Scout still wonders when she will ever get to see Boo Radley come out of the house before she dies, but Atticus makes it clear that she is to stay away from the house.Back at school, Miss Gates tells them that what Hitler is doing to the Jews is wrong, and when Scout asks Jem about why can they hate Hitler but then do bad things to people in Maycomb, he gets mad. Apparently he is trying to forget something but meanwhile he was "storing it away for a while until enough time passed" (247).

Chapter 15
Literary Luminary
"I've never heard of a gang in Maycomb. Ku klux got after some Catholics one time" (147).
I chose this passage because, this sounds a bit suspicious. This passage shows the readers that there are some secrets in Maycomb.
"Hey Mr. Cunningham. the man did not hear me, it seemed. Hey Mr. Cunningham. How's your entailment gettin' along? ......Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham?......I go to school with Walter. Hes your boy, ain't he? Ain't he, sir? Mr. Cunningham was moved to a faint nod. He did know me, after all. He's in my grade, I said. And he does right well. He's a good boy, I added. A real nice boy. We brought him home for dinner one time. Maybe he told you about me, I beat him up one time but he was real nice about it. Tell him hey for me, won't you?"(153-154).
I chose this passage because after scout finished talking to Mr. Cunningham, all the men left Atticus. This shows that the men really thought about what they were going to do, and realized that they were doing something wrong.
"Finally Atticus returned, switched off the light above the jail door, and picked up his chair. Can I carry it for you Mr. Finch? asked Dill.... Sure son" (155).
I chose this passage because it shows that Dill is getting older and feels like a family member. Even Atticus says sure son.
Dill is finally allowed to stay at Maycomb and for a few days there is peace.One day,men gather up to speak to Atticus at home and Jem worries that the Ku Klux are back and he is worried abotu Atticus. Sunday night,Jem decideds to sneak out since Atticus did the unbelievable and took their car. As he gets up,Scout decides togot with him and Dill joins them too. Apparently,Atticus ended up at the Maycomb jail as they get closer to him Scout runs up to Atticus,surprising him. When Atticus tells Jem to take them home,he refuses many times until they see Mr.Cunnigham.When he leaves Atticus tells Tom that they "won't bother you anymore" (155).
