TKAM chapter 9

In chapter 9, in the beginning of the chapter when Scout actually walked away from a fight at school, I was very surprised. He even said that he would never usually do that, but he took Atticus` word to heart.
I also thought it was very cool when uncle jack talked to Scout, because I feel like he wants to be a good parent figure for her. Also in this chapter, we meet a new character named Francis. They were family, but he kept purposely getting her in trouble.
