Blog post # 3
i saw another side of scout when scout thought that the lady's were cool by how they were looking, its like if she actually could have a lady side that would work on her if she turned like that but since she liked it, it makes me feel like shell be like that more in the future.
the ladys were cool in fragile pastel prints:most of them were heavily powdered but unrouged: the only lipstick in the room was Tangee Natural. Curtex Natural sparkled on their fingernails, but some of the youngest ladies wore rose. They smelled heavenly.
 another side of scout that i saw was her not being rough and mean aggressive instead she was being noble and right, because she took from what Atticus tells her, and basically how he is unviolent. instead of fighting Cecil Jacobs and just gets called a coward. drew a bead on him, remembered what Atticus had said, then dropped my fists and walked away, "Scout's a cow- ward!" ringing in my ears. It was the first time I ever walked away from a fight.
Somehow, if I fought Cecil I would let Atticus down. Atticus so rarely asked Jem and me to do something for him, I could take being called a coward for him. I felt extremely noble for having remembered, and remained noble for three weeks.



A part from TKAM that really provoked me and filled me with anger was when Atticus went to the post office and got spat on the face by bob Ewell over helping Tom Robinson in the trial.
 according to ms Stephanie Crawford, however, Atticus was leaving the post office when Mr. Ewell approached him, cursed him, spat on him, and threatened to kill him.what i thought was terribly wrong here exactly everything that Mr.Ewell did to Atticus from spitting on his face to threatening him. what thought that Atticus was right, because Atticus didn't bat an eye just took out his handkerchief and wiped his face and stood there and let Mr.Ewell call him names.what should have happened was Atticus to say something smart that Mr.Ewell couldn't understand and walk away, and also for Mr.Ewell to just leave Atticus alone because it only made Mr.Ewell look even worse of a person.
 I would like to relate this to Baltimore, MD — A police sergeant was suspended Tuesday after cellphone videos captured him spitting in the face of a handcuffed man. Although the man was restrained on the ground and not fighting back, police charged him with assault, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. in both of these situations the someone spat on someones face, the victim getting spat didn't do anything but on the Baltimore situation it was because he couldn't, and on TKAM Atticus didn't want to because he knew what was best.
