themes..yayy!

1. A theme that was shown between chapter 15 was bravery and friendship. Bravery comes up a lot throughout this chapter like Scout running through the crowd of people to see Atticus. She also talks to Mr.Cunningham in the crowd and everyone is staring. This shows Scout as being brave and showing friendship, because she stands runs to Atticus, her dad which is courageous. Also Jem is brave in this chapter. He stands up to Atticus when he tells Jem to leave. He persistently says no, and stands up to Atticus. This is brave because normally he listens to Atticus, but not tonight. Atticus was brave when he defends Tom Robinson at the jail. He is still doing the right thing for a black man which is the most brave thing throughout this chapter. Friendship is also in this chapter with Mr.Underwood. He waited and looked out the window with a shot gun just to make sure nothing happened to Atticus. That is a true friendship who would wait up just to be there for you in your time of need. Friendship and Bravery has been previously used throughout the book in many different cases. Between Calpunia, Dill, Scout, Jem, and Atticus.



This chapter shows Atticus as someone who really is caring, and does the right thing. He would do anything for anyone who needed help. It shows what we mostly already know he is an all around good guy. This chapter showed that Mr.Cunningham at first wasn't on the right side. He was going to do something bad to Atticus. In the end he did what was right because he knows Atticus does many things for people in the town including the Cunninghams. He didn't do anything he would regret later or hurt any of the Finches. The chapter shows that Mr.Cunningham really has a hear and will do what's right in the end. I think Mr.Cunningham is a good guy after all.
