To Kill A Mockingbird: Chapters 22-25

In these chapters, Jem begins to realize the cruelty of adulthood. In his heart, he knows Tom Robinson is innocent and did not deserve to lose the trial. Jem heard all of the evidence and believes the jury should have voted that Tom Robinson was guilty. He is angry that the 12 men did not vote the right way. Jem believed his whole life that the people of Maycomb County were the best people. He realizes that they are not if they have so much hate towards Tom Robinson. Aunt Alexandra is still obsessed over the family name. When Atticus tells Jem and Scout that one of the Cunninghams wanted to acquit. Scout now has a lot of respect for Walter and wants to invite him over for dinner. Aunt Alexandra does not agree with this. She believes that the Cunninghams are trash and that Jem and Scout should not hang out with him. I do not like this about Aunt Alexandra , she should not care about this so much she should do the right thing. In Chapter 24, Aunt Alexandra has a group of mission friends over. They talk about the Mrunas and how they are converting to Christian and how the Negroes are acting up ever since Tom Robinson. I absolutely love Ms. Maudey in this chapter because she stands up for what she believes in and put all the women on the spot. Atticus arrives home and says Tom Robinson had died. This is really sad because everyone had a lot of hope for him. I am really scared for the children because Bob Ewell had said he had one down and two to go. This means he might go after the children which is so crazy. He is just doing this to get back at Atticus for making him look foolish during trial.
