I don't like it at all....That man seems to have a permanent running grudge against everybody connected with that case" (Lee 335).

Bob Ewell was still irritated by anyone and everyone involved in the Tom Robinson case. Aunt Alexandra was the first to notice, she is almost always right, as the Finch family will soon learn. ]]> 2017-01-09 01:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145891199 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145891368 "I ain't touched her, Link Deas, and ain't about to go with no n*****!" (Lee 334).

Bob won't touch Helen just because of her color. This not only shows how disrespectful Bob was, but was one of many examples of racism throughout the novel.]]> 2017-01-09 01:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145891368 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145893023 "It might be because he knows in his heart that very few people in Maycomb believe his and Mayella's yarns" (Lee 335).

By Atticus putting himself in Bob's place, he realizes that he is not always right. ]]> 2017-01-09 02:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145893023 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145894913 "You don't know if Bob Ewell cut that screen, you don't know who did it," Said Atticus. "But I can guess. I proved him a liar but John made him look like a fool" (Lee 335).

Atticus is trying to prove Bob broke into Judge Taylor's house. Although there is no way to know, the fact that John Taylor showed the court how messed up Bob was, he will always be after Judge. ]]> 2017-01-09 02:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145894913 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145895441 Bob's creepy actions in chapter 27 are a hint to how he will be  in further chapters. By him going after the ones involved in the case, the reader can assume Atticus, or his family, will be next. Scout had to dress as ham for Halloween, her costume was made of chicken wire, which may be one of the most important details, it ends up saving her life. Since Aunt Alexandra and Atticus were too tired to attend the pageant Jem had to take Scout as well as escort her home. It's crucial to know that it was just Scout and Jem because they are the ones who get attacked by Bob Ewell.]]> 2017-01-09 02:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145895441 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145895790 2017-01-09 03:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145895790 ahaden2 https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145915018 2017-01-09 08:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ahaden2/tkam27/wish/145915018
