Chapter 27

Bob Ewell tries and FAILS to hold on to a job. Even though it is the heart of the Great Depression he does not feel motivated enough to try hard enough to succeed. We have seen this before when he never faces his problems head on. When he falsely accused Tom Robinson is an example of this.

Chapter 24

Tom Robinson dies in this chapter. I know, I know not a very good way to break it to you but its the truth. While trying to escape from the prison exercise yard he attempted to climb the fence he was shot 17 times. This news hit everyone including Jem and Scout.(Jem took it harder then Scout) This, in a way, is a freedom from the constant prejudice.

Freedom: the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint
