to kill a mocking bird chapter 22

Summery
the Tom Robinson court case ended with tom being guilty. Jem, Dill and Scout are becoming aware racism in their town and dont like what they're beginning to see. African townsfolk gifted the finches with lots of food. the idea of Jem growing in stature as well as mentally reappears when miss Maudie has Jem eat out of the adult cake, whilst scout and dill have their own smaller cakes. Jem was upset when nobody helped tom, but Miss Maudie told him that some people did. Judge taylor gave atticus the case because he felt Tom had a more fair chance of winning with him.


Chapter 23 Summery

Mr ewell threatens and spits into atticuses face. unfazed, he tells the children that he wished MR. Ewell didnt chew. the children are terrified. tom is at a prison 7 miles away where his family cant visit him.
scout decides she wants to invite walter over for dinner one day, but Aunt Alexandria tells scout she cant associate herself with them because theyre of a lower class. jem figures life out. there are only 4 types of people. the finches, the cunninghams who live in the woods, the ewells who are what they eat, little of anything delicious, and africans. he thinks that everyone dislikes the class below their own.
they also create a new proposition, maybe the reason boo always stays inside is because the human race is very disappointing and people kind of suck.

chapter 24 summery

aunt Alexandria is having a missionary tea party and since scout is wearing a dress she was able to accompany Alexandrias compony. dill and jem went skinny dipping, so scout couldn't go with them. mrs. meriweather was kind enough to tell scout that black people need to stop being cranky about things because jesus was never cranky about anything. Tom Robinson was shot 17 times for trying to escape by climbing a fence.

chapter 25 summery

scout finds a roly poly bug and is about to squish it, but jem suddenly feels that she has no right to kill him, so she shouldnt (kinda like tom). dil had gone back to meridian for the school year. toms death was used to reinforce the "foolish black man" stereotype. Mr. underwood wrote a paper to the editor of the news paper about how tom was screwed when mayela screamed because of racism.

chapter 26 summery

scout and jem have to work extra hard to hold their heads up once school started since the children recited the prejudice they overheard at home. scout wonders why everyone reelected atticuss for his job that year if they all dislike him. scout asks why the jews hitlers persecuting dont team up and persecute him since its a many:one ration. scout learns that hating hitler isnt okay, if if it is hitler. scout has a burning question that she cant put into words. after hearing miss gates talk about how it isnt okay for hitler to persecute people, but scout saw her on the Ewell side of the courthouse persecuting tom. jem flipped out when scout asked him this.

Jem and Scout were still up in the balcony when Calpurnia deliverd a letter to atticus telling him that his children had been missing all day. when atticuss adressed the court, Mr underwood told him theyd been up in the negro balcony sine eight am that morning. he said they could come back after they ate supper, which was with Calpurnia nagging them for running off like that, said it wasn't fitting for scouts ears.
when they returned, Tom had been declared Guilty. Atticuss left the room unfazed and tiredly hazed. when he met up with his kids, he could see the impact the case had a jem. "just aint right", the ideas of prejudice are too alienate for him to understand and atticuss said that the children are always the ones who weep, which tells us that prejudice is backing up with babysteps at each generation.

chapter 19

Tom Robinson was at the whiteness stand telling everyone his version of the night where Miss Mayella was supposedly taken advantage of. he said that he always saw her on his why home from work; she'd often have odd jobs for him to do. though he had his own chores to do at home, he felt that Mayella put more of an effort into herself than the rest of her family did. he said neither her dad nor the children seemed to help her and he was giving her a hand out of the kindness of his heart.

one night she told Tom she needed him to do something inside the house; the door was creaking and it needed a look. when Tom went inside, the door hinges were fine and when he noticed the lack of kids running around, Miss Mayella told him she had saved up seven nickels so the kids could go out and get some ice cream. Tom said he might as be on his way if she hadn't had any work for him, but he soon found that her interest wasn't solely in his work ethic.

as Tom was standing atop Mayellas chifferobe to grab something from the shelf, she hugged him around his waste and one thing led to another. Tom, being a married man, was not in any hurry to accept her affection and tried to make his way out the door;  just then Mister Ewall poked his head through the window and whilst glaring at Miss Mayella growled "you god damn whore!"
Tom ran as fast as he could to get away, said "if you was a nigger liek me, youd understand why i ran" when asked what the point of running was if he hadent done anything.
