You are tom robinson . today is the first day of your trial . the courtroom is packed . you just watched everyone march in from your cell windows .pretend your wife just called right before the trial begins describe the courtroom environment to her . what do you see

This is how I'd do it:

"That's it, Honey. They're all here. Most are men, all are white and angry, it seems. There's no many people here that I can see people standing. There aren't enough sits. It makes me wonder: why did they come? People usually go to events that make them happy, right? Are they happy to see a black man on trial? I'm innocent, but it seems they don't care. They just want to get it done. The air is heavy and there's an awkward mix of silence and gossip. People don't move much. They all seem tense. It feels like the light got a bit dim with all this bad sensation that they emanate from those wooden benches."

the aksumite empire was an ancient kingdom located in what is now northern ethiopia from the period of 100 ad to 940 ad. its capital was the city of aksum. the kingdom established itself as one of the 4 great powers at its time, along with persia, rome, and china.

the kingdom was rich in goods like gold, iron, and salt. it established strong commercial ties with the regions governed by rome, egypt, and persia (arabia). aksum was a key location in this commercial network. trade was also facilitated with the introduction of the aksumite currency.
