chapter thirty one

Later that night I took Boo upstairs to say goodnight to Jem, then I walked him home. He went inside and I never saw him again. I tried to always look at the world through his point of view. When I got home Atticus was in our room. He took one of Jems books' off of the self and read to me until I went to sleep.

chapter thirty

I took Boo and we went and sat on the front porch while we listened to Atticus and Heck argue. Heck was trying to say that the death was accidental. Atticus on the other hand was arguing that Jem doesn't need to be protected by the law. The remark that I heard Heck make about the whole situation is "Let the dead bury the dead"

chapter twenty nine

I started to tell everyone what had happened. Then Sheriff Tate showed me the costume that had a knife hole in it. I told him about the man that carried Jem home and pointed to the man in the corner. I didn't really get a good look at him but when I did I noticed that it was Boo Radley.

chapter twenty eight

On the way to the pagent Cecil Jacobs jumps out of the bushes and scares me and Jem. When the pagent was over we heard a bunch of rustling behind us, thinking it was Cecil we kept walking. All of the sudden someone starts running behind us and Jem tells me to run. I started to but when I did my costume made me loose my balance. Jem came up behind me and started to drag towards the house. The attacker pulls him back and he begins sceaming. Once the screaming had ceased I crawled on the ground trying to find Jem, but out of the light I saw a figure carrying Jem home. I got there and told Aunt Alexandra and she calls Dr. Reynolds and Atticus called Heck Tate. Later, he informs Heck that Bob Ewell is laying under a tree with a knife stuck in his ribs, dead.

chapter twenty seven

Everyone is worried for their own safety because Bob has been stalking everyone that is connected to the case. The school play was tonight and I dressed up as a ham. Jem walked me to the school because Atticus and Aunt Alexandra were to tired to attend. Bob starts to walk behind Helen Robinson every time that she goes to town and whispers comments behind her back.

chapter twenty six

Today we learned in school about Hitler and how the holocaust became to be. The whole trial is still lingering with me. I brought it up around Jem and he went off on me. He became really mad and told me to never bring it up again. Right away, feeling afraid to say anything else I ran to Atticus for comfort.

chapter twenty five

September was rolling in and as me and Jem was sitting on the back porch a just happened to see a roly-poly bug moving across the porch. Jem told me not to smash the bug because it hadn't done anything to me. He was beginning to become more like a girl to me everyday. Jem had convinced Atticus to let us go with him and Calpurnia to the Robinson's house. Bob Ewell is overheard saying that since Tom is dead there "is only one down and about two more to go."
