We have learned through our reading that racism between blacks and whites was very common in Maycomb during this time period. The book is beginning to focus on the trial where Atticus will be defending a black man accused of a crime against a white woman.
1. Why do you think the town people are making rude comments about Atticus defending a black man to his kids?
2. What would you do if you were in Jem and Scout's position when it came to being harrassed by the people in your town?
