Ch. 28- I think that the person who attacked Jem and Scout was Mr. Bob Ewell. This is because ever since the trial between Mayella and Tom Robinson, Mr. Ewell has had a grudge against everyone involved with the trial. Also, he had threatened Atticus saying that he would get him even if it took him his whole life. Mr. Ewell probably decided that it was finally the time to get his revenge by killing Atticus’ children, rather than killing Atticus. I don’t think Mr. Ewell was brave enough to kill Atticus, but he didn’t have any conscience about killing his kids.
I agree with you. I think the person that attacked Jem and Scout was Mr. Bob Ewell. There were clues in the story that led us to believe it was him. It said in the story that when Scout fell on top of a man he had a prickly face and smelled like whisky. We know that Bob Ewell drank a lot. You brought up a good point that Bob Ewell wanted to get revenge on Atticus. It would probably be more hurtful on Atticus if Bob killed his children instead of hurting Atticus. That would be a greater revenge.
Abbey,
I think that you made some really great insights when considering this question. I agree with you also that Bob Ewell is the one who attacked Jem and Scout. I also agree that Bob Ewell wasn't a brave enough man to go after Atticus, and I think that we have known all along that he didn't have any kind of a conscience. Great job!
