    This substage ends in defeat for Scout, as she feels that Tom (the man on trial) “wasn’t guilty in the first place and [the jury] said he was” (224). Scout ends her initiation with the “Atonement with the Father” when she and Jem were attacked by Bob Ewell who “smelled [like] stale whiskey” and “[walked] heavily and unsteadily” toward them (266-267).
