Tom is a black man that got accused of raping a white girl in Maycomb Alabama. This town is suffering through hard times so the morales are already down. Some consequences that occur not only affect Atticus but also affect his children. They get bullied at school for their father defending a black man. Atticus takes Tom on as a client because he believes he is innocent. Mayella Ewell and her father blamed Tom for raping Mayella when in fact they were lying so her father said that he caught him doing it.
After the trial, Atticus’s kids get attacked by Bob Ewell and Boo Radley kills Bob and then brings them back to their house. The sheriff knows Boo Radley killed Bob but says that Bob tripped and fell on his own knife. A consequence of Bob Ewell is how karma came back around and took his life.

Phone vs. Feelings

The two things that I value the most being priced and priceless are my phone and spending time with someone thats means a lot to you. These two things are valuable to me because they mean alot to me and if I lost one of these valuables I’d go crazy without it.
My phone is always with me wherever I go. It never leaves my side and I’m always on it. I’m always listening to music on my phone wherever I am.  Music is my life and it helps me block out people and keeps me calm. My phone is the IPhone 4 with a red LifeProof case. I got my phone over the summer from my parents. I need my phone because it connects me to my friends and family. I was freaking out when my screen was getting fixed and i didn’t have it. I text my girlfriend all day everyday.
My girlfriend makes me feel like i can be myself around her. She makes me feel special. I love being face to face with her because I’m actually with her. I try to see her everyday I can but its hard because she goes to a different school. We do basically everything together and shes like my best friend that i can't live without. Shes valuable to me because she likes me for me and thats a good thing to me. My favorite to do with her is just to be with her.
My phone and my girlfriend are similar in many ways. For one, they both make me feel connected to people. Without my phone or my girlfriend my life would suck without them. I spend most of my time on my phone and being with her. They both make me happy and connected. My phone is basically attached to me and my girlfriend is almost always with me whenever we can be together.
The ways my phone and my girlfriend are different is my phone is a object and my girlfriend is a person. My phone is common and you can buy it almost anywhere but my girlfriend is one of kind, theres only one of her and shes mine. My phone doesn't make me feel anything because its just my phone but my girlfriend makes me feel special. If I was given the choice of picking my girlfriend or my phone, I’d pick my girlfriend because shes one of a kind and my phone isnt.
In conclusion, the two things that i value the most are my girlfriend and my phone. Even though my phone is something that I can buy easily, and my girlfriend isn’t, they're both important in my life equally. Even though I value them both, I value my relationship more than i do with my phone. If I lost my phone tomorrow I’d still value my relationship more. People are more important than phones or anything else.
