230 Words1 Pages
Scout and Atticus defuse the lynch mob, who are planning to murder Tom Robinson by allowing them to become aware that children are there (1), alerting them of the entailments (2) and intimidating them with a weapon (3). When Scout sees Atticus talking with the other strangers, she runs up to him and says, ‘H-ey, Atticus’ (Lee 167). By showing herself into the crowd, Scout shows that there are children nearby which may cause the adults to reconsider performing any violent acts and misconducts. After the crowd threatens Scout to leave, she notices Mr. Cunningham and says, ‘Hey, Mr. Cunningham. How’s your entailment gettin’ along?’ (Lee 169). As Atticus is one of the few lawyers in town, he handles most of the legal affairs of the Maycomb County.
