To Kill a Mockingbird - Comprehensive Notes

Chapter 1

Setting: Maycomb, Alabama, 1930s.
Narrator: Jean Louise “Scout” Finch.
Scout recounts when Jem, her brother, was almost 13, he broke his arm badly.
They often discussed the cause, Scout blaming the Ewells, Jem blaming Dill and Boo Radley.
Jem later suggested if the Finches never moved to Alabama, the incident wouldn't have happened.
The Finches are Southerners, thus family history and reputation are important.
Ancestor, Simon Finch, was a stingy and religious man.
Simon Finch used his savings to establish Finch’s Landing.
Finch’s Landing: The ancestral home of the Finch family.
Aunt Alexandra, Atticus’ sister, now resides at Finch’s Landing with her husband.
Atticus Finch studied law in Montgomery, Alabama.
His brother, Jack, studied medicine in Boston.
Atticus returned to Maycomb after law school.
Maycomb is described as a tired, old town with slow-moving people.
Life moved slowly, especially during hot summer days, with a lack of places to go or things to buy.
Atticus, Jem, and Scout lived on the main street.
Atticus played with Scout and Jem treated them well and read to them.
Calpurnia, the cook, was strict with Scout, questioning her behavior compared to Jem.
Calpurnia usually won arguments, supported by Atticus.
Scout’s mother died of a heart attack when Scout was two years old.
Jem seemed to miss their mother.
During summer, when Scout was six and Jem was nine, they met Dill (Charles Baker Harris) in Miss Rachel’s garden.
Dill was spending the summer with his aunt, Rachel, from Mississippi.
Dill impressed them with movie descriptions sparking play-acting.
Dill’s fascination with the Radley house began.
The Radley house is described as dilapidated and ominous.
Rumors about “Boo” Radley included nocturnal peeping and freezing flowers with his breath.
Boo Radley's history: Arthur (Boo) was involved with a bad crowd in high school.
They locked a court officer in the outhouse (bathroom).
To avoid further legal action, Boo’s father took him home, isolating him from the public.
Years later, Boo allegedly stabbed his father with scissors while making a scrapbook.
Mr. Radley was considered a mean man who never spoke to neighbors.
Upon Mr. Radley’s death, his other son, Nathan, moved in and was equally reclusive and unfriendly.
Atticus discouraged discussion about the Radleys, but Dill's curiosity grew.
Dill wondered about Boo Radley's activities and appearance.
Speculations about Boo’s appearance: six and a half feet tall, ate squirrels and cats, yellow teeth, drooled.
Dill dared Jem to knock on the Radley’s door.
Jem hesitated for three days.
Dill taunted Jem, finally convincing him.
Jem ran to the Radley house, slapped it, and sprinted back.
They thought they saw movement inside.

Chapter 2

Scout anticipated starting the first grade.
Atticus made Jem take Scout to school and might gave him bribe money
Jem cautioned Scout not to bother him during school because he was in the fifth grade but Scout was in the first grade.
Scout's teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher, was young (twenty-one) and new to Maycomb.
Miss Caroline Fisher bright auburn hair, pink cheeks, and wore crimson fingernail polish.
Miss Caroline Fisher came from Winston County, northern Alabama.
Miss Caroline read a story about anthropomorphic cats, which the class found immature.
Scout’s ability to read upset Miss Caroline.
Miss Caroline believed Atticus taught Scout incorrectly and wanted to correct the “damage.”
Scout learned to read by sitting on Atticus’ lap while he read the newspaper.
Miss Caroline also disapproved of Scout’s writing ability, learned from Calpurnia copying the Bible.
During lunch, Miss Caroline offered Walter Cunningham a quarter, which he refused due to his family's pride.
Scout explained the Cunninghams’ situation to Miss Caroline, but she didn’t understand.
The Cunninghams were poor but refused charity.
Example: Mr. Cunningham paid Atticus for legal work with wood and hickory nuts.
Miss Caroline misunderstood Scout’s explanation as rudeness and disciplined her with a ruler.
Scout was sent to the corner until lunchtime.
Miss Caroline was overwhelmed and buried her head in her arms.
Scout would have felt sorry for her if she had not been so mean to her.

Chapter 3

Scout was angry at Walter Cunningham for getting her in trouble.
Scout wrestled with Walter Cunningham and pushed his face into the ground.
Jem stopped the fight and invited Walter Cunningham to lunch.
The children walked past the Radley house to the Finch’s house.
Walter Cunningham tells Jem that he almost died because he ate the pecans from their tree.
The children think that Boo poisons the nuts.
Walter Cunningham discussed farming with Atticus during lunch.
Walter Cunningham said he has trouble passing the first grade because he has to leave school every spring to help on the farm.
Walter poured molasses over his food, causing Scout to make a rude comment.
Calpurnia scolded Scout for her behavior towards a guest.
Calpurnia advises Scout that you shouldn’t make fun of people even if you think you are better than them, especially when they are a guest in your house.
Atticus defended Calpurnia when Scout suggested firing her.
Atticus said that Calpurnia is valuable to the family and that Scout should listen to what Cal says.
In the afternoon, Miss Caroline tried to manage Burris Ewell, who had lice.
Burris Ewell only attended school on the first day to avoid truancy officers.
Burris Ewell’s mother is dead and his father is a low-class white man who drinks a lot.
Burris Ewell was rude to Miss Caroline and left after making her cry.
Little Chuck, another student in the class, helps Miss Caroline and tells Burris to go home menacingly.
After Burris Ewell left, we all tried to comfort her.
After school, the children ran past the Radley house.
Calpurnia made a special treat of mine for dinner and Scout was sure that Calpurnia had seen her errors in the way she treated me at lunch.
Atticus asked Scout if she was ready to read with him that night.
Scout told Atticus about her day and Miss Caroline’s instructions regarding reading.
Scout tells Atticus that she didn’t want to go to school anymore that day.
Atticus encouraged Scout to understand others’ perspectives.
Atticus teaches Scout that “you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view -- … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Atticus explained the Cunninghams’ poverty and Miss Caroline’s unfamiliarity with Maycomb’s ways.
Atticus explained that the law bends for the Ewells due to their circumstances; they are allowed to do certain privileges by being an Ewell and living in their situation.. They don’t have to go to school, and Mr. Bob Ewell, the father, is permitted to hunt and trap animals out of season.
Atticus says that the people allow them certain privileges by being a Ewell and living in their situation.. They don’t have to go to school and Mr. Bob Ewell, the father, is permitted to hunt and trap animals out of season.
Atticus says that you can’t punish the children for the father’s faults.
Atticus and I made a compromise. Scout agreed to attend school if they could continue reading together nightly, in secret.

Chapter 4

The school year passed uneventfully. One day, Scout notices something shiny in the knot-hole of an oak tree near the Radley house.
Scout runs to the Radley’s house as she normally does, but stops because something caught her eye.
Next to the Radley house there were two tall oak trees. One of the trees had a knot-hole, and there was some shiny tinfoil sticking out of it.
Scout found two pieces of chewing gum (Wrigley’s Double-Mint) inside.
Scout snatched it up and ran home, even though she wanted to cram it into her mouth.
Scout ran home, showed Jem the gum, and they debated whether to chew it.
Scout found the gum in the Radley’s tree.
Jem warned her against touching Radley’s trees because she’ll get killed if she do.
Summer was approaching, and with it, Dill’s visit.
On the last day of school. Scout and Jem noticed shiny tinfoil again in the knot-hole in the Radley’s oak trees.
Scout and Jem both ran over, grabbed the prize and hurried home to examine it.
It was a small jewelry box covered in tinfoil wrappers. Inside the box were two Indian-head pennies that were really old.
Since this was pretty special, I began to think that this knot-hole might be someone’s special hiding place.
They considered it might be someone’s hiding place and debated whether to keep the pennies.
Jem suggested that they keep them until school starts and then ask everyone if they’re theirs. Jem looked back at the Radley’s house for a long time and seemed to be real thoughtful.
Dill arrived, and after they meet up with him, he suggested resuming their play-acting.
On the first day of summer, Dill suggests picking up where they left off play-acting.
Scout suggested instead to play roll in the tire.
Scout got dizzy and lost control, ending up in the Radley’s yard.
Scout hears Jem yelling behind her and then bumps into something and stops. She lays on the cement for a while and hears Jem’s voice yelling at her to “get away from there. Come on!”
Scout bumps into the Radley’s steps after rolling into the yard.
Jem retrieved the tire, and Calpurnia called them in for lemonade.
They enjoyed lemonade, but Jem decided to play Boo Radley.
Throughout the summer, they acted as the Radley’s characters in their dialogues and perfecting our act, adding dialogue and made it long.
Atticus saw them playing, discouraging the Radley-themed play and and told the children that he hoped we were not pay acting about the Radleys.
Atticus’ seeing the play was the first reason why Scout wanted to sop playing this.
Scout wanted to stop playing this game. Jem and Scout argued over whether or not she should stop acting this out since Atticus told her not to.
The second reason, after the tire incident, Scout heard laughter from inside the Radley house.
It was a soft sound. Someone inside of the house were laughing.

