To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 15, 16, 17.

Chapter 15 was the most obvious example of Scout's unreliable narration. She is completely unaware of why Jem would be concerned about Atticus, and the fact that the group of people that were talking to him were a lynch mob, hungry for blood and a sense of fulfillment and justice. At least, their idea of it. Also, Jem's role in Scout's life has taken a huge turn from what it once was, and that void was filled by Dill, in a way. Chapter 16 just goes to show further how unreliable Scout is going to be during the chapters related to court, but she is slowly coming to understand the world around her more and more, and Jem's new-found maturity is surely helping her on her way. Well, I stand corrected on chapter 17. Scout seems to know what leads Atticus is chasing, and what could be his downfalls. I honestly thought she would be more lost on all this, but I guess it's understandable if she spent a lot of her years talking to her dad about law. Either way, I really like how the courtroom scene is going, and I want to see how this all ends.
