Chapter 22
I think when Bob Ewell spat in Atticus's face he was thinking that Aatticus was a bad man because he represented Tom Robinson so well and he believed the Atticus was really trying to make Tom innocent.

If I were Atticus and Bob Ewell Spat in my face, I would walk away knowing that if I retaliate it would most likely make matters worse. Also, If I were to respond in a negative way like punching or spitting back it could start a “war” between us. And that most likely wouldn't end well.

Kaitlin,

Way to make a responsible and thoughtful decision. I can respect a person who can do what you would have done. Well said!

Kaitlin, I agree with Brian. That is a very responsible way to think the situation through. Knowing Bob Ewell's character, if Atticus had retalliated when Bob spat in his face, that would have given Bob more "ammunition" to continue the war he wouldn't let go.

Kaitlin...I agree with you. I think if Atticus would have done anything but walk away it would have started something bad. I think he did the right thing by walking away. I'm sure it was a hard thing to do.

Chapter 22: Although Bob Ewell won the case, I think he still felt he hadn't won the respect of the fellow towns people, which had been his over all goal. He was probably mad at Atticus, because Atticus had made fools out of the Ewell's, and had pretty much proved that Tom was innocent. Also, Bob wanted some of his dignity back, and he thought that he would get it that way. Obviously, it still didn't work out too well for him.
