Chapter 16

Key Events/Ideas 
  • Aunt Alexandra tells Atticus not to talk in front of Cal – he shuts her down – patience waring thin - "a quiet digging in, never outright irritation" 
  • Court day – Atticus asks the children not to go – everyone is going – like a "Roman carnival" 
  • Jem tells Scout about mixed race children and Dill about all the people attending the trial 
  • Scout discovers that Atticus had to defend Tom whether he liked it or not but that he wanted to defend him which gave him a lot of negative backlash from Maycomb 

Key Quotations 
  • "Mr Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man" 
  • "a Roman carnival" 
  • "Atticus aimed to defend him. That's what they didn't like about it"
