my opinion ie that i think he is a bystander,and upstander .he is a bystander because he seen how the prepetrators tuck his own nephew out of his house and he dint do nothing in that moment.he was a upstander because at court he point at the people that did the murder and know he dont feel save in money mississippi because he could be the next victim
ReplyDeletei think he was a bystander becasue he let hes nephew be taken away and he was a upstander because he point to the killer of hes nephew and he was also a victim because he lose hes home in money mississippi
ReplyDeleteI THINK THAT MOSES WAS A BYSTANDER AT FIRST BECAUSE THEY TOOK AWAY EMMITT.HE COULD OF STOP THEM AND SAY WHY ARE YOU TAKING HIM AWAY.BUT HE WAS A UPSTANDER ON THE COURT ROOM BECAUSE HE POINTED OUT THE VICTIMS.AND SAID THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBEL FOR THE DEATH THEY COMITED TO HIS NEPEW.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright can be an upstander and a victim. The reason I think that Moses can be an upstander because he took a stand and went to the trial and and pointed out the murders that killed his nephew Emmitt Till. I also think that Moses Wright can be a victim because Roy Bryant broke in the Wright's home and took his nephew out the house and shot him in the head.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was a bystander and an upstander. I think he is a bystander because when the guys came in the house with a pistol and asked for Emmitt, his nephew, and then took him away he didnt do anything. He is also an upstander because when they were in court he pointed out the person without any shame who killed Emmitt.I think he wasnt scared to point out the person because he probably felt safer with the judge and guards around him
ReplyDeletehee was a bystander because he didnt do anything wen they were taking emmit away and he was a upstander because he ttold the people who was the ones whoo killed emmit.he was the victim because he had to leave his home town from mississipi river.
ReplyDeleteI think that Emmet till was a bystander, upstander, and a victim. He was an upstander because he denounced the killer in front of the court even though he could have been hurt later on. But he was also a bystander because when white people took Emmet away he didn’t do anything to stop them from taking Emmet away. Moses was a victim too when he have to move away from his home because he was afraid of being killed by racists.
ReplyDeletehe was the bystander because he didnt do anything about it.and he was also the upstander because he told all of the peolpe what really happend to emmitt and he was the victim because he was kick out of his home town which was missisipi
ReplyDeleteI think he was both a bystander and an upstander. I think he was a bystander because he didnt do anything when the men came to take Emmitt away to kill him. I think he was an upstander because when he went to the court he pointed out the men who killed Emmitt.I dont think he was a victim because they didnt do anything to him only to Emmitt.
ReplyDeleteMoses was a bystander because he didmt do anything when the white people took Emmitt. but he is also an upstander because he pointed out the people who murder emmitt. moses is also a victim because after he pointed out who killed emmitt he wasnt save no more
ReplyDeleteI think that moses wright is an victim,bystander,and upstander because. He was a victim by letting the men come into his house and take his nephew away. He was an bystander because he just stood there and let the men take his nephew to kill him. He was an upstander because he went to court and pointed out the man who killed his nephew.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright is a bystander and a victim. Moses is a bystander because they came in with a pistol and ask for the boy and he didn’t do nothing to stop them. Emmitt was visiting his uncle when they came and took him. Moses is also a victim because they threaten him asking for Emmitt, and Moses lost a nephew. Moses couldn’t go back to Money, Mississippi because his life was in danger for pointing out Emmitt’s killers. Moses Wright is a bystander and victim of racism.
ReplyDeleteAfter learning of Moses Wright I can predict he was three things not just one. First he was a bystander. He left the two men take his nephew away and didn't even put up a fight. The he became a upstander by putting charges against the two men. Last he became a victim. He lost his home due to safety and he also lost his nephew. I can safely say that Moses Wright was those three things
ReplyDeleteI think that Emmitt Till was a upstander and a victim. Emmitt Till is a upstander because he pointed out the white men that killed his 14 year old nephew in front of a whole white jury. Emmitt Till is also a victim because now he wasn't safe to go back to his home in Mississippi because he was afraid of getting killed and because he lost someone that he really cared about and loved.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander because he didn't do anything when Roy and his friend took Emmitt. Hes an upstander because he went to the court and testified against the people who had killed his nephew Emmitt. Hes a victim because he had to leave his city and state because he put himself in danger for telling the judge who the killers of Emmitt were.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was a victim, bystander, and upstander. He was a victim because he lost his nephew but a bystnader because he just let them take Emmitt. It wasn't his fault though, he didnt know that the people would do such horrible things to Emmitt and kill him because he wasnt aware of whats going on. Moses Wright was also an upstander because he went to court and pointed out the killers even though he knew he would have to sell his home and never go back or else it could be very dangerous. In this situation he was brave and did the right thing even though he could of tried to stop them and given him up so easily but in the moment you dont really know what you should or shouldnt do.
