Chapter 28


Questions:
1. I think this is the scariest chapter of To Kill a Mockingbird, what’s your opinion about this chapter? Why?

2. Discuss what maybe happened?

3. What would you do if you were Jem and Scout? Discuss your answers.

4. Who do you think killed Bob, why?


Summary:
On the way to school it is dark so Jem and Scout walk there. When they are on the way, Cecil Jacobs scares them. Then Scout sleeps while the play is on and the women in charge gets mad and Scout feels ashamed. After they go home they hear noises and think it was Cecil again but then they are been chased. So then Jem gets hurt and Scout becomes really scared. Scout goes home and Atticus calls Heck Tate and tells him someone has attacked his children and Aunt Alexandra calls Dr. Reynold. Aunt Alexandra tells Scout that Jem is just unconscious not dead. Dr. Reynold arrives and goes in Jem’s room and when he goes out of the room he tells Scout that has a broken arm and a bump on his head. Heck Tate then arrives and tells Atticus that Bob Ewell is lying under a tree stabbed under his ribs and dead

Literary Luminary: Page 254 paragraph 3. This clearly shows that Jem and Scout have grown up over the time.
Page 259 paragraph 1.This tells me that Jem is kind of worriedand he cares about his little sister and wants her to be safe.
Page 260 paragraph 1. I picked this because i really like how this was written and it set a great setting.
Page 266 quote, "Bob Ewell's lyin' on the ground under that tree down yonder with a kitchen knife stuck up under his ribs. He's dead, Mr. Finch." This was a schock to me but not trluy surpising. It makes me think about who could of done it and the first person that came to my mind was Arthur Radley(Boo). Why? If you look back on how it was most likely that he helped out the kids near that same tree. Like at the fire and when they foung all this cool stuff in the tree. It gives Boo a good motive.

Picture:

Jem and Scout are attacked on their way home from the show. Jem is badly hurt, with a broken arm and unconscious, and Scout managed to get away unscathed because Jem told her to run. A man heard the noises and came to the rescue and carried Jem home. Atticus immediately calls the sherrif, Mr. Tate, over. At the end we find out That bob Ewell was lying dead under a tree.
From what I've read it seems that Bob Ewell attempted to harm or kill Atticus's kids because in the previous chapter's Jem said he heard a rumour that Bob Ewell said he had aquired one of his two targets. One of them was Tom Robinson and he is dead. But fortunately, and ironicaly, both Jem and Scout got away with their lives but he was the only one to die.
