To kill a mocking bird Chapter write ups
Chapter 9
At school, Scout almost starts a fight with a classmate named Cecil Jacobs after Cecil says that “Scout Finch’s daddy defends niggers.” Atticus is defending Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. He knows he cannot expect to win, but he tells Scout that he must argue it to hold on to his sense of justice and self-respect.
At Christmas time, Atticus’s brother, Jack, comes to stay with Atticus during the holidays. Scout gets along well with Uncle Jack, but, when he arrives in Maycomb, she starts cursing in front of him. After dinner Jack has Scout sit on his lap and he warns her not to curse in his presence. On Christmas Day Atticus takes his children and Jack to Finch’s Landing where Atticus’s sister Alexandra, and her husband live. There, Scout meets Francis, Alexandra’s grandson. Scout thinks Francis is the most boring child she has ever met. She also has to put up with the fancy and clean Alexandra, who says that Scout should dress like a lady instead of wearing pants.
On one night, Francis tells Scout that Dill is a runt and then calls Atticus a “nigger-lover.” Scout curses him and beats him up. Francis tells Alexandra and Uncle Jack that Scout hit him, and Uncle Jack spanks her without hearing her side of the story. After they return to Maycomb, Scout tells Jack what Francis said and Jack becomes furious. Scout makes him promise not to tell Atticus, however, because Atticus had asked her not to fight anyone over what is said about him. Jack promises and keeps his word. Later, Scout overhears Atticus telling Jack that Tom Robinson is innocent but doomed, since it’s inconceivable that an all-white jury would ever him.