ReplyDeleteI think that Mose Wright was a upstander because in the court room he told the judge everything that happened that night to Emmitt Till knowing if he said something he can get killed or something can happen to him or his family.
ReplyDeletehe was a bystander and a victim beacuse he pointed out the killers in court and he was a victim because he suffered to see the death of his nephew emmitt till
ReplyDeleteI think Moses was a bystander, upstander, and a victim. he was a bystander because when the people took away Emmitt Till he did nothing. He was an upstander because he pointed out the killers. He was a victim because the people killed his nephew. Moses was not a perpetrator because he didn't actually hurt anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe anwser this question already!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyways...After watching what happened to Emmitt Till. I thnk that His uncle, Moses Wright was a Bystander/Upstander/Victim. He was a Bystander because he watch As Roy took his Nephew with out him doing nothing. Moses was a upstander too b/c he Pointed out his nephew's killer. Another thing he was, was a Victim because he was a victim of Rascism and of losing a nephew.
i think moses wright is a he was all of them but the perpetrator because he was a bystander when he let the people take him away and he didnt do anything hes a victom because it was when they killed hes nephew.he was a upstander when he pointed out the killers.
ReplyDeleteMoses Wright was all three.He was a bystander, an upstander, and a victim. He was a bystander because he let the two men take Emmitt without a fight. He also was an upstander because in the court he pointed out the two men who killed Emmitt. At last he was a victim because he lost his nephew and his house.
ReplyDeleteMoses Wright was a bystander upstander and a victim.
ReplyDeleteMoses was a vitim because he lost his nephew.
He was also a bystander because he didnt fight the men who took his nephew,and he was an upstander because he was brave enough to point out his nephews killer in court.
I think Moses wright was a bystander because he had let the murders go in his house and get Emmitt, with out saying nothing. Moses was a bystander because even though he tould everything in the cortroom, he still let them all ge his nephew.
ReplyDeletei think he was an bystander,upstander.He was a bystander because he saw the guys take his nethew and he did not do anything about it.He was an upstander because he told in the court who were the poeple who did that to his nethew.
ReplyDeleteWat I think was that moses was a bystander when that white guy kid napped Emmitt Till because Moses could of done some thing like try to defend Emmitt from that white men.Another thing he could of done was to call all black people and tell them that they took Emmitt to murdere him. I think if they would of knew before they murder him they could of save by calling police....
ReplyDeleteMoses wright was a upstander,bystander,and a victim.He was a upstander because he told the court who were the killers who killed emmitt.He waz also a bystander because he left emmitt without a fight.At last he waz a vicyim because he lost his house and his nephew.
ReplyDeleteWell i think Moses Wright is a upstander. the reason i think he is a upstander is because he went up to the guys and said "they were the ones who killed my newphew". Knowing his live will be in danger. he told his story and was honest he told them all. he wasnt afarid to tell them what had happpen. he did everything he can do to help his newphew. i was brave to do that and his is why i think moses is a upstander. he is very brave to do this
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was a bystander, upstander, & a victim. I think he was a bystander because he let the Roy guy take Emmitt with no reason, & didn't put up a fight. He was an upstander because he showed up at the court house, even if he was being threatned by people in the state, & directly pointed at the killer, knowing it could get him killed, as well. He was also a victim though, because he was being threatned, & had to leave the state in order to save his life.
