Chapters 23 & 24

In chapter 23, "To Kill a Mockingbird", it starts of with Atticuss reaction to being spit on by Bob, they tell him that he should watch out and do something about it. Atticuss claims that a person like Bob just wanted to have the last word and he had nothing to worry about. Then Atticuss says that Tom still had a chance at his appeal and if not he would go to the chair. Jem didn't think it was fair for that to happen, Aticuss tells Jem that when he gets older he will understand and that he shouldn't worry. 
In chapter 24, it starts off with Dill wanting to know how to swim before summer is over and Jem takes him out to teach him. Scout stays home and and gets dressed to attend a tea gathering with a group of white hypocritical people. They come from many churches and Scout starts to talk to some of the ladies. She listens to what they are saying and they are such Hippocrates. They claim to be christian but their racism and hippacracy are not what a christian really is. Scout says that the life of women is a lot more complicated then with being with men. Then Atticuss tells Carponia that Tom tried to escape and was shot 17 times. There we find out that Tom decided to take it into his own hands and they took it a little over board.
