Rationale and Essential Question for Literary Study

How is justice best served, and does the legal system provide it? In this literary study, I will read through four books, and try to figure out how justice is served or if it’s actually served at all. How is the government trying to help society in the less fortunate communities with their problems that at a certain point become a vicious cycle?

Before the busing program began South Boston High School was one of the best high schools in Boston. When Judge Arthur Garrity decided to integrate the schools, South Boston High became a war between the whites and blacks. Mikey Faith a good friend of Kevin Weeks was stabbed in the stomach in front of the school library when the slayer was caught he was grabbed and sucker punched by Kevin Weeks and also by a cop which were both white. The next day things got worse three black girls walked into the bathroom while Pam, Kevin’s girl was in it and the black girls jumped the two white girls. Kevin went into the bathroom and broke up the fight, one of the black girl scratched his face which he need a tetanus shot for. After school a mob of white parents came and the black kid weren’t let out of school more of a safety issues because the cops believed that the parents were there for retaliation. With the busing program still going on, should they change it and stop the busing program?