ReplyDeleteI is done. ^-^
I think that he was a bystander,upstander,and a victim. He was a victim because they took his nephew away from him. He was a bystander because he let them and watched roy take him and didn't do nothing about it.And at last he was a upstander because he point out roy that he was a killer. So thats what i learned about about Emmitt Till murder.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright is a bystander, upstander & a victim all at the same time. I think he is a bystander because he didn't fight the men when they came for Emmitt. I think he is an upstander because at court he pointed the men out that took his nephew. Moses is a victim because his nephew was killed.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was an upstander and a victim.I said that he is a victim because they took his nephew from his house by force and then kill his nephew.Also he is an upstander because when they went to court he pointed out the two persons that kill his nephew.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was an upstander and a bystander . Moses was a bystander when he let Ryan Bryant and the other guy take Emmitt Till without a fight. He didn’t try to defend his nephew, he just let them take him. He could have gone with him to see what they were going to do him or called for help. Moses was also an upstander though. Even though he was an African American, he stood up and accused a white man of murder, even though by doing that he was risking his life.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander when the white person came to take away emmitt till. Moses wright was a bystander because he didn't mind the white person to take emmitt till, he could of said something to the person, like why are you taking him. I also think he was an upstander because when he was in court he told who killed emmitt till.
ReplyDeletei believe moses wright was a bystander because when roy bryant and his asistant came to the house and took emmit, moses didnt do anything when they took his nephew. moses was also a upstander because he stood up for his nephew in court against the people who killed emmit till.
ReplyDeleteI say that Moses Wright is all of them because he did all of them. Bystander because he didnt do anything when they took Emmitt away from his house. Hes a perpatrator because same reason as the bystander. A upstander becasue he spoke up and say who were the killers on the court room. And a victim because he was responcible for Emmitt Till's death.
ReplyDeletei believe that moses was a bystander because he did not do anything on the day of the muredered ,emmitt,and he was a upstander because he was helping the family because emmitt was his nephew.
ReplyDeleteI think that Emmitt Till
ReplyDeleteis a bystander. I think he is a bystander because he let the white guys come and take mosses. But then he was a up stander because he pointed out the guys that did it in the court. For doing this action he lost his home, but for letting the guys take the boy without a fight he lost his nepew.and his whole family because he doant live in money Mississippi any more.
i believe moses is a bystander, upstander, and a victim. i think this because he was just watching the guys take his nephew away with out asking questoins. i think he is a upstander because he pointed out the killers.he is a victim because he was threatened to get killed if he returns to Money, Mississippi.

ReplyDeletemoses wright was a bystander because he just let white guy take him and he was the victam because they kicked him out of his home from mississipi and he is a upstanderd because he stood up and pointed at the people who killed emmit till
ReplyDeleteI think he was a bystander and an upstander. He was a bystander because he let them take Emmitt Till he didnt do anything to stop them while he could have done something. He is an upstander because when in the court he stood up and pointed out the people that took Emmitt till away and killed him.
ReplyDeletei think that Moses was a bustander and a upstander. he was a bystander because he dirent do nothing wen they came for his nephew with a gun he just turnd him in like nothing. then he became a upstander wen wen he went to court and stop up and pointed out his nephews murderers. even do they were set free people know who to watch out from.
ReplyDeleteI believe that what I had learned about Emmitt Till I think that Moses Wright was an Bystander, Upstander, and a Victim because as for an Bystander when the 2 men had came to his house that the night and ask for Emmitt Till Moses Wright had just let him come in the house and take him without an fight. For an Upstander after the 2 men had killed Emmitt Till in that court Moses had came back home and when up and point out to the white mens and said that they had came to my house and took Emitt Till. As for an Victim Moses could no longer go to his house after standing and pointing out the 2 men that killed Emitt Till because it was not safe for him in the south anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was a bystander and an upstander. i think he was a bystander because when the guys came to his house, he didnt say anything while they were taking Emmitt Till away. then he ran away because he knew what was gonna happen so he left Mississippi. I think he was an upstander because he later came back to Mississippi and stood up for his nephew in court an told the people all the truth...
ReplyDeleteMoses Wright was a bystander,upstander,victim and a perpetrator. He's a bystander because he just let ehe white men take his nephew witch lead to the killing. He's a upstander because he went to the court n told the judge that those where the men that killed his nephew. He's a victim of a brutal raciam againt his culture. He's a perletrator because he juet the men in his house at night and just take his nephew and kill him.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander and an upstander. He was a bystander because he didn't do anything when Emmitt was being taken away. But he was an upstander because when they were in the court, he pointed out the people that killed Emmitt. I think he was brave because not everybody has enough courage to point out those people that did something.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Moses Wright was a bystander at first because he lead the me right to Emmit and just stood aside watching hoe the 2 white men took him, but then he turned a upstander because he did what no other black man had ever done. He pointed his finger at a white man and accused him of a crime and he still lived.