Chapter 5

So, Scout thought they should stop playing “Boo Radley” because Atticus had warned them not to.
Jem suggested changing the names of the characters and then nobody would know.
Dill was being annoying. He had asked Scout earlier in the summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it.
Dill and Jem were becoming so close, and Scout was beginning to feel left out.
Scout was beginning to feel left out in Dill and Jem’ friendship, so she became friendly with Miss Maudie Atkinson.
Miss Maudie was a nice lady who lived across the street.
She had always let us play in her yard, but we had never really been close to her. Now Maudie hated being indoors.
She thought that time spent indoors was time wasted.
She was a widow who worked in her garden wearing an old straw hat and men’s overalls.
Miss Maudie She was honest, treated them with respect, and didn’t like gossip.
Scout admired Miss Maudie’s gold prongs on her eyeteeth, leading Miss Maudie to show her her dentures.
Miss Maudie made the best cakes in the neighborhood.
Miss Maudie would yell, “Jem Finch, Scout Finch, Charles Baker Harris, come here!”, she would cook small cakes for them.
Scout and Miss Maudie had a conversation about Boo Radley, also known as Arthur and Scout asked, “Miss Maudie, do you think Boo Radley’s still alive?”
Miss Maudie knows that Arthur Radley is alive because she hasn’t seen anyone carry out a body! “What a morbid question. I know he’s alive, Jean Louise, because I haven’t seen anyone carry out a body!”
Jem said that maybe he died and they stuffed him up in the chimney.
Miss Maudie said, “Tsk. Tsk. Jem gets more like Jack Finch every day. They’re both such wise-guys!” Jack Finch was my uncle, Atticus’s brother, and Miss Maudie had known him since they were children.
Miss Maudie had grown up near Finch’s Landing and used to play with Jack.
Uncle Jack visited our house every Christmas, and every Christmas he yelled across the street for Miss Maudie to come marry him.
He was such a jokester!
Miss Maudie would call back, “Call a little louder, Jack Finch, and they’ll hear you at the post office!”
“Arthur Radley just stays in the house, that’s all. Wouldn’t you stay in the house if you didn’t want to come out?”
Miss Maudie continued her answer about Boo Radley.
Scout asked; “Yessum, but I’d wanta come out. Why doesn’t he?”
Miss Maudie explained that Mr. Radley was a “foot-washing Baptist” which means that he believes anything that’s a pleasure is a sin.
She said that some of those Baptists even passed by her house once and told her that she and her flowers were going to hell.
They thought that Miss Maudie spent too much time outdoors and not enough time inside the house reading the Bible.
Miss Maudie said that these people were taking the Bible too literally.
She said, “Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of – oh, of someone like your father.”
She also said that “there are just some kind of men who—who’re so busy worrying about the next world that they’ve never learned to enjoy this one. Like the Radleys.”
Miss Maudie said that all the stories about Boo were gossip from people like Stephanie Crawford, who was always in everybody’s business.
She said that she remembered Arthur as a really nice boy.
The next day Scout caught Jem and Dill planning something. They finally told me what it was.
They were going to try to get a note to Boo Radley!! They were going to put the note on the end of a fishing pole and stick it through the shutters.
If anyone came along the street, Dill would ring the bell to warn Jem.
Dill explained what the note said, “We’re askin’ him real politely to come out sometimes, and tell us what he does in there – we said we wouldn’t hurt him and we’d buy him an ice cream.”
Scout told Dill that he and jem were crazy and that Boo would kill them!
Dill was ringing his bell with all his might in Atticus’s face, while Jem was trying to get the note in the window.

