BOB
EWELL, THE
UNEMPLOYED. Scout relates that Bob became "the only man I
ever heard of to be fired from the WPA for laziness." The Works Progress Administration
was a program founded by President Franklin Roosevelt to establish jobs for local work
projects. Apparently, just about anybody could be hired--but only Bob could be fired. He
later blamed Atticus for "getting" his
job.
BOB
EWELL STALKS. Bob began
stalking and harrassing Tom Robinson's wife, Helen, following her while quietly cursing
her and making other crude remarks. Link Deas threatened to have him arrested, so Bob
finally gave it up.
BOB
EWELL PROWLS. Bob apparently
tried to break into Judge Taylor's house while the judge's wife was away. But when
Taylor went onto his porch to investigate, he only saw an escaping
shadow.
