Mr. Ewell spits in atticus's face and asks if atticus thinks he's to good to reply, this is when atticus says "no, to old."
Scout and Jem carry an office chair and a light to the jail in "To Kill a Mockingbird" in order to sit and provide light for their father, Atticus, who is guarding the jail.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Bob Ewell approaches Atticus at the post office and spits in his face, directly confronting him about the trial. Atticus remains calm and composed during the confrontation, refusing to retaliate or engage in a physical altercation with Bob. Bob Ewell's actions showcase his deep-seated resentment towards Atticus and his determination to seek revenge for the outcome of the trial.
Bob Ewell spits in Atticus's face outside the post office as a way to express his anger and hostility towards Atticus for defending Tom Robinson in court. This action showcases Bob's bitterness and lack of respect for Atticus and his beliefs.
When Bob Ewells met Atticus at the post office he spit in his face, called him names and asked him "Too proud to fight, you 'African American' lovin' *****?" Atticus just walks away. Atticus later tells Jem and Scout not to worry about it because Mr. Ewells just needed to get out his frustration about his reputation being hurt by the trial.
The tire game in To Kill a Mockingbird is significant because it shows that Jem, Dill and Scout really get along well and it brings them to the Boo Radley house quicker, thus Jem and Scout realizing that they fear it.
The book never goes into detail about Atticus' service in the Alabama legislature. His length of office, or whether or he held office while living at Finch's landing or in Maycomb (where the bulk of the story takes place.) However, in Alabama it was common for young lawyers to run for legislature to build their name recognition and bolster their practice. Usually after a term or two they would retire to private practice. Author Harper Lee's father was a lawyer and she likely knew of the customs of Alabama lawyer-legislators.
The post office corner (pg. 217)
During the mob scene in "To Kill a Mockingbird," Mr. Underwood was guarding Atticus Finch outside the jail where Tom Robinson was being held. He was armed with a shotgun and prepared to protect Atticus and the prisoner if necessary.
Tom Robinson and Boo are the mockingbirds.They never hurt anyone so, it's a bad thing to kill them or hurt them. Likewise, mockingbirds do none but sing there hearts out so, it is a sin to kill them.
Although he won the court case, Atticus obviously proved Tom innocent, and he completely sided with Tom anyways. Bob Ewell is angry that Atticus sided with Tom, and he tries to take revenge by killing Atticus's children, scout and jem. He does not succeed, thankfully!
Mr. Underwood didn't actually play a role in it. afterwards scout says she sees him with a double barrel shotgun, which means if the mob started to attack, he would have come to atticus's defense.