Chapter 6

When Atticus found out what Jem, Dill, and Scout were trying to do, he told Jem to stop tormenting Arthur Radley.
He said that what Arthur did was his own business, not ours.
If he wanted to come out, he would, and if he didn’t, he had a right to stay inside without inquisitive children harassing him.
He ended by saying that he did not want to see us playing the asinine game he had seen us playing or make fun of anybody on this street or in this town!!
Jem and Atticus discussed the “game”, and Jem realized Atticus had tricked him into admitting they were acting out Radley gossip.
Atticus had used the oldest lawyer’s trict on him! Atticus had pretended he knew we were playing Boo Radley, when really he only suspected it, and then Jem confessed without realizing!
On Dill’s last night with the Finches, Dill and Jem argued over which one of them could pee further
Dill took notice to Mr. Avery peeing off his porch
Later that night Dill and Jem snuck off to peep in the Radley’s window to see if they could get a look at Boo, and scout was forced to follow.
After giving Dill a boost up to look in the window, and seeing that he didn’t see anything, Scout, Dill, and Jem went around back of the Radley’s house, where Jem crept across the porch and peeked in a window.
It at that Jem saw the shadow of a man wearing a hat
The Shadow stopped about a foot beyond Jem
The Shadow’s arm came out from its side, dropped, and was still. Then it turned and moved back across Jem, walked along the porch and off the side of the house, returning as it had come.
All of a sudden a Shotgun was fired!
In the frenzy to escape scout tripped, and Jem’s pants got caught on the fence.
Jem Had to leave them there.
The kids realized that the neighbor were out to investigate, so in order to keep their snooping a secret, they better show up or else people might start to realize that it was US sneaking around in their yard.
The children ran to meet the neighbors and Mr. Nathan Radley standing with a shotgun by his side.
Dill lied to the neighbors and told them that they were playing strip poker, and Jem lost his pants.
The neighbors didn’t suspect anything but were worried about the children gambling, especially with matches.
Jem had to sneak out to go back and get his pants, which were still stuck in the Radley’s fence. If he didn’t get the pants back, Atticus would know that Dill’s strip poker excuse wasn’t true.

Chapter 7

Scout let Jem be when he got back tried to do as Atticus taught me and walk around in Jem’s skin.
As Scout started the second grade, Jem told her what happened when he went back to get his pants.
When Jem went back to get his shorts from the Radley’s place they were sewed up all crooked like someone who had never sewn anything before, and left folded for me.
Jem and Scout kept walking and noticed in the knot-hole of the tree that there was a ball of gray twine, so they leaved it there for a few days and if it was still there then they’d take it.
Second grade was not great. Jem told me that you don’t learn anything of value until 6th grade which is what he was in. He was learning about Egyptians and thought they were the smartest since they invented all kinds of great things.
One day in October they were Walking by the tree and noticed somethin white.
Scout pulled out two small images carved in soap. One was the figure of a boy and the other was in a crude dress.
When they are looked at them at look at them closely and determined it was supposed to be the them.
It dawned on Jem that this knot-hole might be someone’s special hiding place.
A week or so later we found a whole package of chewing gum in the knot-hole, which we enjoyed. The following week we found a tarnished medal.
Atticus identified it as a spelling bee medal, and told the children that someone lost it.
The biggest treasure we found in the knot-hole came four days later then a pocket watch that wouldn’t run, on a chain with an aluminum knife which Atticus thought would be worth tend dollars.
To show our appreciation, Jem thought it would be a good idea to we wrote a letter to whoever’s leaving these things.
Jem was On the verge of telling me something all evening but Would change his mind.
The next morning they took our letter to the knot-hole and were shocked to see it filled with cement.
They asked Mr. Radley why’d you put cement in that hole in that tree down yonder
Why’d you do it, sir?” “Tree’s dying. You plug ‘em with cement when they’re sick. You ought to know that, Jem.”
Atticus said that tree’s tree’s as healthy as you are, Jem. Why?” “Mr. Nathan Radley said it was dyin’.”
Jem stood there until nightfall and Scout noticed when he came in he had been crying, but I thought it odd that I had not heard him.

Chapter 8

Maycomb experienced an exceptionally cold winter, during which Mrs. Radley died.
Jem and I thought that Boo had finally gotten her. The next morning Scout woke up to snow.
Since school was closed because of the snow, Jem and Scout make a snowman.
A discussion about whether or not it was okay to make a snow man that was black.
Atticus complimented Jem and thought whatever he ended up being in life, he’d never run out of ideas.
Atticus told them they needed to disguise their snowman by putting an apron and broom since it looked too much like Mr. Avery.
Later that night Scout was awakened by Atticus because Miss Maddie’s house was on fire.
Atticus tells Jem and Scout to stay in front of the Radley place while he helped Miss Maddie.
Miss Maddie’s house was destroyed she was lucky to get out safely it was cold the neighbors were trying to help and Mr. Avery got stuck when he came out a window.
Atticus looked over at Scout with curiosity and then sternness then asked her who’s blanket is that when he noticed she had one because Jem and I were supposed to stay put.
Jem seemed to have lost his mind. He started telling Atticus all of our secrets. About the hiding place, Mrs. Radley covering the knot-hole with cement, pants and all.
Atticus told him to slow down and that it is probably a good idea that we keep the blanket to ourselves.
“Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up.” “Thank who?” I asked. “Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you.” Scout almost threw up with the thought.
Miss Maddie’s house burned totally down was she was glad because she had more room for a garden now.

