Intrapersonal
Write a diary entry for a major character of the novel:

Dear dairy,

I am very confused, during the trial I could almost confirm that we have won the case, how did it end up like that? What is wrong with these adults? I always heard from father that the court was a fair place, so why is it the whites are always treating the blacks unfairly? We are all folks, so why cant we get along with each other? It really hurt me how Tom Robinson was treated in the court. I was very sure father had very much proven the fact that Tom could not have possibly rape Mayella, knowing this, how could the jury still convict Tom? It just isnt right. Something has to be done!
