Yet, despite Tom being innocent, he is found guilty. Tom has no hope for an appeal and whilst trying to escape from prison he is shot and killed. Despite Tom being found guilty, Bob Ewell vows revenge on Atticus for humiliating him during the trial. On the night of the Halloween pageant Bob follows the children home and attacks them but Boo saves Jem and Scout but fatally stabs Bob Ewell. Atticus is convinced Jem killed Bob Ewell but Heck Tate the sheriff points out that Jem isn't strong enough and after Bob broke his arm he wouldn't have been able to stab him.
The sheriff insists that Mr Ewell fell on his own knife. Heck Tate is protecting Boo from the limelight so that he doesn't put an end to Boo's quiet life. Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are the mockingbirds of the story, they are both gentle people who have only tried to help others.
Tom and Boo like Mockingbirds should be protected and cared for but they are persecuted, one by the jury and the other by gossip. The innocence of childhood dies when Scout and Dill realise the adult world is often cruel and unjust.
Finally, after sitting with Scout, Boo disappears back into his house. Whilst Scout stands on his porch you can see how much she has grown up because she is no longer seeing things from a childs selfish point of view.
She has finally taken Atticus' lesson to heart; as she comments "you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them".

Chapter 11 is a critical section of the novel. It concludes the largely idyllic portrayal of Maycomb we see in part 1 and deepens the foreshadowing of the tragedy we encounter in part 2. Chiefly, however, it presents Mrs.
Henry Lafayette Dubose, a minor but important character in the story. Clearly, Mrs. Dubose represents the traditional order of the Confederate South. One way Harper Lee establishes this association is to give Mrs. Students are unlikely to recognize that association, however, and illustrating it would almost require another lesson, so it goes unexplored here. Most certainly, though, students will connect her to the Confederate South through the CSA pistol she is rumored to hide beneath her shawl, and the lesson does explore that.
Perhaps more important, the lesson examines the symbolic import of the camellias Mrs. Dubose proudly cultivates. At one point Lee juxtaposes them with Mrs. Dubose views on race p. They serve as something of a stand-in for Mrs. Dubose herself when Jem, in response to her insults, decapitates the Snow-on-the Mountains that border her porch. They take on deeper symbolic resonance when we realize that the camellia is not only the state flower of Alabama but is also associated with the Knights of the White Camellia, a Ku Klux Klan-like organization, founded in , to enforce white supremacy in the South.
To suggest further Mrs. If you do, you will probably get responses ranging from sixty to eighty. For the sake of illustration, you might want to settle on seventy and ask students to calculate the approximate year of her birth. The novel seems to be set around or The narrator mentions the demise of the National Recovery Administration p. Based on those dates, Mrs. Dubose would have been born around or 66, at the end of or shortly after the Civil War. Thus you might ask how events she witnessed as she came of age in the South — the defeat of the Confederacy, the impoverishment of the region, Reconstruction, and the imposition of Jim Crow — might have shaped her attitudes and values, especially on matters of race.
The lesson explores not only what Mrs. Dubose represents but also how she functions in the town. Her judgments reflect the values and attitudes of her heritage. She embodies the old Southern order and, as she is presented in the novel, is the chief enforcer of its mores. Frail and passing she may be, but she is still a public and vocal communicator of the racist ideology that shaped her and the culture of her region.
Dubose, from her porch, is the first adult to level that insult p. It is important to emphasize how vitriolic and wounding her language is. Moreover, it is essential to have students understand just what Mrs. Dubose does to Scout and Jem in their hours with her. Here, day after day, an adult, respected, indeed admired by their father and perhaps by the entire town, seeks to communicate the white supremacist heritage of the Old South to Jem and Scout, in effect to a new generation of Southerners.
Yet Atticus cannot bring himself to point out how morally reprehensible that legacy is. When he seeks to explain Mrs.
Most certainly, he has long been aware of Mrs. In chapter 11 Scout, Jem, and Atticus judge the old woman. It is important to remind students that these judgments are not those of the six-year-old Scout or the nine-year-old Jem but rather those of the adult Scout, the narrator, who is looking back on her past and offering a considered assessment of it. And her assessment of Mrs. Dubose sharply contradicts that of Atticus who believed Mrs. Upon hearing Atticus describe her that way, Jem throws the candy box that contained her posthumous peace offering into the fire.
What does this action suggest about his attitude toward Mrs. Why does Atticus hold Mrs. Dubose in such esteem? The answer lies, perhaps, in the type of courage he attributes to her.
On the walk back home, Jem hears noises behind him and Scout. They think it must be Cecil Jacobs trying to frighten them again, but when they call out to him, they hear no reply. They have almost reached the road when their pursuer begins running after them.
Jem screams for Scout to run, but in the dark, hampered by her costume, she loses her balance and falls. Something tears at the metal mesh, and she hears struggling behind her.
Jem then breaks free and drags Scout almost all the way to the road before their assailant pulls him back. Scout hears a crunching sound and Jem screams; she runs toward him and is grabbed and squeezed. Suddenly, her attacker is pulled away. Once the noise of struggling has ceased, Scout feels on the ground for Jem, finding only the prone figure of an unshaven man smelling of whiskey. She stumbles toward home, and sees, in the light of the streetlamp, a man carrying Jem toward her house.
Scout reaches home, and Aunt Alexandra goes to call Dr. Atticus calls Heck Tate, telling him that someone has attacked his children. When he emerges, he informs Scout that Jem has a broken arm and a bump on his head, but that he will be all right.
Scout goes in to see Jem. The man who carried him home is in the room, but she does not recognize him.