Chapter 9

Scout had an Argument after she almost got into a fight with Cecile Jacobs at school over Atticus protecting Negroes but Atticus had asked her not to get into fights with anyone regarding his Tom Robinson case.
Atticus Explained that he was defending a man named Tom Robinson from their church one of the people who said I shoot defend.
They argued Back and Forth about it and finally Atticus Explains that it’s so important to him that if he didn’t do it he couldn’t tell Scout and Jem To Obey him Because he wouldn’t be able to hold his head up in Pride and Respect anymore.
Scout Argued to have to keep from fighting At school and Atticus told her to try fighting with her head instead.
Christmas was coming and Scout was excited because her uncle Jack was coming but nervous because she was going to have to spend time with Francis her cousin who always made her angry.
At Finch’s Landing, FrancisAngered cout by making fun of Dale and talking badly about her father. Francis said my GMA says it’s Bad Enough that Atticus Lets Scout run wild but now they will never be able to walk the streets of Maycomb again because he’s ruined the family by turning out and N lover.
Scout Beat up Francis at because he Made her So angry so Uncle Jack punished her without listening to her side of the story.
Scout ran to Atticus who comforted her and explain things to Uncle Jack which caused Uncle Jack to get angry at Francis also because he hadn’t listened to both sides of the story.
Late that night Atticus and Jack talked about the trial which Atticus hoped Jem and Scout would come to him for help when those tough and ugly things came about instead of getting it from maycomb.

Chapter 10

Scout complained that Atticus wasn’t as young and athletic as the other fathers, and Miss Maudie said he was a great lawyer and checker player.
Scout felt Atticus was too old, but Miss Maudie said he was the best checker-player in town, and that he was respected.
Atticus wouldn’t teach Jem and Scout how to shoot. Uncle Jack taught us and explained that Atticus wasn’t interested in guns.
One day Jem saw Tim Johnson on the street acting strange
“Shoot all the bluejays you what but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” He said it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird because mockingbirds doesn’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.
Cal saw Tim and she knew who’d call Mr. Atticus
She made Mr. HeckTate see who was mad and then HeckTate asked Atticus for his gun and the gun to shoot him and Aticus said heck knows how to shoot the gun.
Then the gun passed off to Atticus
Atticus has never shot a gun in 30 years
The sheriff couldn’t shoot the dog for the fear of missing and hitting the Radley Place.
Atticus took the gun in shot the dog with one shot to the head.
Everyone found out Atticus used to be the deadliest shot they were calling their father’s one shot Finch.
Atticus shot the mad dog Tim Johnson so accurately for all the neighbors to see and called Mr. Tate a great Shooter
Because of this incident, the children found out their father used to be the deadliest shot in three counties.
*Miss Maddie explain that Atticus’s a civilized gentleman and that’s why he didn’t shoot because it was an innate Advantage Over other people.
Jem told Scout not to say anything about that to school on Monday he said “Atticus is real old, but I wouldn’t care if he couldn’t do anything – I wouldn’t care if he couldn’t do a blessed thing. Atticus is a gentleman, just like me!

Chapter 11

Mrs. Dubose lived two doors down from the Finch’s, and she was always mean to Jem and Scout.
Jem and Scout Hated her . She would yell at them and say Don’t you say hate me say good afternoon Mrs. Dubosé or asked questions about what we doing and what we would never grow up to be any good and she calls us disrespectful moods and told us it was a disgrace that Atticus Led us run wild.
When Jem complained to Atticus one time about Mrs. Dubose, Atticus Told them there was no reason to get angry and he tells him to be a gentleman, whatever she thinks it’s your job not to let her make you mad.
Atticus waved his hat as they walked by or would not say you’re a picture this evening which made Scout wonder what he ever said.a picture of what though!!
One day Jem snapped and broke all of Mrs. do business is came in bushes after a particularly long scolding in which she attacked all their faults including the fact that Atticus defended them you grow.
Atticus asked Gemini did you do any or responsible for this question mark Jem calmly said you I didn’t. “why would you do it” I was really feeling kind of bad about what you done you had his head down. Atticus said I understand that people have been giving you a hard time about the fact that I’ll be offended time Robinson but to do something like this to a sick old lady is inexcusable”.
Jem had to go read to Mrs. Dubose in the afternoons and have to read in the afternoons.
Scout asked his dad once what and nig lover Min and he basically said its stupid what she should never say it again
Scout Asked a question What is n lover she said that it’s just one of those terms that don’t mean anything light is not no it’s hard to explain, you know you and I should never say it.
One day they got the news that Mrs Duboise died Aticus explianed that she lived in pain to which he took morphine to control it and she didn’t want to die and dicated to the drug so to fight it off she took more and less every day she had the men come with a box a big box which a flower inside.
he tells Jem is very good to be a great and you and the courage is never a man with gun son.” I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. She broke her addiction to morphine, which was a very hard thing to do. She was the bravest person I ever knew.”

