Chapter 25


Questions:
1. Why do you think when we see insects, we want to squash them?
2. How Jem is becoming a girl by telling Scout why she is not suppose to squash the roly-poly?
3. Why does Jem want to go with Atticus?
4. Do you think Helen had feelings?

Literary Luminary:
Page 238 paragraph 4. This paragraph was interesting to read because the way how Scout is so impatient with jem growing up amuses me.
Page 239 paragraph 4. I chose this passage because it shows how badly the Negroes lived they were put way in the back futrther than thwe Ewells and it really just set the line.
Page 240 quote, "Scout,"said Dill, "she just fell down in the dirt. Just fell in the dirt, like a giant with a big foot just came along and stepped on her. Just ump-" Dill's fat foot hit the ground. "Like you'd step on a ant." I chose this because it made me realize how vunerable some people were in this time.



Summary:

Scout observes that it is Jem who is acting more and more of a girl not her. She thinks that because she found a roly-poly and was about to squash it, but then Jem said no don’t because the roly-poly didn’t harm her. Jem asks Atticus if he can go to Helen Robinson’s house with him to tell her about the news of Tom Robinson’s death. He goes with him and before they tell her she falls and Calpurnia and Atticus out help her. Maycomb was interested by the news of tom Robinson’s death for about 2 days. Dill goes because school is going to start.

Picture:
In this chapter Calpurnia and Atticus visit Tom Robinson's house to see Helen. Later on Mr Underwood writes in the papers how he feels about the injustice on Tom Robinson and how it was sinful to kill a cripple.
Scout then explains that Tom Robinson had no chance from the moment Mayella screamed. Tom's life was no longer in his control, his fate was sealed and when he tried escaping from prison he was trying to run away from his fate which was death.
