To Kill A Mockingbird Chapters 15 and 16

In these chapters, Atticus leaves at night. The kids are interested in where he is going so they follow him. Jem, Dill, and Scout follow him to Maycomb jail where Tom Robinson is. Scout sees a group of men around Atticus and gets concerned. Scout decides to jump in to save her father from these men she is frightened of. Scout does not realize the situation that is going on here. She is very confused on what is going on. IT is hard for her to realize that adulthood is a scary thing. She does not understand how awful the realworld is. She also recognizes Mr. Cunningham in which she asks many questions to whom gets very aggrivated. I know that Scout is a child but she needs to keep herself together more even as Jem is getting older. In chapter 16, many people from outside of Maycomb County come to see the beginning day of the Tom Robinson trial. Scout still continues to ask Atticus why people are bad and why Mr. Cunningham wanted to hurt Atticus.The children see several different things as they enter the Court.  They see Mr. Dolphus Raymond with the Negroes which is very uncommon since he is white. They also find out that his children are mixed meaning they are half white and half black. The kids are not used to seeing something like this because they have grown up where there were blacks and whites so for them to hear about a  mix is very weird. The kids are seeing how scary and weird the real world/adulthood is.
