Help me with Gideon's Trumpet work?!?!?

Question

Can anyone tell me a web site or just give me an analysis/summary of each chapter of this book?

I really need help, I can't seem to get through this book, it's horrible!

By the way, it's for my 9th grade government class.

Answer 1

I never read the book, I watched the movie.  It is about a prisoner who was convisted because he did not know how to defend himself in court.  He studied the Constitution and laws in jail.  He eventually appealed his case and that is why people are now assigned lawyers for a trial if they cannot represent themselves.
