#1 Heck Tate said that he fell and landed on his knife. Bob was trying to pull Jem off of Scout and he tripped and fell onto his knife. This way, he killed himself.

1. Heck says that it was self- inflicted because he says that he triped on a root. And even gave a example with a swich blade. it is partly ture becaus Scout said that she felt Jem pull Bob off which is when he triped.
#1 Heck Tate insists that Bob Ewell's death was self-inflicted because he says that Jem didn't have enough strength to push him over and make him fall. He says that he tripped and landed on his knife while it was sticking straight up. That's how he killed himself.
1. Heck Tate insists that Bob Ewell's death was self-inflicted becasue he claims that Jem didn't have enough strength to push him over. He says that Bob Ewell tripped and landed on his knife while he was was holding it straight up. Thats how he died.
Heck Tate said that to cover up for Jem and Boo Radley. He didn't want people to think it was Jem or find out it was Boo. It is partly true because he shouldn't have gone out after them. He brought it upon himself.

He said this because he didnt want Jem to get blamed or Boo. He hated to say it but he did. I think Boo was the one that stabbed him. Boo helped Jem and Scot,he saved there lives.

It was because JEm was knocked out and had a broken arm. Heck had insisted that he didn't have enough strength to kill him. Bob could have fallen on the knife and stabbed himself and died.
1) Mr.Tate shows an example of what happens.plus Scout seen what happened.
?1) He said that because Jem was knocked out and had a broken arm. So he couldn't of through a grown man down in the dark. He is not strong enough to do that anyways.

#1)
The reason he isists this is besause he says Jem, being his age, having a broken arm, could not do that. He would have to dragg him off of Scout, grab the Knife, and stab him. In a way it's true because how could he do that being his age and a broken arm.
#1..... Heck Tate said that Bob Ewell fell and landed on his knife. Bob was trying to pull Jem off of Scout and he tripped and fell on his knife. So he killed him sel and Jem didnt because he had a broken arm and couldnt take on a grown man.
#1 Cause Jem was knocked out and had a broken arm. Heck insists Jem didn't have enough strength to kill him. Heck could have fallen on a knife. When Jem pulled him down.
He is the one that got that drunk and got angery enough to kill a couple of kids.If he wouldn't have got that drunk he might have only thretened to be that low to get his way.
#1 he stabed himself will he was drunk. then he had a broken arm.
1 Heck insists that Bob's death was self-inflicted because Jem had a broken arm. Also, he was tired and smaller than him. Heck even demonstrated that it was possible for the knife to go into him after he fell.
#1 Because he was laying under the tree wich had looked like if he triped and stabed himself. But still possible that Jem killed him even though he didnt.
1.
Heck Tate said that to cover up for Jem and Boo Radley. He didn't want people to think it was Jem or find out it was Boo. So they said he killed himself so no one would get in torbble.
1.
Jem didn't have enough strength to be able to kill a grown man when he has a broken arm. It is partly true because it would be really hard for him to kill him if he had a broken arm and head injuries. Also it is possible he could have fell on himself and stabbed himself.
1. Heck thinks that the wound is self inflicted because he says it looks like it. Bob was drunk.
1 Heck insists that Bob's death was self-inflicted because Jem had a broken arm. Also, he was tired and smaller than him. Heck even demonstrated that it was possible for the knife to go into him after he fell.
1. He insists this because he says that he trips on a root. He showed what happened with a switch blade knife. This is partly truw because Scout said Jem pulled him off of her.
#1 Jem had a broken arm and was briefly knocked out. He could'nt have stabbed a grown man. I believe he fell on the knife and stabbed himself.
Q. 1
Heck Tate insists that Bob Ewell's death was self-inflicted because he does not want people to think it was Jem who killed him. Jem pulled him down causing him to trip and fall.
*I don't understand how it is partly true, either he killed himself or someone else killed him. =/
Number 1:
Heck Tate insists because he doesn't want Mr. Radley to be accused or bothered by anyone. Mr. Tate said Bob Ewell tripped over a root and fell on his knife. I do not know if this is true.
#1. He said that Tate fell on his knife. The way he did is Jem jurked him and he tripped, and fell on his knife. Atticus thinks Jem stabbed him.

He seys that he stabed him self by falling on his knife. He does this so Jem doesn't he the killing of a man over his head for the rest of his life. This could be ture becuas he was realy drunk.
#1
When Mr.Heck Tate came he told
them that Mr.Bob Ewell had died.
Then Mr. Heck Tate asked Scout to
tell him what happened. Scout
said "Well, when we were coming
back Jem had gotten knocked down
and then I heard them moving
around. Then someone grabbed me
and was squeezing me to death.
Then someone pulled them off of
me. I thought that Jem had gotten
up and pulled him off of me. Then
I heard someone coughing and
weezing and thought that it was
Jem. But the cough was to low to
be Jems and then I saw Mr.Boo I
mean Mr. Arthur Radley carry Jem
here." So, you don't know who came
and pulled Mr.Bob Ewell off of
you?" "Well, I thought that Jem
had gotten back up and pulled him
off of me," explained Scout. "I
think that when Jem got knocked
down he wouldn't have been able to
get back up because he had a
broken arm," Mr.Heck Tate
explained to Atticus. But Atticus
wouldn't let Heck win this
argument. "I have proof Mr.Finch
that Jem didn't kill Bob Ewell,"
Heck said. "Don't try and make
things better Heck I don't want my
kids to be mad at me because they
said that Jem did it and they
would think that I told the whole
town that Jem didn't kill them and
so just leave it at that," Atticus
explained. "Okay, but Mr.Ewell
fell on his knife, just like this
one, and he died next to that tree
by the school, so Jem didn't kill
him he killed himself," explained
Heck. Atticus went up to Scout and
asked" Would, you understand if I
told you that Jem did not kill
Mr.Ewell?" "Yessum, I would
understand, perfectly," Scout said.

1. A white woman might say that her life in 1930s was easy (not a lot of responsibility), but they had many restrictions. The richer white families had a cook, maids, a nurse, and a yard man. Their families were “good”. They were all church-goers, respected, and proper. They were very social within the community, but it didn’t necessarily mean wealthy. Wealthy meant the man of the house made a good amount of money and that you owned land that brought cash flow. Still, they weren’t allowed to play or be friends with poor whites or blacks. They were to be respectful, but not close.
Black women’s lives were very different. They were usually poor and worked long hours for little pay, usually serving white families. Their ancestors were slaves and they often lived in the “Quarters” (a run-down black community on the outskirts of the main town/city). Still, they were expected to dress their best and use their good grammar when speaking to whites. They talked differently amongst their own race and were made very aware of where they weren’t allowed to go and what they weren’t allowed to do. As children, they didn’t communicate much with whites because they were never in or near the Quarters. Most blacks weren’t educated, but if they were, it was either quite expensive or low-quality. The two races basically lived separate lives.
