Perspective: Tom Robinson

I've heard that Atticus' sister Alexandra has gone to live with them. Nobody really talks to me to inform me about the Maycomb gossip, I've just acquired my information from what the people around me talk about. Apperently Scout has been antagonizing her aunt because Alexandra is trying to take over the family and Scout has obviously noticed it. Alexandra is very preocupied by family trends and history, but that isn't how Atticus had raised them. The children don't know too much about their family, and that bothers Alexandra.

It's Sunday night and tomorrow we are going to trial. I was extracted from the previous jail, to the Maycomb county Jail. Atticus had come to visit me. I wasn't too sure why, but it cam clear later that night. Atticus brought a light and sat in front of the Jail reading his paper. Later that night, a group of men pulled up in front of the jail. They sat there for a while, then suddenly emerged from the car by two's and one's. They formed a mob in front off the jail and that was when i realized that Atticus was there to protect me. He knew they were coming. Suddenly, a little girl emerged from the darkness and into the crowd straight to Atticus. It was Scout. Two other boys came following her, I reckon it was Jem, and Dill. Scout must have thought that this would make the men go away and that Atticus would be pleased to see them. But he wasn't, and they didn't go away. I could see Scout analyze the crowd. She spotted a man, she Called him Mr. Cunningham. She was in the same class as his son, Walter Cunningham. She said how she beat him up, but he was nice about it. Then Jem and her invited him over for dinner. She talked a bit about his son. She told him to say hey to him for her. He was unresponsive. We were all stunned. She then went on about entailments and how they were bad. Mr Cunningham interupted her by saying that he would tell Walter that she said hey. He told all of the men tp get back in the cars and that they were done there and to leave. I wish I could have thanked that young lady for saving me. I wasn't sure what would have happened or if the men would have gotten to me. But if they did, it would have been bad. The men left heading back the way they came. I spotted Mr. Underwood accross the street looking out with a double barrel Shotgun. Him and Atticus talked a second, then Atticus was off into the darkness with his children.
