A Time To Kill
The book Im reading now is called "A time to kill". This book is mostly about a father who goes through tons of trials in court because he killed the 2 guys who raped his 8 year old daughter. I think that was very brave of him to do that. He knew he was going to go hrough all this trouble but yet he did it. Now normally you shouldn't take the law into your own hands. But in the time period of his book the father felt like he didn't have a choice. The little girl got raped by two white guys and she was white. Back then those guys would have walked out of jail pleading not guilty just because they were white. Mr. Hailey, which is the father, knew thats how it was going to work so he killed them. don't get me wrong mr. Hailey should go to jail. He did kill two guys. But at the same time it's not like those guys were innocent victims. They dealer with drugs and raped a little girl. Also mr. Hailey was a concerned father and lost his mind. So I think he shouldn't be punished. What do you think?

Noemi, I think that you should try to extend this post by putting in more of your own thoughts, now I'm too lazy to actually do that in my own posts so you dont have to listen to me, but you could try to go more in depth when you were talking about how the little girl got raped. Like, you could say what that made you think or how did you feel about the term rape coming into this book. You could try to talk about that a little bit more.
