Chapters 3 & 4



In the beginning of chapter 3 in "How to Kill a Mockingbird", it starts out with Scott beating up Walter Cunningham. As you may know The Chunninghams' are poor and they work in the fields picking crops. At the end of chapter 2 and beginning of chapter 3 they mention that Walter doesn't have money for lunch. So, after school Jem invites Walter to dinner, Walter hesitated on going but he ended up going. During dinner, Atticus notices that Walter doesn't eat the way way they do. He tries to correct him and Calpurnia gets mad. She tells him that he is a guest and he should let him anything and in anyway he wants, no matter what his name is. I think that is a really nice thing to do and a nice way to look at things that way. Then, they go back to school where Miss Caroline is their teacher and was in for a surprise in finding a Cootie. I still dislike Miss Caroline because she is really rude and doesn't understand I guess that most of them are poor. In chapter 4, Scott finds out that their system are pretty much cheating them of and he dislikes that. Though there is nothing that they can do about it. Later in the chapter, they find a chewing gum or a least they made him believe that he had found it there. Towards the end of the chapter they started to play a game and it involved the Rally house. At the end Scott ends up rolling in the house, the backyard. The Rally is a scary house for everyone so if they ever step in they think that they may never get out. So I guess we will find out in the next chapter what happens.