ReplyDeleteBased on what I seen Moses Wright was a bystander,victim.and an upstander.He is a bystander because he saw the men take Emmitt and did nothing but watch the wrong doing be done to Emmitt.He is at the same time a victim because he did loose his nephew.Moses Wright is in myh eyes also an upstander because he pointed out the killers knowing no justice was going to be done during the trial leaving the killers free and could potentially hurt him for ratting them out.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was an upstander and a bystander. he was a bystander because when the guys came to his house he idnt stop the guys from taking Emmitt. then he ran away from Mississippi because he knew what was gonna happen. He was a upstander because he came back to defend Emmitt in the court an tell all the truth.
ReplyDeleteI think he was a bystander and a prepetrator. Because wile everything was happeing he was just their and he didn't do anything. Then in the prepetrator he was the cause of it. They came to go and see him and do all those horribel things to him. So yeah , that's what Moses Wright was.
ReplyDeletei think moses is a bystander because he didnt do anthing wen they took his nephew away. his a upstander because he went to court and accused the guy that killed Emmitt Till even though he was a black man and he pointed and accused the white man.
ReplyDeleteI think Emmitt Till was a victim and also a perpetrator.I think he is a victim bacause he suffered because now one in the jury believed him and he also lost his nephew.He is a perpetrator because he saw how the men took his nephew away and did nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright is a upstander, bystander, & victim. He was a upstander because he pointed out the killers. He was a bystander because he didn't fight the killers when they took his nephew. He is also a victim because he witnessed the crime. I think it was sad what they did to the boy only because he didn't know any better.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think Moses Wright was a by-stander,a victim,an up-stander.He falls under the category up-stander because during the court case Moses pointed out all the murderes.He is a victim because he lost one of his loved ones,his family,and his blood.He is a bystander as well because when the white people came to get Emmit,Moses just let them take his grandson,even without a fight,because he didnt want anything to happen to him aswell.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander,upstander,and victim because the men went to his house with a gun and took emmitt,and he said who where the men that came to his house and took emmit,and a victim because he can never go back to money missispi.
ReplyDeleteMoses wrigth was both a bystander and a upstander he upstanded to the racist men but he knew his nephew emmit till died by these men.Emmit till did nothing bad only talk back to a white lady which gothim in some bad troubleonly because he was a colored child.
ReplyDeletei think Moses Wright is a upstander even though he let the white mens take Emmitt Till. moses shows he a upstander because he stand up and pointed and yelled out in the court room that there were the murders that have kiled an innocent boy.
ReplyDeleteWell, in my opinion, I believe that Moses Wright is 3 of the available criteria, he is a bystander, a victim, and finally, an upstander. Moses Wright was a bystander when they took Emmitt away from him, (and by them, I mean the white men who knocked at the door at night), without even saying where they were going to take him.
ReplyDeleteMoses Wright was on the other hand an upstander when he pointed out the “killers” in court. No one else pointed the men out other than Moses at the time. That made Moses an upstander.
Out of all, Moses was also a victim because he lost a close nephew, he was killed for just a mistake, Moses was an official victim to this Heinous crime. He lost a blood relative. That is why Moses is also a victim.
I believe moses is a upstander and a victim because he was the one that saw how they took his nephew and how they tortured him.he is also a upstander because when they went to court he pointed them out who killed his nephew.he was also a bystander because he saw the white men take his nephew away from him and did nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteBased on the video i think that Moses was an upstander and a bystander at the same time.The reason why i think he was an upstander was because in the court room he pointed out the killers and he was a bystander at the same time also because when the white men came for Emmitt he didn't do anything to prevent it from stoping it .
ReplyDeletethat in hte video emmitt till,he was an upstander emitt because he pointed out the killers and that he helped out .which he helped and that he is an bystander by that he didnt do anything when he saw what was happening .also in the video emmitt till was upstander because at the court room he pionted out the killers in the video.and at the same time the white men were there nervous.this was i think emmitt is an upstander and an bystander.
ReplyDeletei think that mosses is a bystander and an upstander because when the white men came to take emmit till he just didnt react or do nothing im not sure but what if he was in shock or something but that still mayed him a bystander for not being able to do anything to help.so based on that it mayed him a bystander but when the court was takinig place he got the steaght to tell what had happend the day emmit till was murdered.knowing that he will be in great danger if he confessed he still did it so that mayed him an upstander and he was also a bystander.
