Pleasure Reading: "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Summary 6

1. Nothing special had happened in Maycomb by the middle of October except a few cases, when Bob Ewell tried to burgle Judge Taylor’s house and when a group of children made fun of two old ladies by hiding the women’s furniture. 2. However, a few days later Scout was invited to take part in a kind of performance about agriculture, where she had to wear a costume of pork. 3. Late in the evening, after everything was over, she went home together with her brother Jem and, somewhere in the middle of the way when there was nobody around, they heard some steps, evidently a man’s, beside them. 4. They ran, but it was too dark and Scout’s costume prevented her from moving fast, so she fell on the ground. 5. The girl felt someone trying to catch her, then heard some people fighting, one coughing badly, and saw a man running to their house with Jem on his hands. 6. After she arrived home, she learned that her brother was hurt a bit, as his hand was broken, that the man who had done an attempt to kill them was Bob Ewell, and that it was Boo, or Arthur Radley, who had saved the children. 7. Scout saw Mr. Radley to his house, and from that time she never met him again, though later she always felt grateful to him for everything he had done for their family.
