After we heard that Tom Robinson was shot while escaping from jail, we decided to go to Helen to tell her what had happened. When we got to her house there were kids playing outside. I told Sam to go get his mom. She came out of the house when she got to the stairs I helped her down. I told her that Tom was trying to escape from jail, but because of his bad arm he couldn't get over in time and they shot him seventeen times in the back.
Scout was doing current events in class today one of the kids talked about Hitler. She told me that Mrs. Gates got all upset and said that Hitler was a horrible person. She asked me why He could do something like that and round up all the Jews like that. I told her that he didn't like the Jews. She went upstairs and asked Jem about it. A few minutes later I heard yelling and then Scout came down and said that she mentioned the courthouse to Jem and he got mad.
Scout was having her play tonight, but I was too tired to take her. So Jem took her instead. They were gone for a while I heard some screaming in the woods but I didn't think it was anything. But then a few minutes later some strange farmer brought Jem up to our doorstep. He was unconscious and had a broken arm. Scout came right after him. We called the doctor when he came he said that Jem would be ok, and that he just needed rest. Later Heck Tate came to the house and said that Mr. Ewell was dead with a knife in his ribs out in the woods.
