I think that the black folks of Maycomb sent food to Atticus even though he lost the case because they respected him for trying when he knew that he probably couldn't win. They respected him for not giving up when the case got really tough. They also gave him food because he didn't let the rest of the town influence him when they said all the mean things and made fun of him. He also didn't let his family influence him by saying that he would ruin his family's reputation. He also protected Tom from a mob the night before the trial. They respected him for trying hard and taking it seriously. He also didn't say oh well i won't win the case anyways so why try. The black folks respected Atticus and that is why they gave him food.
I think that Jem and Scout are scared because they thought he was in over his head. they were also worried that he might get hurt by some extremests. The extremests that might want to hurt him. So in other worsds they were fearing his safety. However Atticus was stubborn and he stuck with the case and rode it to the very end.
Ch.23- Jem and Scout are afraid for Atticus' safety because he had an unpleasant encounter with Bob Ewell at the post office. As he was leaving, Mr. Ewell approached him, spat in his face, and threatened him. He said that he would get Atticus even if it took him the rest of his life, and meant it. I think that maybe something not too significant might happen to Atticus or instead to Jem and Scout, caused by Mr. Ewell out of spite.
I think the black folks of Maycomb sent food to Atticus even thought Tom was found guilty was because they were thankful of Atticus. They respect him because he fought very hard for Tom. Even though they lost, Atticus kept the case going and proved that Tom Robinson was a decent and honest man. The black folks of Maycomb were grateful that Atticus defended Tom, and that is why they sent gifts on the back porch of Atticus’ house.
I think the black folks of Maycomb sent food to Atticus even though he lost the case to show respect and gratitude towards him. Aticus risked his career, his reputation in the county, and the respect of his peers, when he defended Tom Robinson. He knew that no matter how believable the evidence was, Tom Robinson would be found guilty because of the color of his skin. He still defended him to the best of his ability. The black folks of Maycomb admired Atticus's bravery. The food was a symbol of their appreciativeness and thankfulness towards Atticus.
Abbey,
I like how you are making predictions about what might happen next. I agree with you that something might happen to Atticus or anyone closely associated with him. I don't think that Bob Ewell was bluffing, I think that he will make good on his promise. I guess we'll have to wait and find out!
In chapter 23 Jem and Scout are scared for Atticus because he ran into Bob Ewell at the post office and that did not go very well. As Atticus was leaving the post office Bob Ewell approached, him and spat in his face, and threatened him. Bob said that he would get Atticus even if it took the rest of his life, and he really meant it. I think that in the following chapters something not to big will happen again to either Atticus or Jem and Scout.
I think the black people in Maycomb baked all the food for Atticus to show respect and thanks for what he tried to do for them. Even though he lost they knew that he really did try for them all. Atticus was risking his career when he said he would take this case. He also was risking his reputation and his respect from most of his peers. He knew that no matter how right he was with the evidence and facts Tom Robinson would be proven guilty because of the color of his skin. The black people of Maycomb admired the fact he still did this, and the food represented their thanks to him for all that he had done.
Chapter 22:
I think that the black community sent Atticus all the food they did was that Attisuc put so much effort into proving Tom's innosance. They also believed that Atticus had won the case, even though the jurry found otherwise.
Chapter 24:
I believe that Tom tried to escape, even though the guards fired warning shots because he was determined that he had no chance to win. Even though that they had such a great chance to win the case once it moved to the higher courts, he felt so strongly that he had no chance he kept going. Also, the way that he was treated incourt may have lead to his decission. The way the jurry called him guilty simply because he was black, and the way Mr. Gilmer treated him like a piece of trash would make anyone want to die.
