talk like that in
front of them.”
“Talk like what in front of whom?” he asked.
“Like tan hat in front of Calpurnia. You said Braxton Underwood despises Negroes right in
front of her.”
“Well, I’m sure Cal knows it. Everybody in Maycomb knows it.”
I was beginning to notice a subtle change in my father these days, that came out when
he talked with Aunt Alexandra. It was a quiet digging in, never outright irritation. There
was a faint starchiness in his voice when he said, “Anything fit to say at the table’s fit to
say in front of Calpurnia. She knows what she means to this family.”
“I don’t think it’s a good habit, Atticus. It encourages them. You know how they talk
among themselves. Every thing that happens in this town’s out to the Quarters before
sundown.”
