Atticus tells Jem and Scout good-night earlier than usual because he will be gone when they are sleeping. This is just the kind of opportunity the adventuresome kids do not want to miss, so they sneak out after they have supposedly gone to bed. Jem and Scout pick up Dill and they walk through town looking for Atticus, though they do not really know where he is or what they might find. They had no intention of going to the jail; they simply do not want to be left out and the jail is where all the action in Maycomb is tonight. 22. Scout diffuses the situation by talking directly to Mr. Cunningham, who she recognizes. By talking about his legal business and his son Walter, who is in her grade, and by being polite in general, she brings him back to their shared kindness. 23.

Atticus cares about scouts like her dad. Atticus feels a sense of parenting and that he needs to explain to her how fighting isn't the best thing to do. Because of this reassurance, Atticus taught scouts about no fighting with their friends, and how to be smarter about it.

Francis, an arrogant boy. Scout, an obstreperous girl. Uncle Jack, a righteous man. Who wins this battle of faults?

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, crafted so lovingly by author Harper Lee, Scout sets out unknowingly on her search for a fight almost directly after she was told to play nice. Without a care for her age, Scout angers herself to the point in which she begins to desire dominance over those who oppose or offend her, and this just so happens to be the focal point of Francis’s mission. Francis is Scout’s cousin, whom she visited during Christmas on Finch’s Landing - her Auntie’s abode. Francis is the type of boy who gets
The theme of the conflict between Scout and cousin Francis is to not let words get to one’s emotions. In chapter seven Francis gradually gets under Scout’s skin more and more.
