Fall is coming and its time for Scout and Jem to go back to school. Being in different grades, Scout now has to walk home everyday by herself, and still wonders (not as much as before) about the old Radley place. When she asked Atticus about it again, he quickly dismissed the thought and told her to leave there alone, she didn't mention it anymore. At school, the children were learning about current events in the news, and the topic of Hilter and Jews came up. Her teacher became very aggravative talking about the subject, and one child asked if they're WHITE. When Scout tried to talk to Jem about it, comparing it to Tom's case, he leaped up and threatened her. She went to Atticus who told her not to worry about her brother, everything was fine.
Even after they won the trail, Bob Ewell still has a grudge against everyone there. He started to threaten and torment Tom's wife, Helen, until her new employer (Tom's old one) told Bob to stay away or he will call the cops, then Bob started pestering Judge Taylor. Aside from the Ewell drama going on, Halloween was coming and Scouts teacher is making her be in the pageant they are putting on (she has to be a ham). Reluctantly, Jem is forced to take her that night to the high school where it is being put on.

falling action
Allusion: the oppression of the Jews is similar to the oppression of Black people in the south. only difference between the situation is the degree of cruelty and skin color.
