To Kill A Mockingbird
Chapters 13 - 15
Scout and Jem were surprised to Aunt Alexandra, but she explained that she and Atticus thought it would be good for her to stay with them during the summer. Scout figured it was really Aunt Alexandra who made the decision. Aunt Alexandra met everyone in Maycomb and had women over to talk and gossip. Aunt Alexandra wanted Scout to start acting like a lady. She told Atticus to have a talk to Jem and Scout about how important their family was to the town. She hoped that would help them understand that they needed to behave like a lady and a gentleman. Scout started to cry and said that this wasn't her father, that her Aunt had made him say these things. She worried that all this behaving would change them and asked if this was really what she wanted them to do. Atticus told them to forget all about it.
Dill got to stay with his Aunt. One night Mr. Tate (the sheriff) and some men came to talk to Atticus. They were putting Tom Robinson in jail for safety. Some men wanted to hurt Tom. On Sunday evening, Atticus said he was going to his office. Later Jem and Scout snuck out and got Dill. Jem said he had a bad feeling. The kids went downtown and saw Atticus sitting outside the jail. Four cars pulled up. Men got out and told Atticus to move away. They wanted to hurt Tom. Atticus said to leave him alone. Scout ran to Atticus. Atticus tried to order Jem to go home, but he wouldn't. One man grabbed Jem and Scout kicked the man. Scout recognized Mr. Cunningham. She talked to him, but he ignored her. Scout didn't give up. She asked didn't he recognize her? She was Walter's friend. She said to tell Walter hi. Finally Mr. Cunningham bent down and said he would tell Walter she said hi. Then the men left. When they walked home, Scout thought Atticus would be mad at Jem for not leaving when Atticus had told him to. But all Atticus did was rub Jem's hair.
