Chapter 15
The events in this chapter are anything but placid. Scout notices that her dad left the house for no apparent reason. She explains that no one "just went for a walk" in Maycomb. She knew something was up. She grabbed Jem and Dill and began to investigate. They found Atticus sitting in front of the jail reading the paper. Four cars drive up to the jail, and Scout approaches Atticus. Reluctantly, Jem and Dill follow. Scout is naive. She has no idea what's going on. She recognizes one of the men from the four cars to be Walter Cunningham's father. Scout casually asks him to say hi to his son. The men depart, leaving nothing but footprints. Scout managed to save the day!
Chapter 16
Trial time! One look at Maycomb, and you may think they were hosting the Stark Expo. It seems that the only person in all of Maycomb who didn't attempt to attend the trial was Miss Maudie. She comments that's it's comparable to watching a Roman Carnival. Scout and Jem sneak in after everyone else so Atticus doesn't notice them. They are forced to sit in the "colored" section. Tom Robinson must be feeling quite futile right now! The Judge's name is Taylor, and he's famous for being involved in connivances.
