What would you do if someone was being bullied right in front of you? Would you stand by and not do anything, or would you stand up and make a difference for that person? Mr. Raymond is definitely not that kind of person. He is a bystander not willing to put his opinion out into the open.
Mr. Raymond enters
the court with a wine bottle with a paper bag over it. So everyone believed he
was drunk, but he revealed to the kids that it was just a bottle of coca-cola.
Mr. Raymond tells the children that he pretends to be a drunk to provide the other
white people with an explanation for his lifestyle, when, in fact, he simply
prefers black people to whites.
He also reveals that
he believes that the racist side of Maycomb is the real side. So with that
being said, Mr. Raymond is fleeing his believes and does not want to do
anything about it. Mr. Raymond does not
want to change the town he has simply just given up. Even though he admires
Atticus he still doesn't want to change he is lazy and is the most cowardly
person I have seen.
Like we do in
school. When a student is not being treated fairly we have to stand up to the
bully even if he is big or stronger than you, someone has to stand up to him
and Mr. Raymond would not be the right person for that job.
This is real good. I like how you put you opinion in and gave proof to support your theory. You might want to consider some text evidence though. From what I know (had I not read the book) you could be making all this stuff up, right? Make sure that you correctly site it if you do consider using some.