ReplyDeleteMoses Wright is a bystander,perpetrator,upstander,and a victim.
ReplyDeleteHe was all of them because he was a bystander when the white men were taking Emmitt Till from Mose Wright's house, he didn't fight for Emmitt Till. He was a perpretator because he let the white men take his nephew,causing him to die. He's an usptander because he testified towards the men. He let the judge know that it was those white men who came to take Emmitt Till from the house and possibly being the ones who murdered Emmitt Till. Also he's a victim because he lost his nephew..
I think Moses Wright was a Bystander and an Upstander because he didn't do nothing when they came and took away Emmitt Till. He is also an Upstander because he was the one that pointed out who killed Emmitt Till.
ReplyDeletei think that moses was a bystander and a upstander. i say a bystander because he let the two men take emitt away without him doing anything about it. i think that he knew that they were going to hurt him so he didnt stand up for emitt because he didnt want to get hurt. after that he leaves his home because he is scared that he will get killed. then he becomes an upstander when the state puts him in hide and haves him to testify and whent to the trial and pointed the two men that killed emitt, but eehh it was not enough o win the trial
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was all four of them. A bystander,upstander,victim and a perpetrator. The reason he was a bystander was because he left the white men take his nephew which also makes him a perpetrator because he did wrong. If i was him i wouldve stopped them.He was an upstander because he pointed out the murders of Emmitt Till without any doubt. This all makes him a victim because his nephew got killed and he really suffered because he will never see him again. Based on that information i think Moses Wright is a bystander,upstander,victim and a perpetrator.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright was a victim and an up stander. For one thing he was not aware of what was going on when the white man came to take Emmitt. I also think he was an up stander the fact he testified against the man who he saw Emmitt was last with. In the process he had to leave the town because the towns people would have probably assault him for testifying. So this means he was a victim in the process in being an up stander.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Moses Wright was a combination of a bystander and a victim. He is a bystander because he let the men take Emmitt Till away when he was in his house. He could have stood up for him, called the police or done something about it but according to the film and what I have read Moses Wright let them take Emmit Till without fighting back. But i think he is somehow a victim because he knew even if he tried fighting them back he was never going to win and he could of goten killed like Emmit Till or get in trouble afterward. He is also a victim because after he pointed the murderes out he wasnt safe and he knew he had to get out of his home. But it still does not make him an upstander because when he tried doing something about it he knew it was too late.
ReplyDeleteI think he was a bystander, an upstander, and a victim. I think he was a bystander because he just stood there and let the white men take Emmitt. If he would of done something maybe the turn outs would of been different or something. He could of saved Emmitts life! He was also a victim because he lost his nephew and a bystander because he was putting himself in a lot of danger for him to say something. Since he was an eyewittness the white men could of sent someone to kill him or something thats why they had to put him out in hiding
ReplyDeleteHe is all of the above because he is a vicyim since he lost his home and isnt safe to live in Monye, Kansas.He is also a perpitrator since he let the men take emmitt.Heis alsoan upstandard because he pointed out the killers but until later. He is also a bystandard because he didnt point out the killers until they werealready found.
ReplyDeletei think that he is an upstander and a bystander, because he pointed at the guy who took emmitt and he didnt say anything about it
ReplyDeletei think he is a bystander because he just watched his nephew get caried out wihtout anything to do about it. and if he would have said or done something. i also think he is an upstander because he came back to money mississippi to confront the murdres.even though he knew he can get killed by pointing at white guys,and protecting his nephew.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was an upstander because he could've backed down at any time and not testified against the two men. Even though he did allow the men to take the boy, he stood up and pointed them out. This is what makes Moses's Wright and upstander because of his generous heart he tried his hardest and did what he could do.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I know, I think that Moses Wright would act as both a bystander and upstander of the killing of Emmitt Till.Wright would be part a bystander because he would not say anything that the accused people of the murder of Till would be in the scene of the murder.He also acted as part of a upstander because he really did do something in the court by pointing at the people who may have killed Emmitt Till. These would be the terms describing Moses Wright from the killing of Emmitt Till.
