Chapter 23

     Bob Ewell is now starting to make threats to anyone who was associated with the trial. Everyone including me are worried, all but Atticus. Atticus told Jem and I that he is only making threats to get revenge, but it is now out of his system and there is nothing to worry about. I still remained worried that he might do something to one of us.



        During this time Tom Robinson is being sent to another prison. He is being sent there until his appeal gets through the court room. Atticus thinks Tom has a good chance at getting pardoned. I asked Atticus what would happen if Tom was found guilty. Atticus replied by saying he would be sent to the electric chair, becaue rape is a federal offense in the state of Alabama. I really do believe that Tom is innocent.

Chapter 19

    Today was Tom Robinson's testimony. He stated on the night of November 21, that Mayella Ewell asked him to fix a door for her. So he went into the house expecting to find a broken door. But there was none.When he asked about the door, she closed the door to the room in which they were in. She then asked him to lift a box for her, he began to reach for it when she hugged him. He said he then saw Bob Ewell her father and so he ran for his life because he feared for it.



       During the testimony Dill began to cry. So I took him outside to ask him why he was cring. when we got outside I asked him. He stated he was crying due to the treatment of Tom Robinson by Mr.Gilmer who was showing little to none respect for Tom. H e was calling Tom "boy". Dill didn't understand and that's why he was crying.

So that means that we have to return to passing by the Radley's place. But by now i am way to old to be frightened by just the house. Also in school my teaches was giving a lecture on how Hitler's treatment of the Jews and about equality. I asked Jem how she could lecture about equality when she came out of the courtroom saying that it was about time somebody taught that black a lesson. Jem became furious and told me to never bring u the trial again.

chapter 28

       There is a Halloween pageant at our school so Jem and I are walking there. when suddenly one of my classmates Cecil Jacobs jumps out and scares us to death. We are putting on a pageant and i have my own part. But I become sleepy and thus fall asleep. I then woke up and remembered I had a part. so I ran as quickly as i could onto the stage. I did it at the wrong time though, and the pageant as ruined, everyone was laughing at me. I was blamed for ruining all of it, even though I was jut trying to help!


   
     As Jem and I were walking home we heard noises coming from behind us. We both immediately thought it was Cecil Jacobs trying to scare us again. So we called his name but go no reply. We then heard the pursuer running after us. Jem told me to run but i got caught on my costume from the pageant and fell. Jem began to drag me down the street only until the attacker grabbed him and pulled him back. i heard a crushing noise so I went to go and help and then i was grabbed and squeezed until it suddenly stopped, almost like someone rescued us! when we got home i was worried about Jem. Aunt Alexandra calmed my nerves by telling me that he was only unconscious not dead, and that calmed me down a bit.

I was glad to see him but was also worried. when we asked why he was here he simply replied, my mother and father do not pay enough attention to him. He took a train from Meridian which is his hometown, to Maycomb where I live, then he walked from the train station all he way here.

The subject changed rather quickly to Calpernia's church. Aunt Alexandra became angry and told me that I was not allowed to go there anymore. I didn't understand why.she then began to tell Atticus that we don't need Cal anymore, now that she is here and that she should leave. Atticus become very upset with Aunt Alexandra. Later that night Jem told me to try not and antagonize Aunt Alexandra, but i had enough of being lecutred and i became furious. so we had a fight, until Atticus came in and broke it up.
