To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 1-3

On the Sunday evening Atticus travels to the jail to stand guard and protect Tom Robinson as he was notified of possible “trouble and disturbance at the Jail’. When Jem and Dill run into the crowd, led by Scout, they are suddenly aware that they have walked into a bad situation. Though Jem realises the situation is precarious, he made a decision to stay and help Atticus protect Tom even after his father’s thorough protests. Dill and Scout on the other hand, are still too young to completely understand what is going on. They stand and fight with Jem though, knowing what he is doing will be what is right. Atticus continues to plea, order, threaten and at times, almost beg in a desperate attempt for the children to go home. He realises what a dangerous situation this is and could become if the mob turns violent so wants to protect them from this.

“Look smartass, I don’t make stupid decisions anymore, so maybe you should stop before someone else kills you out on the field.” Atticus smiled sarcastically at the boy. He nodded his head vigorously before grabbing his bag and running out of the locker room. Atticus let out a frustrated sigh, not because of the boy. Just the fact that people are starting to realize what Atticus did a year ago when he was twenty. He ran his fingers through his greasy hair. “You aren’t the boy anymore Atticus. You will not make stupid choices and you’ll protect everyone you can. It was just an accident, remember. You swear it wasn’t meant for her, that wasn’t Cassie’s fate. It was just an accident.” Atticus repeated that in his head constantly when someone would bring her up. He grabbed his supplies and headed towards the showers to have his thoughts and dirt washed

Atticus and the others are anxious what the move may induce, the children overhear parts of it, but Atticus doesn’t disclose any information to them. The following day, Atticus mysteriously leaves with a lightbulb and extension cord and drives his car. Suspicious of their father’s actions they, along with Dill, sneaks out and finds Atticus in front of the jailhouse reading a book with the help of the light, he brought, then four cars pulled up infront of him and a group of men approached him. They want to take Tom Robinson but Atticus doesn’t grant them, making tension rise up between them. Scout worried about his father, jumps into her father’s defense along with the other two children. Atticus demands Jem to take them home in which he refuses. Scout recognizes one of the men as Walter Cunningham, her classmate’s father, and tries starting a conversation with him but he doesn’t respond. She tries talking to him about his son and her views about the entailment where Walter finally acknowledges her. Scout somehow dispersed the tension and Walter motioned the group to retreat. In some way, Atticus thankful for the children for meddling, permits them to go home with no issue. Alone in jail, he reveals to Tom that they have left and to Mr. Underwood hiding above him with his shotgun ready to

First thing is how Atticus gives some wise words to his daughter after her teacher whips her and humiliates her in front of other students. Then, for Christmas Atticus gives the children air rifles, which was a really nice gift. Atticus warns them about what birds they could shoot and, which ones they could not. However, Atticus Specifically warned them that it would be a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Atticus returns from the state capital to explain to the kids why Aunt Alexandra has come to live with them.Aunt Alexandra tries to get Atticus to talk to the kids about their family pride, but all he can do is make Scout cry so he gives up on it, and makes Aunt Alexandra drop it too. .Scout asks Atticus what rape is, and he tells her. Atticus makes Scout obey her Aunt Alexandra, even though her views on what Scout should and shouldn’t do are different from his. Atticus defends Calpurnia when Aunt Alexandra wants to get rid of her. When the kids find Dill under Scout’s bed, Atticus talks to his family and arranges for him to stay. One night a group of men come to talk to Atticus about their fears concerning the Tom Robinson case. The next night, Atticus camps out in front of the jail where Tom is being held. When the kids turn up, Atticus is afraid for their safety, but ultimately he is relieved that they kept the situation from turning ugly. Atticus goes to court to

Atticus is an outstanding father to his kids, a perfect example of a well respected man, and most of all a great leader during his time. These characteristics are expressed in the text, when Atticus reminds his kids “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view — until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (Lee 30) People now a days assume and judge others without really knowing the insight. Atticus amazing leadership skills leads his kids to understand the real story of Boo Radley. Which open his kids to real idea of life and its meaning, later demystifying stereotypes and judgements. He later goes on to say “You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anyone says to you, don’t let ‘em get your goat.”(Lee) These simple teachings open Scout, Atticus daughter, to a different perspective of life. From now on she will learn to live with her head held high and to keep calm in all situations. Although Atticus amazing parental skills add to his leadership skills, he also represents a courageous

After devising many plans and spending countless hours thinking of ideas, Jem and Dill come up with a conception, haplessly their plan fails.

The kids tell Atticus, “...he’s crazy, I reckon, like they say, but Atticus, I swear to God he ain’t ever harmed us, he ain’t even hurt us…”

Two formidable entities waged war in Maycomb that night. Streaks of red and blue collided, battling over supremacy of Miss Maudie’s house; the flames seemed to be winning. Jem and I were much too enthralled with this skirmish to heed any attention to the role Atticus had assigned us. We huddled together futilely for warmth and cursed the cold that we had rejoiced less than a day ago. But the struggle was quickly pushed to the back of our minds as the more peculiar of the two events to take place that night began to unravel.

Scout goes to school for the first time and detests it; she didn’t even want to come out of her room. Because she had to wear a dress every day and Jem would laughed at her. She would get into fights with the boys a lot at school. Jem finds gifts apparently left for them in a knothole of a tree near the Radley property. He would keep this to himself for many months; he kept them in a small box in his room. But in the back of his mind he knew Boo left them for him but didn’t know why.
