TKAMB: 15 and 16
Dill is allowed to in Maycomb for a while. After he snuck in? Ok. People confront Atticus at his home and they made threats. Atticus doesn't back down and says the truth will come out. Atticus with a lightbulb goes in his car to the front of the jail where he was reading. Scout dill and jem had followed him and hid. Cars pull up and the people want to enter to beat up Tom Robinson, Atticus says no (brave). Scout is upset and reveals herself (she really doesn't understand the consequences). Scout fights a little then sees mr. Cunningham and tells him to say hi to Walter for her. Mr. Cunningham tells everyone to leave. Surprisingly no one get in trouble. The next day everyone is feeling down. They go to the courthouse and see mr. Raymond in the black section of the courthouse and scout asks why. Atticus says because he likes them better and that he had children with an African American women. And that they were "mixed" and did not belong anywhere. I found that rude and awkward but when I thought about it I realized that it was true, he wouldn't be respected by the whites or the blacks. Then scout asked if they were 100 percent white. That reminded me of Harry potter and "pure bloods" when in reality almost no one is 100% anything or they just don't know. Reverend Sykes asks them to join him after all seats were taken. They sat in the black section. And realized that the jury was not fair and equal.
