Tom Robinson's Suicide Letter
Dear Mr. Tom Robinson

I am so sorry. I cannot believe everything that is going on. I ne’er meant for any of this to happ’n to you. I am so sorry. There aren’t any words to explain my regret towards everything’ that I’ve done. You are an innocent man and the only thing you’re guilty of is being a good and honest person.

I know it’s way too late now but I’d really like to explain to you why I did what I did. As you know, I do not have a mama, I have 7 younger siblings and a drunk for a father. Being the oldest, I’ve become the adult female in my house. I don’t get to go to school because I’m too busy doing work round the house and raising seven children on my own. My father is usually drunk and angry with us so I tell my brothers and sisters to steer clear of him so he doesn’t hit them the way he’s hit me before. …show more content…
even if I did, I bet you nobody would associate with me anyways. Us Ewell’s are basically thought of as trash. the only thing thought of as lower than us is the coloured folks, no offense. Since I don’t know anyone and nobody wants to know me, I live an extremely lonely life. You see, I don’t like being alone. I need a man that I can love and that will love me back. somebody I will share my life with. However, the only man that might be willing to come inside my house is you, which is why i tried to kiss

    What Is An Example Of Tom Robinson's Dialectical Journal

    As I replaced my corset, I could hear those mindless little birds jabbering on about how Tom Robinson was going to get what he deserved. Ha. For my brother is not a fool and he would not defend a Negro as forcefully as he did if that Negro was not one-hundred percent innocent. But, I plastered a smile on my face, went out to face the world as a strong and proud and proper woman of the 20th century. But, I felt like falling to the floor and eating all of the tea cakes I was carrying while I cried. The Finches were ruined, not only was it bad enough that Atticus was defending a Negro but that we lost was an even bigger blow to his dignity, our dignity.…

    Death Row Persuasive Letter Monologue

    But I can’t help but remember each night I spent observing you. I miss watching you play with your cat Alfred whom I had “accidentally” kinda shot. I wanted the attention you gave that pussy. Speaking of, how many stitches did they have to give you? Wasn’t it about 48? In all honesty, you deserved it, after all the shit you did. You stupid cunt. You should have known I would have found out. I take it the cops never found your severed pinky toe. That is because the day I was arrested, I stored it in my rectum. Occasionally when I am not around a guard, I take it out of the bag and play with it. It still smells like your lavender-vanilla lotion. Each time I take a whiff, I envision each time I felt your veneers clamp onto my neck, drawing blood. I'm sorry for each stain left on your body and mouth. I sure do miss those days. But I lay in this cell alone each night because I let you escape. I’m sorry I didn’t lock you in that cage like I…

    Well Kim I admit I did sext Natalie. I'm a man and should learn and realize what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have done something like that to someone who treated me better than Amie.

    I Am the Cheese Monologue

    I am confused. My name is Adam Farmer and also Paul Delmonte. I witnessed my mother and father murdered which truly makes me the cheese. I’m scared every time I think about them. I don’t want to speak about them but I fear I must to conquer the feelings. I knew my mother didn’t have any friends and my father told me that we had no family. My mother spent most of her time in her room and would have a phone call every Thursday evening and it would last a very long time. I didn’t really know my parents very well. They were mysterious to me. It was as if they were hiding myself from me, if that makes any sense. They used to whisper about me in their bedroom, with the door shut. I heard what they were talking about and I realized that they had been lying to me about my identity. My father almost caught me listening in but luckily he didn’t because I panicked and ran away before he could open the door. (1 minute) I was too scared to confront my parents about what I heard them talking about. I thought about telling Amy, my girlfriend, about how weird my parents are but I was scared of what type of opinion she would make of my family. Amy is someone who doesn’t take life too seriously. I think that she is the opposite of me because she isn’t ever afraid and she doesn’t panic, unlike me. I hate people that try to act like they are really tough, luckily they are usually stupid. There were a group of bullies that tried to take my bike and my package away from me. They weren’t clever enough to figure out that I left my bike with the police and they chased me to the police station where I rested for a while because they wouldn’t dare come near me then. Amy’s mother and my mother are also different as my mum stays home all day and her mum spends most of her time outside her house. I am afraid of a thousand things, a million. Like it is to be claustrophobic and yet fear open spaces too. I panic when I try to call Amy from a telephone booth and every time I come across a dog it…

    My Diary on Tom Robinson's Case

    Now that I am looking back on Tom Robinson's court case, I have seen what my decision has done to my family and I have heard what my friends and neighbors have to say about the ordeal. If I could go back in time, I would still make the decision to defend Tom Robinson. This decision is backed by many reasons of logic and my morals. Many decisions people make are decided on what suits themselves, they do not think of other people and how it may affect them or show them what is right and what is wrong.…

    In Mirikitani’s poem “Suicide Note”, parental pressures to be “good enough”, “smart enough”, and “pretty enough” are causes of teen suicide. Whether these feelings of deficiency come from comments and expressions from the narrator’s parents, or from her perception of their opinion of her, they drastically change the way she looks at herself.…

