Chapter 24

Scout makes Aunt Alexandra happy by wearing a dress but informs Miss Maudie that she is wearing her britched underneath.
The church ladies talk about Helen, Tom Robinson's wife, and how the church should help her out. They have really no sympathy towards them and use the church as the reason they are supposed to help her, rather than helping her out of compassion.
Atticus comes back from work, which was weird to Scout since he came after the missionary women had left. He then calls on Aunt Alexandra if he could borrow Calpurnia. He goes into the kitchen and is met with Aunt Alexandra, Scout, Calpurnia, and later Miss Maudie. Atticus reveals that Tom Robinson had died after trying to escape prison. He then tells Calpurnia to go with him to tell Helen Robinson about Tom's passing.
Aunt Alexandra talks to Miss Maudie and Scout about Atticus and how he helps represent the town that don't approve of racism, even though it costs him his health.
Scout concludes that "if Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, so could I."
Chapter 25
Atticus goes with Calpurnia to tell Helen about Tom's passing, and Jem and Dill see them and go to the cabin with them.
The news of Tom's death spread fairly quickly across the county and to Maycomb, Tom's death was typical.
Mr Underwood writes about Tom's death in the newspaper and compares his murder to "a senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children."
Chapter 26

Scout and Jem aren't scared of the Radley House anymore, but she still wishes that she could see Boo Radley at least one time.
Scout's 3rd teacher talks about how Hilter has bad because of how he treated the Jews, but Scout asks Jem why she is saying when she was doing the same to the black community. Jem becomes furious and tell Scout to never mention the trial in front of him. Scout is then upset and goes to Atticus for comfort
Scout feels bad that she tormented Boo Radley and she remembers of the gifts that were left in the oak tree. She also fantasizes on meeting Boo Radley.
The kids at school tease Scout and Jem about Atticus's involvement in the Tom Robinson case. Scout decides that people are strange, since they reelect Atticus into the state legislature.
Scout starts to mature in this chapter by feeling bad for what she did to Boo Radley and recognizes and accept what she, Jem, and Dill did to him. She looks back to see that she was prejudiced against someone who wanted to live a different way.
Chapter 27
Another character that isn't over about the trial is Bob Ewell. He seeks revenge on those whom he feels disgraced him at the trial. These people include Helen Robinson, Judge Taylor and Atticus Finch. Even though Helen was just Tom's widow and didn't do anything to him, Bob Ewell takes it upon himself to harass her. Link Deas is the person who stands up for Helen while Bob Ewell harasses her.
Bob Ewell threatens Judge Taylor by slicing Taylor's backdoor screen with a knife. Ewell does this because Judge Taylor appointed Atticus to defend Tom Robinson against the Ewells. This proved that Judge Taylor wasn't exactly on the Ewell's side, so Bob tries to spook Taylor. He discontinues this after Judge Taylor gets concerned.
Bob Ewell blames Atticus for his losses in life and spits in Atticus's face. He also threatens to kill Atticus. Ewell does this because Atticus was the one that Bob Ewell was a liar.

The town decides to have an agricultural pageant and a festival since it is Halloween. They do this for the children to have a safe space and not cause trouble. Someone vandalized two deaf sisters's home and hid their furniture in their basement.
The play is about the agriculture in the county so the children go dressed as foods, and Scout dresses like ham by using wire mesh.
