TKAM CHAPTERS: 7,8,9,10,11,12,13

After the school year begins, jem tells scout how he found his pants hungover the fence nicely which was weird to me because why were they like that? was it boo radley? Also when they come home from school they find something more in the knot hole, the ball of grey twine and then a few days later take it. Scout i feel still doesnt like school but jem tells her itll get better. They find more things in the knothole, like soap and gum. The next day the knot hole is filled with cement because the tree is dying. In chapter 8 it snows which is rare and scout and jem make a snowman that looks like Mr. Avery a man they dont like but it looks so much like him that Atticus wants them to disguise it. Next miss maudies house burns down and the next day shes cheerful which is weird, why would she be happy her house burned down? Also, during this a blanket is put over scout and then she realizes it was boo radley. In chapter 9 a boy named Cecil Jacobs makes Scout very angry because he says "scout finches daddy defends niggers." This is because Atticus is defending Tom Robinson a black man being accused of raping a white woman. We meet uncle jack in this chapter, and aunt alexandra, francis, and alexandra's husband. While they are there francis calls scouts dad a nigger lover so scout beats him and francis tells on her and uncle jack spanks her without hearing her side of the story but once she tells him he is furious but she says not to tell Atticus. In chapter 10, scout just talks about how Atticus shot a dog on the first try and she wants to brag but Jem says she shouldnt because if he wanted them to know he would of told them already. In chapter 11 they talk about Mrs. Dubose a lady who always shouts at Jem and Scout when they walk by. Atticus tells them to be nice to her because shes old and sick but Jem ruins all her plants with a baton after she says "Atticus isnt any better than the niggers and trash he works for." His punishment is that he has to read to her every day for a month. After jem's punishment she ends up dying a little after which is upsetting because jem finds out she was addicted to morphine and the reading helped with her addiction. Atticus then gives jem a white camellia that Mrs. Dubose had left for him and I thought this was very special and made Jem think twice about Mrs. Dubose. In chapter 12, scout finds out that Dill has a new dad and wont come to maycomb this year and is very upest. She also finds out that Atticus has to travel the state capital every day for two weeks. Next, calpurnia takes jem and scout to her colored church where she finds out Tom Robinson is being accused by mr. ewell and is confused as to how anyone would believe him because maybe mr. ewell is mean man to Scout. In chapter 13 Aunt Alexandra is very welcomed to the town and everyone bakes her cakes and invites her over for coffee and she insists to Atticus to lecture scout and jem on their ancestry but he only ends up making Scout cry and i dont really understand why she did get so upset...
