Katherina's Soliloquy

she mentions that women are naturally weaker then men physically, and they should not try to put up a fight. she says that men go to sea and out in the dangerous world to proved for women while they sty safe at home and that they should give them peace when they are home.  she mentions that they should be obedient to their husbands. she did not mention anything about the mental situation of a married couple though. she probably believes that even though the men are physically superior the women and men are equal if not the women are smarter

Act IV, A Shrew is as a Shrew Does

Curtis your master has been showing shrew like behavior in attempt to tame his Kate. To tame a shrew one must perform a mirror image of a shrew to the shrew. This behavior is only an act he is not really a permanent change. By out "shrewing" kate, your master thinks he might be able to change her.

The fear she will develop towards her husband will hopefully be enough to tame her.  He will tame her by tormenting her till she crakes. this process wot take long hopefully. After Kate seems to be polite and kind he will go back to normal. If he still shows this behavior see me because he might be experiences some further psychological problem relating to the withdrawal from love.

Point of view

Atticus writing in his journal

I did everything i could, the truth was told but the jury was just to blind to see it. it is a disgrace that they let race get in the way of justice, they did not do their job right. i wish i could do more to help that innocent man. that family is going to suffer now and that is not right. i do not blame Mayella though, she is just a scared girl who is afraid of the truth.

Maybe if tom didn't say "i felt sorry for her," we would of had a chance. the jury hated the thought of a black man pitying a white women. this is just sad, one day i hope trials like this will be handled he proper way. the one thing about that trial that makes me sick to my stomach is that scout was there, at least this will benefit her one day. she was too young to her that, at least she knows the truth.   

TKAM the beginning of a trail

I would take the case. He has a write to a layer and if he believes he is innocent he deserves to be heard. he is a nice person with no criminal record their is defiantly something to work with to help prove he is innocent. he had no witnesses that can say he is innocent which means their are no witnesses to prove that he is guilty. for all the people who would look down on me as a person are wrong, if they don't like me as a person because I am a self respecting layer that is their problem they shouldn't make it personal. i am not defending the man cause he is my friend, i am defending him because he needs and has the right of representation. 

this is very similar to the case of Tom Robinson in TKAM. Atticus is faced with the same problem. he and his family are going to have to suffer social outcasting for defending a black man. Tom is not going to win his case but Atticus as a lawyer needs to take his case. if he didn't take the case he could not be considered a self respecting lawyer anymore. the time of slavery was over and the man had a right as a person to a lawyer. the controversy of this case makes it similar to the case in my previous paragraph.
