Pg. 154: “As if that were not enough, the state legislature was called into emergency session and Atticus left us for two weeks.” * Infers that Cal had to take care of the kids like a mother.
Pg. 157: Talk about how Jem is color blind when his suit looks weird. * Is he color blind of just a few colors or is it everything?
Pg. 160: At church, the people are talking about the troubles of Tom Robinson. * Must be awkward since they are talking about how he was troubling when Atticus is defending him in a big court case.
