Summarizer - Howard Summarizer:

Aunt Alexandra consults with Atticus and tells him that Calpurnia should leave the house, Jem and Scout listens to their conversation, Jem later tells scout to not antagonize Aunt Alexandra, and try not to bother Atticus because he's having a load of burden on him, and he can't afford to worry about the children too much. In the later half of the chapter, Jem and Scout finds Dill hiding under Scout's bed, and Dill tells the two that he ran away from home and came back to their house.

Vocabulary Enricher - Alex Owen Starched- I picked this word because it sounded interesting, it means to take out the color or deflate. Pg. 136 Adjoining- I picked this word for its peculiar spelling, it means to be next, or joined with. Pg 139 Necessity- I picked this word for its pronunciation, it is different than the spelling. it means the fact of being required or indispensable.

Connector - Gnyanesh When aunt Alexandria was angry at scout, scout went to the bathroom and stayed there for a very long time to avoid the wrath of her aunt. I can relate to this because once I had got a bad grade on my math test (which NEVER happens!), and my parents wanted to have a big one on one talk about it. So I just went to the bathroom and stayed there for 45 minutes until my dad had to go for a conference call, thus avoiding a lecture.

Investigator - Jason In the 1930s, there was a lot of racial prejudice against African-Americans. However, things were changing. Many people in the United States began to push for civil rights for African-Americans. There were many important people who were supporting this as well, which turned out to help a lot. For example, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt thought that African-Americans should be treated equally. In __To Kill A Mockingbird__, Atticus can be considered one of those people who supported African-Americans.
