He was very interesting for when he came to work For when he came h had nothing , not even clothes , no money, no shoes , but he had something that no other slave had. What he had was knowledge, he knows how to read and write. The slaves name was John , and he offered Sarny that in exchange for chewing tabbacco he'll teach her how to read and write. As he taught her there were many hardships along the way , for it was not allowed for a slave to know how to read and write. As the story continues more and more things are told about the horrific endures of a slaves daily life , such as the gruesome whippings and how the after math of a whipping can lead to severe problems.

12 angry men
I believe that the 16 year old kid is guilty , i believe he ios guilty becaus eof the things that the prosecution brought up against the boy , there was evidence that all pointed towards the kid doing it , and also the fact that there was noone elkse that they knew that would be anothe rsuspect , also that the old lady saw him do it , and like one of the jurors said , she could have worn sunglasses a lot , and also!!! something that i realized just 5 seconds ago , did they not say that the past few eeeks have been hot and stuff? wouldnt it be bright if it was hot? and wouldnt you wear sunglasses if it were bright outside? and if u were hot and sweaty and u were wearing glasses it could leave those kind of marks on ur face easily. But if i was a juror , i would vote not-guilty becaus ei have a reasonable doubt that he is not guilty.
