Chapters 25-27

My first prediction has to do with the Tom Robinson case. I think that there may be some sort of retaliation from the negroes to cause the white people some inconveniences. The reason is by doing this, when the Ewell's won the case over Tom, it not only offended Tom but it offended all of the negroes. They were being persecuted by white people, just like Nazi's persecuted the Jews. So what I am predicting is an act similar to the death of Tom Robinson, only this time someone with white skin will be killed. This is a fifty-fifty thing for me though, because it is either this or the negroes don't do anything and are the better people.

My second prediction has to do with Boo Radley. All book I have been waiting for him to come out, and it hasn't happened yet, so I am sure it will happen. So i am alledgedly sure that this will happen. My assesment of this prediction is like this: The kids will find a way to get him out, maybe a fire, a letter, i am not sure yet. Or maybe dill will dare Jem again and jem will finally consent to try and get boo out. That is at least what I want to happen, and will make the book really exciting!

Question; Why do you think Bob Ewell was harrasing tom Robinsons wife?
