Chapter 13 to 16 has yet to fail to bring me into the changing plot and having me wanting to know more of what will happen.  A few of these especially twisting moments is when Atticus sister Alexandra had come to stay with them.  Overall I don’t think that she is entirely bad but can have more improvement on how she had treated Jem and Scout opposed to her grandchild who was in more of the wrong than them.  Also, of how she pushes her ideals of how they should be, she seems somewhat rude and prideful of how the Finch family should be like when Jem had told her about what their cousin Joshua had done and had Atticus give them a talking to. Then just after that another interesting plot arises itself. I thought this was one of the most interesting and funny when they found dill. It had been fascinating of how they had thought him to be a snake and even jabbed him with a broom.  Then Once Jem had found Dill he had been quit responsible that he told Atticus that he’d run away. It had seemed rather of a betrayal to both Dill and Scout but in the end Atticus had been nice enough to have him be able to stay for a while. 

            Then it becomes even more heart wrenching to know what will happen to the trial whether Tom Robinson will be accused of those crimes and whether Atticus will be able to win this trial.  Although to my opinion even if he had been accused of raping one of the Ewell’s daughters he and every one should have a fair trial which most people there will believe the word of the Ewell’s, who in most of the public opinion is not a very good family, and then should accuse him properly with fair suitable punishment if found guilty. Also, I think that it is interesting that Jem and Scout where able to go to the trial which little kids nowadays there age would not be able to go to trial like this unless they are involved with the incident.

These chapters where the most important ones to me since it was all about Tom Robinsons case.

Despite Aunt Alexandra coming to live with Scout, Jem, and Atticus, shes there so that Scout could have a lady around to teach her girl stuff. Im not a fan of Aunt Alexandra cause, to me, shes trouble. She reminds me of my stepmom and thats not good. Shes also is a pain in the butt since she wants the childern outside but she doesnt want them makin noises, that makes nosense!! She wants them outside but not to have any fun that invovles runing around and screaming. Then she keeps goin at it with Atticus about the way hes raisin his kids and about Cal bein around the children.

The most surprising events I thought was Dill appearing under Scouts bed, he ran awayfrom home and told Jem and Scout that his parents dont want him around.  Its was nice of his parents to let him stay there for the summer cause Scouts all alone now since Jem wants to be by himself alot now. The 2and was when Scout was able to tell off alot of grown men to leave Atticus and Tom Robinson alone. Lastly, was the day of the trial. I wouldnt have expected THAT much people to show up to a case about a black man rapin a white girl, I dont think that Tom Robinson really did that, since the family accusing Tom is dirty.

I cant wait to find out what happens durin the trail!!
