TKAMB 27 and up

 Chapter 27: Bob Ewell decides to not take responsibility for losing his job and blame it completely on Atticus because apparently Atticus stole his job. However this was just Bob finding an escape for what he did wrong. Somebody also broke into Judge Taylors house while he was home alone. It is inferred it is probably Bob Ewell after still being mad about the trial and everything leading up and down from it. Later Bob Ewell starts to follow Helen Robinson to work, in essence he is silently harrassing the whole town is his own way. He gets confronted about this by her boss and told that he better stop, and if he didn't they would have problems. In the last part of this chapter Aunt Alexandra makes the point that Mr. Bob Ewell has been harassing everybody that was related to the case at all in anyway.

Chapter 28: Jem and Scout head to the school festival/carnival, Scout is supposed to be in a costume showing play so she is behind stage waiting for her cue. Sadly she falls asleep in her pork costume and "ruins the show", she is so embarrassed she leaves the costume on so nobody can see her. They don't leave until everybody is gone. Once the theater is near empty they walk out from back stage and start to head home. It is a new moon so the moon is completely gone making it a pitch black night. As they are walking through the woods looking for the oak tree, they hear somebody behind them, part of them think it is Cecil Jacobs. They call out for Cecil but he does not answer, they keep walking and Jem tells Scout to stay close. After more walking Scout gets grabbed and squeezed by a grown man, Jem separates them and falls back into the woods with Bob Ewell. They fight as Scout hears screaming. Scout gets home to find a mysterious man in the corner of Jems room while he is lying in his bed unconscious and with a broken arm. It is Boo Radley, he has killed Bob Ewell and brought Jem home alive. 

Literary elements: 

"There was no moon" this is a foreshadow to something bad happening because the last time there was no moon in chapter 6 bad things happen.

"The bass drum went boom with every sentence Mrs. Merriweather uttered." This is an onomatopoeia

Chapter 29: 

Mr. Tate, the cop that responded to self defense killing of Bob Ewell, was questioning Scout, seeing what he could get out of her to further understand what went on that night. Scout was describing what happened to Mr. Tate, she said " Anyway, Jem hollered and I didn't hear him any more an' the next thing -- Mr Ewell was tryin' to squeeze me to death." The chapter was simply Scout explaining every step of what happened and how it all unfolded. By the end of the chapter she sees Boo in the corner sitting quietly, realizing he is the one that saved her, she says "Hey Boo" and then the chapter ends. 

Literary elements:

"if we followed our feelings all the time we'd be like cats chasin' their tails" This is a simile

Chapter 30: 

Atticus corrects Scout for being rude and not calling Boo by his true name. After all that had happened that night he was still worried about his kids manners. Mr. Heck Tate and Atticus go out on the porch to discuss what has happened. Atticus tells him he knows Jem killed him and Heck said there is no proof and he would prefer to keep the case quiet. He also makes the point that the knife most likely came from the junk yard where Boo Radley most likely got the knife from. 

Literary elements: 

"Dr. Reynolds voice was as breezy as his steps" Simile 

"Mr. Tate's voice was quiet, but his boots were plated so solidly on the porch floorbordas it seemed that they grew there." Metaphor 

Chapter 31: 

Scout tells Boo it is okay to give Jem a small pet on the head because he is asleep, scout walks Boo Radley home and drops him off. After saying goodbye to him she turns around and looks of the porch, she actually does what Atticus said by staring of somebodies porch and actually seeing something from his point of view. As she starts to walk home she really sees stuff from his shoes, everything she looks at is straight through his eyes. 

Literary elements:

"to learn his body english" this is a cliche

"It was dark out there, black as ink" this is a simile
