To take a stand means to fight for what one believes in. Some organizations that take a stand for what they believe in are political parties. This group fights politically for the bills and laws that their party wants through things like speeches everyday. The democratic party re recently fought for a healthcare bill last year and are still trying to get universal healthcare.
Tom Robinson took a stand for his life when he tried the escape the cultches of the police when he attempted to scale the fence but
was shot before he could get out. The only other alternative Tom has is to stay in custody of the police and wait through meaningless trials. I say meaningless because the was no chance if him being found innocent. Tom would have been killed either way.

Intro talk for TKMB
4)All citizens are treated equally under our justice system. No matter who they are, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, male or female, there are a standard set of laws that apply to everyone. Even senators can be, and are subject to the same laws a black man is in the court. There have been senators arrested for DUIs like anyone else would. Celebrities have also been arrested for DUIs and drug use.
1) Girls don't need to act like girls, they have the right to do whatever they want. My sister is not your typical girl. She is a very active girl who would have gone skydiving had it not been for bad weather. In many movies, girls are portrayed as people who don't like anything dirty or active like sports that most boys are expected to like. Girls can act how they want.

Moth Radio Response
1- I liked the story because of the speaker. He made the story come alive with personality by the way he portrayed the characters. The kid was given the annoyed voice and was attacking the officers with accusations of being racist. I thought that they were being racist because the kid was simply sitting on the Black man's bicycle and even confirmed the man's story when they asked the two of them.
2- The officers speak to the two of them very differently. One spoke to Noah in a very kind and trusting tone and the other spoke very harshly towards Cleveland telling him to be quiet and not to look at Noah.
3-Both Noah and Cleveland speak politely towards and they also say the same thing about why they were there
5- The officers believe Cleveland when they call the White mother and ask why they were there.
6- The officers assume that Cleveland is doing bad even though there is no evidence that he is and much evidence that he was not much like TKMB.
