To Kill A Mockingbird

In these chapters, a lot happens! In good ways and in bad ways. Okay so Scout and Jem go back to school and Scout begins the third grade. Scout's teacher Miss Gates talks about Germany and Adolf Hitler. Scout says a very important quote to Jem. She says, "Jem, how can [someone] hate Hitler so bad an' then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home." Scout knows a lot for a child in the third grade. She is starting to view how hypocritical people are. She doesn't see that someone can hate somebody who live so far away and still be rude to the Negroes of Maycomb County. Scout is saying a lot here and I believe it is an important aspect of the novel. Another important situation is when Scout and Jem are walking back home from the high school after Scout finishes the play she is in for Halloween. They are scared by Bob Ewell and he attacks them. Scout loses Jem and she sees Boo Radley bringing him into their house. When Scout sees Aunt Alexandra and Scout's dress ripped dress Aunt Alexandra hands Scout overalls. This says a lot in the novel. It shows that Scout is growing up where she is acting like a lady and deserving the overalls. It also shows that Aunt Alexandra is more sympathetic and kind to Scout now that she is growing up. Scout argues less with Aunt Alexandra which is shown in chapter 24 when she asks Aunt Alexandra's mission group if they would like any refreshments. Lastly i love this novel because Boo Radley is indeed real. Boo Radley comes and saves the day for the Finch children. He helps Jem after Bob Ewell hurt him very bad. This was a great way to end the book. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, I thought it was written very clever and it such and interesting plot line. I love how the children narrate the book, it makes it a lot more interesting and enjoyable than previous books I have read.
