Literature Analysis #1

The book is called 'Just Mercy' by Bryan Stevenson.It was based on real life story. It was about a lawyer who helped criminals that were falsely accused get out of prison. He later set up a program just for the people who were falsely accused. It was called the Equal Justice Initiative. In the book it talked about many people but it mainly focused on Walter McMillan. He was put on the death row. The theme was about having justice. The author who wrote the book, is the lawyer in book. I think he the type to wake early, get a cup of coffee, and leave early to get to work.The author used  characterization for the rich people and how they treat the poor. He says the rich disfavors, accuses and condemns the poor ones. Bryan said, "Each one of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done.We all need mercy, we all need justice."The symbol he always uses is mercy. He keeps talking about, how we all need mercy sometimes. That's how, we are going to survive.
