I wonder why colored people are treated differently I hear colored people getting called terrible names I see the truth in peoples' eyes I want Tom Robinson to be free I am strong and dependent I pretend to respect the white folk of Maycomb I feel like everyone should try to help each other in time of need I touch the railing of the colored balcony while leaning in to hear Judge Taylor gave the news I worry that colored people will never be treated equally as white people I cry only when no one is there to see my weakness I am strong and independent I understand that there is no way that Tom is guilty I say only the truth I dream that colored people will once be treated as normal human beings I try to help others because then they will help me when I need it I hope people will soon realize that disrespect will get you nowhere I am strong and independent

Dear Mom, I have just returned from trial for the Tom Robinson case. I don't understand why an innocent man is sent to jail because of his color. I have been trying to raise money for Tom's family. Some people refuse to donate, if they don't help then how can they expect other people to help them in time of need? Do you know Bob Ewell? He disgusts me! He is rude, untruthful, and an alcoholic. He beats up on his own daughter, Mayella and forces her to blame Tom Robinson. He has no respect for anyone or himself. I have been really stressed out lately because I am worried about my good friend, Tom. He is a hard-working, determined man and he deserves credibility. Well, I have to go. Bye, I love you. Your son, Reverend Sykes
