Pageant. Bob Ewell attacked them and broke Jem’s arm. Boo
then killed Bob to save Jem & Scout. “Thank you for my
children Arthur, he said,” (page 317).Atticus thanked Boo for
saving his kids.

Scout uses a simile to describe Walter.
“Walter looked as if he had been raised on
fish food: his eyes, as blue as Dill Harris’s,
were red-rimmed and watery,” (page 25).
Miss Maudie’s house catches on fire. Neighbors come
to help save her furniture. Her house eventually
burns to the ground. “...we saw fire spewing from
Miss Maudie’s dining-room windows,” (page 78).

Scout uses foreshadowing to tell what might

happen next. “But by the end of August our
repertoire was vapid from countless
reproductions, and it was then that Dill gave
us the idea of making Boo Radley come out,”
(page 9).

goes through hardship because she does not have a mother. Jem, Dill, Atticus,
and Alexandra Hancock have a big role in her character. “School often gets
in the way of education” is also shown when Scout goes to school. Her
teacher tells her that Atticus is teaching her wrong.
The FInch’s live in a time where whites and blacks are segregated
and most whites are racist towards blacks. Attics has to defend a black
man in a court case who was wrongly accused by a white woman of
rape. Attics believes that you should do what is right even if you might
not succeed.

Foreshadowing is used on page 291, “Jem said he would take me. Thus began our longest journey together.” When Scout says
“longest” she means that it is going to be rough and hard. She is giving a hint on what might happen in the future. Personification
is also used in chapter 2. “Let’s not let our imaginations run away with us, dear…” Miss Carolina is giving a something not human,
human like qualities. Bob Ewell’s death is irony because Scout and Jem were also scared of Boo Radley and thought he was bad, but
Boo saves Scout and Jem from Bob Ewell and kills Bob.