ReplyDeletei thought itt was krassey when emmitt till was tAken away and his uncle was just being a bystander and didnt doo nun about it it got me pistt WHEN they showed the white men take him out like nothing I THINK IT WAS JUST DUMB
ReplyDeleteI think that mosses wright was a bystander,victim,perpetrator,and a upstander because he saw what was happenin to emmit till and new some stuff of emmit till also he talked for him and stood up.He was one of the victims that were trying to kill and beate emmit till. Mosses was also a perpetrator because he was going against emmit till. He was an upstander because he stood up for him and decided to say what was happening an what he saw.
ReplyDeletei think he is a bystander and a upstander because he saw when they took Emmitt Till and didn't do anything to help him.But he was a upstander when the 2 men that killed Emmitt were send to trial he pointed out that those 2 men took Emmitt & killed him.so he was both a upstander and a bystander because of his actions he took.
ReplyDeleteMosses Wright was both a bystander and a upstander.He was a bystander because the day the guys went to get Emmitt Till to Mosses Wright house he didn't try to stop the guys from taking him away.By the other side he is a upstander too because he pointed out the guys who killed emmitt during the court,he was brave enough to stand and point them out.He also was kind of a victim because the guys might have threatened him thats why he didn't fight back.:|
ReplyDeletebystander bescause he saw what happen to his young nephey. He let the man take his nephew alway he saw them put emmitt in the car.Also he want to get him also he is a upstander because he want to the court house to tell his story what happen the night when his nephew died.
ReplyDeletei think that his a bystander because he left his nephew to the white man to kill him but he also he went to testifiy because they killed his nephew.he Also was brave because they could of killed him for testifiying
ReplyDeleteI think that moses let emmitt till go with the people who kill him but moses in the next day he went to a trial and point who was the killer of his nephew and i think moses was a upstander because he loves his nephew and he won't let nobody be free...
ReplyDeleteI think that moses wright was a upstander because he loves his nephew and he point at the people who kill his nephew at the trial.It was a brave thing to do because he could be kill at the trial.
ReplyDeleteHE ISA BYSTANDER AND UPSTANDER AND VICTIM BECAUSE THE WAY HE WAS DEFENDING THE DEATH OF HIS NEPHEW AND HOW HIS NEPHEW HAS A VICTIM OF RACISM.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright is a bystander because he didn't do anything when Emmitt Till was being beat up by white guys. He just watched and then later he found out Emmitt Till was killed and burned. Moses Wright was also a victim because he had to leave his hometown because of the murderer of Emmitt Till.
ReplyDeleteI believe Moses Wright was a bystander and an upstander. I believe he is a Bystander because he just allowed them to go in a take Emitt without a fight. Had he tried to stop them he could have lived. Moses was an upstander because he went back to Mississippi even though he knows he could get killed and pointed out Emmitt`s killers in front of the court.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander because He knew who had killed his uncle ,I think Moses Wright should of said something the day of the court because the 2 guys who got away with Emmitt Till's murder should of been sentenced to life or should of faces critical conseuqences . If I was the Uncle , Moses Wright , I would of been the first to of said something because the way they destroyed Emmitt Till's body was really sad for me .
ReplyDeletei think moses wriwht was a bystander because he tried to save his nephew
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses was a bystander, upstander and victim. I think he was a bystander because he did not try to stop the white men from taking his nephew and if he at least tried Emmitt might have lived. I think he was a upstander because he pionted out the white men that took Emmitt from his house. He was a victim because Moses lost his house and he had to laeve the state because he was no longer safe in Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteAfter having learned about Emmitt Till and the actions of Moses Wright i think that he was a upstander beacus he tryedk to help victims out of gettin tortured.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a mixture of bystander and upstander. Moses was a big bystander when the white men came into his house and took his nephew Emmitt Till. Moses just saw the white men take Emmitt, stood there, and didn’t do anything about it. I also think that he was an upstander because he had the courage to stand in front of the men that he knows were the murderers of nephew and point at them saying that they had taken Emmitt.
ReplyDeletei think that he was a bystander and what happen is is that he was a brave man that
ReplyDeletewas able to say who he knew who killed the nephew. And by that he got his live becouse if he wouldent said nothing the bad guys were going to beat him up.
I believe Emmit Till is a bystander and a Upstander! Your probably thinking how can he be both.? Well he was. He was a bystander when the white men came to his house and just took his nephew!! Imagine that being you,he didnt do a thing.He was also a upstander when they were at the court house he did point put the white men who took his nephew.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was a bystander because he just wached and he didn't do anything about it. He was a victim because he lost Emmitt. plus he was an upstander because hetold he spoke out telling who were the people who did that to Emmitt.
