Title: Ending with a bang
Wow. Wow is all I can say for the ending. Usually the endings to books are boring and conclusive, however this book left me craving more. It threw in so much action with no conclusion, causing us to have no closure on what really happened. So let's back track for a second. Bob Ewell, from the earlier chapters, is quite angry with Atticus for going against him on the trial. How does he try to get Atticus back? Through his children. It is late at night and the children are walking back from the school due to the fact that there was a play that Scout was in. Don't you find it funny that a third grader was just walking home so late at night? Back when I was in third grade I couldn't even walk down the street nonetheless all of the way to school late at night. Anyways they are getting close to home then they swear they hear shuffling behind them. They keep stopping and looking back until out of nowhere they are attacked. They hear a ripping noise and grunting, then all of the sudden a scream with a gurgling noise. Jem has a broken arm, but neither of them are severely injured otherwise. Everyone is upstairs in Jem's room taking care of him when all of the sudden everyone realizes what happened. Scout turns around and sees a pale man with fair hair, and a pinched looking face. Who could this be? The famed Boo radley of course! I knew he existed! That was my major closure. What about you?
