Reflect carefully on the mob scene in chapter 15. Use quotations and explain. Use the following questions to help you focus your writing.
How does Atticus handle the confrontation with the men at the jail? Does he have a good approach? What does this scene show about him? Would he have been successful if Scout hadn’t interrupted? How does Scout dissolve the situation at the jail? Does she realize what she’s doing at first? Why is she able to end the confrontation and cause Mr. Cunningham to call the men off? How does Scout affect him?
