The Aftermath of Tom's Trial

After Tom Robinson was killed Bob Ewell said "one down, two to go"  and he started to threaten Atticus. He also caused trouble with the judge and Tom's wife, Helen. Then he was made a fool because after finally getting a job he got fired and blamed it on Atticus. The Halloween night after the summer of the trial, there was a Halloween pageant. Scout was a ham in the play and Jem was escorting her to and from the auditorium.

On the way home they were attacked by Bob Ewell and Jem was knocked out and broke his arm. Scout could not see what was going on, then realized that there were four people, under the tree they were near, not three. She heard a cough and wheeze like noise and saw someone carrying Jem to her house. She went home and to her delight her rescuer was none other than Boo Radley. He heard the scuffle and came to save the children. Scout finally got to meet Boo and talk to him.
