Responding To Kill a Mockingbird, Twenty-two through Thirty-one

Personal Response

The ending of the novel surprised me. If I was the author, I would have ended differently as I have written a lot about the court case and had forgotten about the Radleys already.

Analyzing Literature-Recall and Interpret

1. The children was afraid that Bob Ewell will harm Atticus as Atticus had shamed him. However, Atticus was not worried at all as he believed that Bob Ewell will not harm him.

2. Bob Ewell followed them and attacked them near the Radley place. But luckily, Boo comes and saves Scout and Jem but unfortunately Bob died. It shows that Boo is actually kind-hearted and not a monster like they described him.

3. Scout was friendly to Boo. At first, she thought that Boo was a monster and was scared of him. But after seeing his shy attitude and kindness, she was not scared anymore.

4. I believe that Sheriff Tate and Atticus made the best decision about how to report Bob Ewell's death of himself accidentally falling onto his knife and not about Jem killing him. If this was not done, Jem probably will be discriminated and will have a unhappy life as he will have a criminal record even when he is just a teenager. People might even be misleaded that Atticus used Jem to kill Bob because of the court case.

5. Yes. Because only through baby steps, people will be able to accept other types of people. Like in the case of the book, it is best if they accept the Negros slowly. If not, they might not be able to accept it if the law was suddenly changed and they might go on strikes/riots.