ReplyDeleteI think Moses Wright is a bystander and an upstander,because he could have lied to the guy who was looking for Emmitt.He is sort of an upstander because he participated in being interviewed after Emmitt Till's murder.He had courage to state who had killed his nephew. I still think he could have done more when the white men took Emmitt.
ReplyDeleteI think that Moses Wright was some of the above. I think he was a bystander because when the two men came to take his nephew Emmett Till he didn't do anything about it he just stood there like nothing was happening. I believe Moses Wright was also an upstander because at court he pointed out the two men that took his nephew at midnight infront of all those white people. I also think that Moses Wright was a victim because of all the pain those two men caused him when they killed his nephew that didn't know what he was doing at the time. Not only the pain but that he was in danger if he went back to Mississippi Money because all the people there would try and do something bad to him. I think that how the trial was runner wasn't rigt at all. They should have done it based on the evidence.
ReplyDeleteBased on what i learned about the situation, I think that Moses Wright was an Bystander, Upstander, and a Victim. Moses was a bystander because when two men had come to his house that the night and knocked on his door, asking for Emmitt. Moses should have been a man and told them he wasn't home, or he went back to his house. Moses was an upstarder because when the two men where in court, moses though uneducated stood up and pointed to them, when the judge had asked if the two men that took Emmitt were in the court house. Moses was also a victiam. Moses was a victiam because he lived in a segergated country. Moses was a victiam because he couldn't return to his home out of fear of being killed, or harmed. Based on what i learned, Moses Wright was a bystander, an upstander and last but not least, a victiam.
ReplyDeleteI think that Emmet till was a bystander, upstander, and a victim. He was an upstander because he denounced the killer in front of the court even though he could have been hurt later on. But he was also a bystander because when white people took Emmet away he didn’t do anything to stop them from taking Emmet away. Moses was a victim too when he have to move away from his home because he was afraid of being killed by racists.

which i think that emmit hill is mostly bystyander ,and an upstander because she has done things the were right but also wrong.also because anupstander because she deanouced the killer , when the white people took they could have hurt her if she would of said something in court.Also an by stander because she followed the erder and felt humiliated by dion gthe things but eather way she did them.and she participated on the interwiew of emiitt which she was an bystander there.this is what i think ...
ReplyDeleteFrom my viewpoint I believe Moses Wright was 3 of them.
ReplyDeleteHe was an upstander, victm, bystander. He was a bystander by allowing the white men to take Emmitt Till,He could have prevented his death but he didn't. He was an usptander because he testified and accused the men responsable for Emmet Tills death. Also he's a victim because he lost his nephew.
I believe Moses Wright's intentions weren't to get his nephew killed and he felt guitly.
I say Mosses was a bystander because he let those white people kill Emmett Till.It dosent mater if he testifided against those white people for killing Emmett,Emmett is now dead because his uncle Mosses didnt stop the white people.If he could of done something who knows Emmett could of been alive by now.Because of Mosse`s actions Emmett is now dead this is why I say Mosses is a bystander.
ReplyDeletei think Moses was a bystander,up stander,and a victim.i think he was a bystander because when the men that went to his house to take his nephew Emmit he didn't do anything about it he just stood there watching the men take him away.i think he was an up stander because when he went to court he told on the men who had taken his nephew away not caring that he might go to jail.i think he was a victim because after he told on the men who killed Emmit he had to move to another place to stay where he would be safer cause the men wanted to kill him.
ReplyDeleteBased on Emmitt Tills case and Moses Wrights actions, I believe his uncle Moses wright was a whole combination of a bystander, upstannder, and victim. I strongly believe he was a bystander because he decided to do no thing against the perpetrators taking Emmitt Till. I also believe he was an upstander because after all he decided to accuse the perpetrators as Emmitt Till's murderers. And last but not least I believe he was a victim too because he knew what will happen to him if he had stopped the perpetrators from taking Emmitt Till. Therefore I can conclude that Moses Wrights was a frustrated victim because if he died too, then no one will find out who murdered Emmitt Till. So he needed to make a decision whether helping (upstander) and dying too (victim) or not helping (bystander) and then accusing the murderers for their sentence in jail (upstander). Then he decided to not help(bystander) and then help (upstander).
