Literary Luminary Pages 120- 124 Chapter 12. Calpurnia takes the children to her negro church with Atticus is out of town. I was rather surprised that the black people accepted the children where as if they had taken Calpurnia to their church they would have been ostracize because most white people were racist.

Page 136 Chapter 14 Scout asked Atticus if she could go to Calpurnia’s house and explained to her father that they had visited the First Purchase church. Immediately her Aunt said no, Scout got angry and Atticus yelled at her which was a rare thing. This selection is being brought up because it is confusing. **Is Atticus madder because Calpurnia had taken the children to her church or that she is being unlady-like towards her Aunt?**

Pages 140-141 Chapter 14

After hiding out in Scout’s bedroom, Dill appears explaining his absence in a very unrealistic way. Claiming he was bound by chains in his new father’s basement being left to die. How he was given food by a farmer and escaped and hid in a small animal show that traveled through Mississippi and eventually traveled from a town ten miles away from Maycomb to their house. I find this very suspicious and I don’t really believe anything that Dill says.

Pages 151-153 Chapter 15 Atticus went to the jail late at night. The children followed to find out what was going on because this was very unlike their father. They go to the jail to see a mob leader by Mr. Cunningham. They were trying to get Tom Robinson out of jail and beat him to death. This selection is being brought to point out how common lynching mobs were in the south.
