To Kill a Mocking Bird Ch. 12-17

During these chapter the trial gets closer and closer making Atticus away from home more often Becuase he has to travel this leaves room for Alexandra to come in and act like a "mother figure" for Jem and Scout. Which I think is dumb Becuase Alexandra just wants to control Atticus kids. That summer Dill doesn't come that summer because he supposedly has a new dad. This allows Scout to grow up or like see the side that she hasn't because she has no one to play with. This is good for scout Becuase she needs to learn and grow up sooner or later or she won't understand anything going on in the trial. However, Dill does escape and come back Becuase he feels like his parents aren paying attention to him. All during this Calpurnia takes Jem and Scout to her church which is an all black church which is very poor. During the trial Calpurnia becomes an important character Becuase she shows the difference of the white world that she works in and the black world that she is apart of during the trial. Overall, in these chapters the trial opens and up and the whole Finch family is being talked about and no one is on their side but a few. As the chapters unwind the trial gets deeper and deeper as the blacks fight the ewells.
