Injustice Done to Scout

There was injustice done to Scout when her cousin, Francis, Had been calling her father a nigger lover. She got really upset when he kept on saying it until she couldn’t handle it anymore. She gave her cousin a hit that he would never forget. Everybody in the house came out and looked at the inured boy. Immediately Francis started blaming everything on Scout. She was cornered and was spanked by her uncle. After this Atticus took Scout and Jem home. Later Her uncle arrived and tried to talk to her. She told him that he didn’t know the other half of the story. Her uncle looked at her in a weird face. “Francis was calling my daddy a nigger lover and even though I didn’t know what he meant the tone in his voice told me he was picking on my father,” said Scout. The uncle looked at her and said is that why you punched him she nodded her head. Later that night when Scout went to get a glass of water she heard her father talking to her uncle and was talking about how Scout needed to keep her head up in these times and try to not let her pride get her. When Atticus all of a sudden said, “Scout get to bed” she knew something was up. Later she realized that he in intended for her to hear the conversation.

The Ewells and The Cunninghams

The only thing I see in common between these two families is that they're both poor. The Ewells live next to the dump which is right next to where the African Americans live. The Cunninghams live in the countryside. Mr. Ewell does not provide for his family but Mr. Cunningham does. Mr. Ewell's children have no respect for anybody. The Cunninghams are kind. The Ewell family does not have a house. The Cunninghams have a house. Mr. Ewell and his family are disgusting just to look at. The Cunninghams are as clean as you'd expect farm kids to be. Mr. Ewell buys stuff for himself. Mr. Cunningham uses the little money he has and puts it into food or tools needed for the farm. The Ewells are not trusted. The Cunninghams are trustworthy.
