7-9
When Jem gets his pants back, they are sewn. They were ripped when he tore away from the tree. It is not neat sewing, though. It looks very crooked, similar to a man trying to mend them.
Mr. Radley fills the hole in the tree with cement because he does not want Boo to associate with Jem and Scout. He may not want them to get hurt, or maybe he wants to protect Boo from the outside world. This shows that Mr. Radley is kind, but he may not know that he is hurting Scout's feelings. He was probably doing what he thought was best for everyone.
The "near libel" in the front yard is the snowman that looks like Mr. Avery. Atticus thinks it is funny, but he warns the children to fix it so Mr. Avery will not be offended. Miss Maudie gets a kick out of the "morphodite".
Miss Maudie's house catches on fire and the whole town is trying to help. Atticus takes her rocking chair out from within the flaming house. This is one of her most prized possesions and Atticus wants to save atleast one important thing to her.
During the fire, Scout and Jem are outside watching. Althought they are in Alabama, it is very cold out. When the children return home, Atticus asks Scout where the blanket around her shoulders came from. No one knows who gave it to her, but Jem realizes Boo put it on her.
When the Finches realizes Boo put the blanket on Scout's shoulders, Jem keeps talking about how Boo snuck up behind her. Atticus warns Jem, "Do not let this inspire you to further glory, Jeremy." Atticus is warning Jem that although Boo may have came out, he still should not mess with him.
Children at Scout's school make fun of her by saying her father defended "niggers". Scout asks Atticus what this means. He tells her that he is defending a black man, Tom Robinson, who accusedly raped a white girl. Scout askes him why he took on this case. He says this case is the case that every lawyer gets that affects him personally. Atticus would not feel right representing Maycomb in the State Legislature or telling his children what to do if he did not take this case. He wants to do everything he can to help Tom. This is unusual because most of the people in Maycomb are racist and they hate Tom.
When Uncle Jack comes down to Maycomb, he tells Scout she is growing out of her pants. He is saying that Scout is trying to act more like an adult, although she is just a kid. He does not like her cursing and he wants her to act appropriately.
Uncle Jack, Atticus, Jem, and Scout go to Finch''s Landing for Christmas with Aunt Alexandra, Uncle Jimmy, and Francis, Alexandra's grandson. Although Scout loathes Francis, she talks to him to entertain herself, even though he is the "most boring child [she] ever met". During their conversation, Scout realies something about Aunt Alexandra. Francis would tell Alexandra everything he learned about Scout, and then she would go to Atticus. He would either beat her or ignore the comments, whichever suits his fancy. Francis keeps tormenting Scout by calling Atticus a "nigger lover", so she threatens to beat him up. She gets in trouble and Atticus, Uncle Jack, Jem, and herself go back to Maycomb.
Scout hears Jack and Atticus talking about the Tom Robinson case whenever they return home. Scout learns that the case is going to be very hard for Atticus to win because they only have a black man's word. Scout also hears that Atticus wants his children to come to him for advice and information about the case, not the town.
