You are not gonna believe what happened to me yesterday. That damn Tom Robinson raped me!!! It all happened yesterday. I was minding my own business, on my porch and I see that man headin' towards my house. Earlier that day, my papa asked me to chop up an old chiffarobe for kindlin', while he is in the woods. I didn't feel strong enough to do it, so when I saw that black man come towards my house I signaled him over. I told him to chop it for me and I offered him a nickel. When I went in the house to get the nickel, I turned around an 'fore I knew it, that damn man was on me.
He put his hands 'round my neck and started to choke me. He was cussin' and sayin' bad things. I really fought'n' hollered, but that damn man was so strong. He had me 'round the neck and wouldn' let me go. I swear I thought I was gonna die. And if that wasn't enough, he started to hit me agin n' agin. Then he began to take advantage of me. I kicked and tried to get loose but he was just too strong. I hollered and hollered as loud as I could. I sort of blacked out after that. I just remember Papa comin' in a he called for Mr. Tate.
You should see me now. I got a black eye an' all sorts of bruises. I feel so violated and I want justice. That man needs to go to jail or die. I am takin' him to court and I am gonna testify against him. That damn man better get what he deserves.
