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.
