Key Events/Ideas
- Scout says that she's going to boast to everyone that Atticus is "one-shot-Finch"
- Jem tells her not to – appreciates that Atticus keeps it quiet and doesn't use it
Quotations
- "I think he gave up his gun when he realised it gave him an unfair advantage over every other living thing"
- "Atticus is real old but I couldn't care if he couldn't do a blessed thing. [...] He's a gentleman just like me"
- "one shot Finch"
Context
- Atticus is not the "macho" man that he is expected to be - doesn’t play any sports
- This is not in keeping with ideas of the southern Gentleman
- In this chapter, however, he shows marksmanship
