To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 22-25 dD

We begin with Atticus receiving food from supporters, causing him to tear up. Either because he received food from the families even though he lost the trial, or because people don't give him nice gestures like that, he appreciated it.

Atticus gets threatened by Mr. Ewell! Despite mister angry eyes yelling at Atticus and spitting on him, Atticus slips in some dry humor, which is always a fun kind of humor. The angry shouting man Mr. Ewell was displeased at being exposed, causing him to attempt to do something about it by threatening Atticus. He didn't accomplish much in that regard.

Atticus talks about the jury, makes me think about how potentially biased juries can be, even today. That should probably be fixed if it hasn't already.

Goodie goodie gumdrops, I get to read about old ladies bickering and gossiping!

Uh oh, Tom Robinson's dead. For whatever reason, he tried to escape prison and was shot down while climbing a fence (or atleast that's what has been said).

I actually was looking forward to Atticus winning that appeal trial, but that ship has sailed it seems.
(the book is also running out of pages)

Scout shows lady-like manners at a critical time! Is she experiencing growth of some sort?

Overall, I liked these past few chapters despite reading them at 11 PM at night in a hurry to finish my homework. Gave me a few things to think about, as well...

...but I'd prefer to think about them in the morning.

Thanks,
