good luck with that one attakus they return home from church to an unpleasant surprise Aunt Alexandra has come to stay G what a drag obviously Aunt Alexandra has convinced attacus that her presence was necessary but if she thinks she's going to get Scout to wear a dress sit in Gossip circles and act all ladylike she's got another thing coming Aunt Alexandra knows everything about everyone or so she thinks she fits into make Society like a glove but Gem and Scout find her too high and mighty she even convinces attacus to speak to the children about finch family values and why jam and Scout should behave better it was so out of character for attakus to say these things that Scout actually starts to cry thankfully attakus took it all back attacus won Aunt Alexandra nil it's just as well that attacus kept Aunt Alexandra under control because Gem and Scout already had enough to deal with the trial of Tom Robinson was about to start and things were tense around town adus is role as Tom's defense attorney meant that his children were targeted by mean comments and sideways looks then one night Scout senses something dangerous hiding under her bed has someone planted a Killer Snake there no it's Dill Harris he traveled by himself all the way from Meridian Mississippi attacus calmly fetches his aunt Rachel from next door she blasts still with some very Stern words but eventually allows him to stay looks like this summer is going to be a blast after all or will it a few days before the Tom Robinson trial a group of men come to speak to attacus Tom Robinson will be transferred to make him jail the next night the men are worried that this will bring serious trouble into town maybe even violence sure enough Trouble Comes The Following night with Tom Robinson now in makm jail a group of angry men come for him goodness knows what they were planning to do to him but attakus was a step ahead he was already guarding Tom cell by the time they arrived the problem was attakus was the only thing standing in the way of the drunken deadly mob as tensions start to rise Scout jumps right into the middle of the group Scout what are you thinking then Gem and Dill show up what a nightmare for attacus he and the children are now in serious danger when a man grabs gem by the collar Scout kicks him in the crown jewels and he falls back in agony then Scout recognizes Walter Cunningham senior one of atticus's clients remember Little Walter Cunningham Jr who loves molasses well his dad is part of the mob Scout speaks politely to Mr Cunningham and like magic all the tension dissolves by the way Scout still has no idea how much danger they're all in but she persevered until Mr Cunningham comes to his senses and calls off the mob Scouts naive friendliness probably saved lives that night but had she failed Mr Underwood a friend of attacus had them covered he'd been sitting at his upstairs window with a shotgun aimed at the angry mob the whole time it's good to keep friends in high places it takes Scout a little while while to grasp what really happened outside the jail but attacus makes sure neither She nor Jim bear any grudges about it there's already enough drama going on it's the first day of Tom Robinson's trial it seems like the entire county has shown up for the trial it's a bit morbid don't you think watching a man on trial for his life When the Children head up to the town square it's like a festival inside the courthouse it's standing room only luckily Reverend Sykes takes the children to the balcony where they are given front row seats from here they can see everything including atus who sits with his back to them ready to defend his client by the time the children sit down the first witness is called Mr HEC Tate the county sheriff will his testimony condemn Tom Robinson we hope you enjoyed this schooling online production for more easy lessons check out our other [Music] videos
