Eighteen years old is to young to be going to war, because some people are still living with their parents and they are you consider an adult until they move out of their parents house. I think that they should start letting people go to the army when the turn twenty-one, because that’s when you’re considered an adult.
Some people would like to go to college when they finish high school. If their name is pulled to go to war that means that they will have to go and they may not be able to go to college. I know that the army has a school that you can go to, but if we have to go to war you would be one of the first to go because you would be going to school there and you in the in army. You would have to be one of the people that would have to go to war.
You can’t drink alcohol until you’re twenty-one or considered an adult. If an eighteen-year-old drinks alcohol, it would be underage drinking. In that case you’re underage for going to the army because you’re not an adult until your twenty-one. I think that eighteen is underage for going into the army since eighteen is underage for drinking.
At the age of eighteen you’re not an adult but you do have a little freedom. Like you can go into clubs and everything but you can’t drink because you’re underage and you will go to jail. That’s why I think that if you are underage to drink then they shouldn’t let eighteen-year-olds in the clubs. But if they don’t have a bar in the clubs it will be ok to let eighteen-year-olds in the club. The only thing can I agree about is going, because you are old enough to know when you’re making dumb mistakes. If you do make dumb mistakes, you are old enough to make you’re own decision and you know what’s right and what’s wrong at the age of eighteen.
Now days you can’t buy a gun until your twenty-one years old and you got to have license to have the gun with you. If you go to the army they will give you a gun to shoot and there will be people under the age of twenty-one and they have a gun to shoot. The army has it that you can have a gun in the army when you’re under the age of twenty-one. When you go the army they give you a gun after the second month so they should let you have a gun at the age of eighteen.
That’s why I think that you shouldn’t have to go to the army at the age of eighteen. They should change it to eighteen you’re an adult if they keep things the way they are. If they have it to where you can go to war at the age of eighteen, they should start letting them drink and buy guns like a twenty-one year old.

Harper Lee
To Kill A Mockingbird
The name of y book is "To Kill A Mockingbird". This book was most about this little girl name Harper Lee and about her life when she was growing up. She was born in southwestern of Alabama in a town call Monroeville on April 28, 1926. Harper Lee was know as Nelle to her friends. When she was a little girl, two white girls in her town said that nine black boys raped them. The nine black boys were known as the Scottsboro boys. So that’s how she end up writing the book To Kill A Mockingbird. The book was about this man name Tom Robison and he was accused of raping this girl name Mayella Ewell.
When Harper Lee was five years old living in this small town name Monroeville. The first trail began the trails was about the two white women saying that the nine black men had rape them. The defendants were nearly lynched before the trail even begins and brought to court. The defendants did have a lawyer into the first day of trail, so they couldn’t even tell there lawyer what all went on. The medical testimony prove that the women had not been raped, but the all white jury found all nine boys guilty and all was sentence to death except the youngest one who was thirteen years old. The youngest one was sentence to life in prison. Six years of the subsequent trails saw most of these convictions repealed, and all men was freed or paroled except one escaped. Later that’s who Harper Lee ended up writing the book To Kill A Mockingbird.
The Scottsboro boys ages where from thirteen to nineteen and was accused of raping two white women, the women name was Victoria and Ruby Rates. The Scottsboro boys went to court they had a all white jury and they all were convicted to death excepted the youngest one of all nine boys. When Tom Robison went to court he had a all white jury and they seen that he only had one arm. That was his right arm and the girl was beaten on the left side of her face. The lawyer named Atticus had the girl father sign a paper and they seen that he use his left hand to sign the paper, but the jury still found Tom Robison guilty for raping Mayella Ewell. (When the jury found Tom Robison Judge Taylor was polling the jury: Guilty…guilty …guilty …guilty…"Scout peeked at Jem: his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each "guilty" was a stab between them.)
The Scottsboro boys later got an appeal and took it to a higher court, the Supreme Court was their sentences were overturned. Later one of the women denied being raped. All of the defendants were eventually acquitted, paroled, or pardoned except the one that escaped, some after serving years in prison. Tom Robison was the same way he got convicted with a white jury and his lawyer later try to appeal. It was no need t cause Tom Robison tried to escape from prison and got killed. (The guards called to him to stop. They fired a few shots in the air, then to kill. They said if he’d had two arms he’d have made it, he was moving that fast. Seventeen bullet holes in him.)

Entry #2
The name of my book is "To Kill A Mockingbird". I’m on the second part of the book and it’s mostly talking about Atticus and Tom Robinson going to court. Atticus is the lawyer and he is defending Tom Robinson. Tom is going to court because this man Name Bob Ewell say that Tom raped his daughter. When they end up going to court and after everybody testified Bob Ewell had end up beating his own daughter. They said that the girl had been beaten on the right side of her face and Tom didn’t have a left hand and her daddy was left hand. The jury found Tom Robinson guilt.
I think that was wrong and the judge know from all the information that they had that Tom didn’t do that. He could use his left hand because half of his arm was chopped off. Atticus got Bob Ewell to sign a paper and the judge seen that he was left hand, so I think that they was just trying to use him as a example of what they would do to a black man back in the days