Chapter 13

Aunt Alexandra came to stay with the Finches to provide "feminine influence" for Scout & to help Atticus with the children.
Aunt alexandra was very occupied with heritable e heredity and where folks are From and the longer Squattin on the Patch of land the finer your Heritage must be.
Because Scout was in clean and proper so Aunt Alexandra had her come speak to the ladies anyway and act like everything was fine and she scolded me anyway.
Atticus tried to explain to the children that they came from generations of Gentlemen breeding and then it was most for their name to help try and make them believe that you know that they were better than everyone else. I knew that it wasn’t what he believed that those where what Aunt Alexandra wanted which hurt scout because he had never acted that way or believed it

Chapter 14

she Heard people in town talking bad about atticus. This prompted questions from scoot about what it means for someone to have a rape, Atticus try to explain it.
Aunt Alexandra told Scout she could not go to calpurnias house despite the fact that calpurnias said she could.
Aticus says scout better do as her all the time if she's living in this house
So scout was angry again she found dill and did what she could to help Dill and get home and he told them about how his new parents were. Ignoring them or not paying much attention to him . When out why did he wanted to run anyway from is home..
A dill was in the house it was finally discussed that they should not do if they let their parents know anyway but dill thought it was for the best.
scout was scared of book, and then she said what's to stop them from going off.

Chapter 15

Mr. Heck Tate and men told Atticus about Tom being moved to the local Jail. They feared Mob violence which caused Atticus to do to be there to keep them at bay.
I had some food after about the safety atticus and she would also not leave him alone about the Tom Robinson's case.
Jem was worried something bad might happen to Atticus so even when Atticus told me to he didn't want to go
That night, the kids, Jem and Dill snuck out to see what what Atticus was planning after being called by a woman that wasn't real and there was only a light with Amicus.
There they sat outside on their lawn and then some folks drove up in trucks and tried to tell Atticus to be from what guarding Tom's Jail but it was good thing he did anyway because folks was going to get him.
Scout Jem and Dill interrupted the confrontation between Atticus and Walter Cunningham at a mob that was there to kill Tom Roberson. Scout managed to break up the tension by talking to Mr. Cunningham about everyday things instead of being confrontational.and told I have to tell my and not to be at the courthouse which she was trying to do at the mob.
Scout and Jem got home safely and that the mob no longer presented a threat and they made it through.

Chapter 16

Scout had a fit got to sleep that night and Jem said it so that she was okay
she Got in trouble in the morning from Aunty Who complained that it was a shame that children were out there at that time of night.
*Atticus talks about about Mr. Brakston Underwood and how he’s a very odd person.
Aticus continues conversation with them about and mobs because a mob doesn’t have any reason but it doesn’t mean every individual inside of the Mob doesn’t have the potential to be a good person.
Jem scout and Dill went to the courthouse to be spectat
or she explains to her that black children are not considered to be anywhere just like her or them
*Dill learns it all that day how Mr. Dolphus Raymond does the same out of a bag to pretend that he's drinking alcohol so he can help people make sense out of what other people are doing.

Chapter 17

She was talking about Sheriff Tate and how he explained the trial has been set up to the. Testify and I guess I'll do the trial.
The sheriff said that it was all for the best as well even though Scout and Jem felt otherwise so they did the best thing they could and did what they did to explain it as best they can.
Robert Yule made his stance in the courtroom clear .
Mr Ewell took the stand and explained how what happens with the sheriff testimony and all the other things and it was what it was but Ewell also was left-handed and that would have mean if any one should have done it would have been someone with their left hand.

Chapter 18

Mayela and Scout then comes to the to get sworn in and Scout remembers this is it like the flowers outside their window.
My yell is story and so Atticus asked is about where all the children at the time of this so-called rape happened to have taken place because she said.
