pockets and strolled
on while attakus may be calm the
children are on edge what if Bob Ule
carries out his threat how will they
survive without attus what if they're
forced to live with Aunt
Alexandra this is
bad but let's not panic just yet adus
explains that Bob Yule is just blowing
off steam and if being spat at means
mayela U avoids another beating from Bob
then attakus can take it the children
decide this is a fair point but their
fear for Tom Robinson's fate remains
if he loses his appeal he'll go to the
chair Jem firmly believes that the law
needs changing looks like someone will
be following in his Father's
Footsteps adus explains that the issues
there facing Run Deep it's not as easy
as just rewriting the law until people's
racist attitudes change juries will
continue to make unjust
decisions

just one big headache people are too
Petty and Prejudiced to get along with
each other and live
peacefully no wonder bu Radley doesn't
want to leave his
house unfortunately for scout danger
lurks inside her house Aunt Alexandra's
missionary circle is a pastel colored
Minefield Scout must wear a pink dress
and be a lady for a day run Scout it's a
trap the ladies of the missionary

then seeing their faces fell down in the
dirt she knew just by looking at them
that Tom was
dead news of Tom's death was generally
received in makm with cruel
cynicism many believed that it was
inevitable for Tom to try and pull a
stunt like this considering his race the
tone shifts when Mr Underwood publishes
an editorial the makm Tribune he
compared the killing of Tom Robinson To
The senseless Slaughter of song birds by
hunters and
children Scout soon realizes Mr
Underwood's meaning Tom would never have
received Justice he was a dead man from
the moment may Ule screamed
rape meanwhile Bob Ule is still on the
war path word has gotten through to
scout via Miss Stephanie of course that
Bob still craves revenge against attacus
for humiliating him in
court Bob Ule makes buo Radley seem like
a big old teddy bear you'd think Scout
would have forgotten about Buu after
everything that's happened think again
by the way attakus knew it was the
children who narrowly escaped being shot
in the dark by Mr Nathan Radley remember
when Jim's pants got caught that was two
summers ago and attakus knew the whole
time he probably figured out that being
shot at was punishment
enough but boo not a priority right now
Scout is bothered by something at school
her third grade teacher Miss Gates
recently taught the class about Adolf
Hitler's awful persecution of Jewish
people but something about the lesson
seemed to
stink how can scout take her seriously
when she has heard Miss Gates make
racist
remarks just after Tom Robinson's trial
Scout heard Miss Gates say to miss
Stephanie that it's time somebody taught
him a lesson they were getting way above
themselves how can miss Gates rave on
about Hitler one moment and then be ugly
towards African-American people the
next Scout decides to discuss this with
Jim she seeks his guidance on how to
interpret Miss Gates's lesson about
Hitler considering her racist comments
at the
courthouse but when Scout mentions the
courthouse to Jim he flies into a rage
he grabs her by the collar and commands
her to never ever me mention the
courthouse
again are Scout and Gem starting to
drift
