Chapters 22,23,24, 25 and 27

Bob Spits at Atticus

It has gotten pretty bad around Maycomb lately. It all started when Bob Ewell threatened Atticus and then spat in his face. Mr. Ewell was still bitter and holding a bad grudge over Atticus for making him look bad during the trail and helping Tom Robinson. Of course, Atticus was mature about the situation and stayed calm, since he is the better man. Afterwards when Atticus came home and told us all about it, Aunt Alexandra, Jem and I were all very nervous that Mr. Ewell would follow through with his threats. Atticus told us not to worry though, and that that would be the worst of it, but boy he was wrong. In August, Atticus brings the bad news that Tom Robinson was shot several times while trying to escape from the prison. After this event happened, someone overheard Bob saying the words "One down and about two more to go..." And I'm afraid to think that Atticus might be one of those two people.

Bob Ewell

In more recent events,  Judge Taylor has spotted Bob Ewell following Tom's wife, Helen, to work. Judge Taylor threatened Bob by saying if he didn't leave Helen alone, he would have him arrested,  and since then their hasn't been any other problems. Aunt Alexandra is still worried, and I think I still might be too. But enough about the bad things that have been happening around here. Good news is that this Halloween, their is a party and a play at the school! I'm dressing as a ham, and me and Jem are going together. Finally things are looking up.
