Chapters 13 & 14

In "To Kill a Mockingbird" chapter 13, as we know Alexandria is there and we find out Atticus didn't tell them that she was staying. He thought it would be a good idea for her to live with them. He wants her to be around while he deals with his problems. Atticus wants a female instinct since Jem is going through a phase. Alexandria gets along with everyone and knows mostly everyone. The kids don't really see her since they are mostly outside since its summer. Alexandra decides to show them about the family Jem makes a rude comment and they get in trouble by Atticus. Atticus yells at them and wants them to behave as they were raised as good kids. Alexandra could help Scout to be more girly. Atticus really wants the kids to know that the most important thing is what is inside rather then the outside. 
In chapter 14, Scout starts off asking Atticus what rape is and Atticus gives her a very dictionary definition, so Scout still doesn't really understand. She asked him because as we know Carponia didn't want to tell Scout. The whole story about them going to a all afarian american chruch comes up and Atticus is surprised. Then Scout remembered that Carponia told her that she could stay with her anytime. Alexandra obviously says no but Scout talks back and tells her that she didn't ask her. Afterwards Scout and Jem get into a fight and it had to be break-in up by Atticus and they are both sent to their room. While Scout goes in she steps on something weird under her bed and they get a broom to try to see what it could be. As they do so it turns out to be Dill. They let him stay over one night and Dill really wanted to talk to Scout. Atticus in this chapter seems really caring and understanding with everyone as he cares about Dill. Scout doesn't really understand how to get into others people perspective, on how Atticus is feeling, the neglect Dill has from his family, or why Atticus defends Jem. Looking forward to chapter 15, things are going to take a spin.

Chapters 11 & 12

In "How to Kill a Mockingbird" chapter 11, they start off going deeper into the neighborhood where we met Ms. Henry. Ms. Henry lives between the Fiches' house and downtown, she is old and in a wheelchair. She has a women who attends her and her name is Ms. Jesse, Ms. Jesse is black. The kids think that she has a pistol and they get yelled at every time they pass by, she even called Scout an ugly girl. Atticus just tells them to ignore her because she is old and sick,, Atticus knows how to deal with her whenever he passes by. They get into a problem when Jem turns 12 and he want to go downtown and Ms.Henry just wants to get him in trouble. Ms.Henry starts to talk about Atticus and how he is defending a black man. So they go downtown and they come back Ms. Henry isn't home so he loses it and destroys all of her flowers. By doing that he broke Scout's baton and she starts to yell and Jem starts to yell back and pull her hair. When Atticus finds out he gets in trouble. All of this brings everything back to Atticus defending the black man, and they just don't understand. Atticus knows he is doing the right thing and shows how he is as a person or man. He is trying not to make it a big deal and that people who say that word are trashy. The kids end up going to Ms. Henry house just to have Jem read to her. Later on we find out that she passed away and she was a morpheme addict and she didn't want to die an addict and she didn't. The kids then admire her and they think that she was a strong person.
In chapter 12, they start off with Jem getting more frustrated with Scout. Summer comes up again and really wants Dill to come over which he can't and she gets depressed. Atticus goes away for awhile and is really concentrated on work. He worries about them going to church alone so Carponia takes them with her in a all African american church. They don't feel welcomed but they stay and the people)(Revlon) in the church welcome them. Scout talks to him and learns more about his family. Racism is really open in their town. Alexandria at their front church and I think she will be around for a while until Atticus gets back.
