23 and 24

Atticus was threatened by Bob because of what he has done in the trial. Mr. Ewell is a scary man so his threat worried me for my fathers sake. some how though Atticus does seem scared at all. Tom was imprisoned far away from here. But Atticus still thinks Tom can be acquitted. I asked Atticus what would happen to Tom if he was found guilty. Atticus said if he was he would be thrown in the electric chair for raping Mayella.








Terrible news arrived today. Atticus told me that Tom tried to escape from his prison and was shot dead. I couldn't believe the news. I knew Tom was going to die, so I guess I could understand why he took the chance and tried to escape. I just never really grasped the fact that he was going to die so I took it really hard. My mind was racing and I couldn't stop thinking about his death. Later on Atticus and Calpurnia went to the Robinson's to announce Tom's death.
