Chapters 13-15
Perspective Atticus

I decided that since the kids are growing up that Cal might need some help since I will be out of town lately. She also thinks that Scout needs a feminine influence, that she is being brought up wrong. When I show up in the driveway from Montgomery the kids came up seized my briefcase and hugged me. Scout asked me if I brought her a book and if I knew that Alexandra was there. I told her yes to both questions. I asked them if they would like Alexandra to stay with us for a while. Scout said yes but i had a feeling she was lying. I told them that i wouldn't be around to watch them for a while with the Tom Robinson case coming up. That it would be best for all of us. One day I heard Alexandra say that Ms. Crawford should mind her own business. I said that our generation was the first not to marry there cousin's. Would you say the Fiches have and Incestuous streak. Later that night I walked in Jem's room and sat down on Jem's bed. I told them that they are Finches and that they are not just run of the mill people, that we come from a long run of gentle breeding. I told them that they should start to act like the lady and gentleman they are. Scout started running across the edge of a comb. I told her to stop the noise and she started crying. Then she started hugging me and told me that my stomach was rumbling. I said I know and she said that i better take some soda, and I said I will. She then asked if all this was going to make things different. I told her not to worry, she asked if she had to remember all that stuff and I just told them to forget it. He leaves and then comes back and says he'll probably end up costing the family five hundred dollars. Scout one night asked me what rape was and I said that it was a carnal knowledge of a female by force without the woman's consent. She said something but I could not hear her and asked her to repeat herself. She told me how Jem and her went with Cal to her church and the Alexandra just stared at us. Then Scout asked if she could go to her house next Sunday. Alexandra immediately said no you can not. Scout said I didn't ask you, thats when I got up and told her to apologize, and told her that she had to listen to me, Cal, and Alexandra. I told Alexandra that I didn't see a problem her going to Cal's house. Later that night I caught Scout and Jem fighting, I split them up and sent them to there rooms. A few minutes after I broke them up Jem called me up to the hall and to my surprise Dill was standing in the middle of the room. I told them that i had to call his aunt Miss Rachel. I told to take a bath after he ate. Then they all went off to bed. One day a couple of the men from town and started talking to me about Tom Robinson, it looked they were fixing to hurt me, but then we came outside and left. That night I left to the county jail to make sure no one would try to hurt Tom. When I was there a couple of cars pulled over and raggedy men came out of them. One of them was Mr. Cunningham. Then when they started to move forward I saw Scout come over and I was furious. Then Jem and Dill followed, they were all out of the house at this hour. When I told them to go home one of the men said I'll take him home and grabbed him by the collar. Then Scout yelled don't touch him and kicked him in the worst place possible.I told him that that was enough and that they all needed to go home. Then Scout told Mr. Cunningham that she went to school with his son. The she said to say hi for them. He squatted down and said I'll be sure to tell him. Then said lets clear out boys. Then we left and I massaged Jem's head to signal that it was okay.
