1.) Why does Atticus decide to defend Tom Robinson even when he knows he won't win the case? Do you think people today would do this?

Intro Practice
Practice writing your Intros. Write an intro with a clear thesis for the following prompts:
1.) In literary works, cruelty often functions as a crucial motivation or a major social or political factor. Select a work in which acts of cruelty are important to the theme. Then write a well-developed essay analyzing how cruelty functions in the work as a whole and what the cruelty reveals about the perpetrator and/or victim. (2015)
2.) In a novel by William Styron, a father tells his son that life "is a search for justice." Choose a character from a novel who responds in some significant way to justice or injustice. Then write a well-developed essay in which you analyze the character's understanding of justice, the degree to which the character's search for justice is successful, and the significance of this search for the work as a whole.
