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.