    Personal Narrative: A Personal Experience At Work

    Firstly, I am deeply saddened that we have not been able to talk, and attempt to have some dialogue with the hope of closure and peace for both of us. I understand why this would be difficult for you given how our relationship ended, and I take responsibility for this. I acted out of hurt, anger, and I dug my feet in without also considering the impact on you. Instead of applying compassion and understanding towards you, I acted with only my interests at stake, and for this I am deeply sorry.…

    Suicide Note

    In taking any psychological test, there is always the possibility that, instead of responding truthfully, individuals wish to present a particular view of themselves. To detect this, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), for example, has subscales to detect presenting a healthy self (faking good) and presenting a pathological self (faking bad). Research has supported the ability of people to fake the image that they present to others. For example, Braginsky, Braginsky and Ring (1969) demonstrated that schizophrenic psychiatric inpatients could chose whether or not to report major symptoms (such as hallucinations) depending on the expected outcome (being placed on a locked ward versus being released). In a second study, Braginsky and Braginsky (1971) found that adolescents in an institution for retarded could vary their mental age on intelligence by three years, again depending on the…

    Innocence of Tom Robinson

    Tom is an innocent man. Chopping wood and doing whatever he could for Mayella Ewell was Tom Robinson's only crime. Just like Boo Radley, he never harmed a soul. He risked his own safety by helping Mayella, and he did it because someone needed him. It was like a mockingbird being shot down when Robinson was accused of raping Mayella. To the people of Maycomb County, Tom Robinson is just a "sorry negro", who committed an unthinkable crime. Tom represents the black race in American society at that time and was a victim of racism.…

    Growing Up In An Abusive Home

    I went from being the younger of 2 kids to being the middle of 7 in a matter of 3 years. No longer was the attention on me because it was on my 3 new stepbrothers and my new stepsister. Then 2 days before my 7th birthday my mom had my little sister, which meant that I would have to share my birthday with her now. I was very resentful towards my little sister for many years after that. So yes, I was a defiant child and then the beatings started and I got worse. All I wanted was attention and I really did not care how I got it. I would back talk my mom; totally disrespect my stepfather, beat up on my sisters and lied to everyone regularly. When I would ask my mom if I could have a friend over, my stepfather would answer for her and that irritated me. When he would do that I simply looked at him and would say, “Is your name mom!” and then I would ask my mom again. She usually would say the same thing my stepfather said but I did not care. I know that on several occasions I threatened both my mom and my stepfather with violence and showed no remorse for it. Skipping school became a regular thing for me in high school and I rarely go caught. When I did though I would get very aggressive when my mom or stepfather would punish me. They later admitted to me that they were afraid of me but I already knew that. I could see how it would be hard to handle a kid like that but still it is no reason to abuse…

    Hate And Betrayal Monologue

    I'm at a loss with you Brittany like I said I'm beating myself up over what I've done to you so badly for me to feel the tremendous hate you have inside of you. You say you don't feel that way. But actions speak louder than words. I say that I wash my hands from all of this bs for a reason. I guess what I'm saying to you is, that when the day comes for you to accept me as your mother and find forgiveness in your heart ( which will only come if you share of my mistake in you). Then we can move forward with a mother and daughter relationship. As of this moment we don't even have a relationship. I have always expressed my love to you Brittany as its never been fake or superficial to you. If you have ever felt that, then you somehow need to work on letting your walls that you have built up over the years down. I'll forever love you until the day I pass. But I can assure you that I cannot be treated with disrespect and just having that gut feeling you cannot stand my presence. As I feel this every time I'm in your presence. You owe me nothing Brittany. I owe you nothing but my love for you I will forever cherish. Have a truly blessed evening. Love…

    A lot of things have changed me; some for the better, others for the worse. My father was an alcoholic before I was born and still is. Because of that I ended up becoming the second adult and parent to my brother two months before my third birthday when he was born. My mom was working back then and I ended up raising myself as well seeing as my father would drink until he passed out and if my brother and I were hungry he would give us a piece of gum and ignore us. He also has a horrid temper that's made worse by his drinking so for years he beat us. I remember it getting to the point that I was literally screaming and he's even gone as far as picking my brother up by the throat. When I was four the migraines started and they were happening daily. My health deteriorated since then and now I'm fifteen, starving to death, wracked with chronic physical pain so bad I've been cut and burned without noticing and we still don't know why. Back when I was four or five we moved and the guys in the neighborhood started beating me as well. I finally snapped one day and beat the guys back and people left me alone after that though my dad just gradually stopped hitting me without a confrontation. When I was fourteen I pissed him off and I seriously thought he was going to kill me. Luckily my mom was able to calm him down before he got to my room but I was waiting with a knife. There's so much hatred there that if he ever laid a hand on me I'd strike back ten fold. Because of all that I don't take **** from anyone and I no longer fear anything. I see no reason to fear things and thus I've become quite reckless. I'm persistant and stubborn now and at times I can be cold hearted. There are a lot of other things that occurred in my lifetime that have influenced different parts of me, but those are a few of the most prominent events.…
