To Kill a Mockingbird

I finished To Kill a Mockingbird. I really liked it, it was really sad to think how corrupt the world was especially the Southern part of the United States used to be. Basically, Tom gets convicted and Mr. Ewell jumps out of the woods at Jean Louise and Jem. Mr. Ewell has a kitchen knife and seems to be attempting to kill Jem and Jean, in the end Jem ends up killing Mr. Ewell on accident. The end is a very sad ending, but at the same time uplifting. The sad part is that Tom gets convicted and the uplifting part is when Jem kills Mr. Ewell on accident. I was really happy when Jem killed Mr. Ewell, but when Jem and Jean where attacked by him I thought they were for sure dead, but because Jem and Jean were on their way to the school play Jean had a costume. Her costume made it impossible for Bob Ewell to choke her, somehow Jem ended up driving the Knife into Mr. Ewell's chest killing him. I am glad, Mr. Ewell got what he deserved the death sentence. This is what happens to people when they are not put away the first time. When a person is convicted of firing a weapon within the city limits he should be taking off and sent of to a state penitentiary, if he is given a second chance he will almost most definetly committ another crime and cost the state more money.
