Did the ending of the novel surprise you? If you were the author, would you have ended the story differently? Explain.
The ending of the novel did surprise me. I did not expect Arthur to come out and defend Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell's murderous intentions. I also did not expect Mayella Ewell to commit suicide. If I was the author, I would have placed more emphasis on the court case as that was actually the main gist of the story and that is where most values are learned. Other than that I thought that the story was very good, especially the reality of the story where Tom Robinson still died despite the truth being told. In reality the good guys may not always win and injustice is bound to happen. This can be related with the present situation many countries are in now, where crimes are committed everyday and not all criminals are caught.
