To Kill a Mockingbird Chapter 9-15 Questions
Chapter 9:
1. a) Atticus says it's a word common people use. It just makes people feel bad and forbids his children from saying it.
He said he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in town. Also, he does it to show his children a good example. Lastly, he stuck to his conscience and stood up against the entire town.
c) It's about courage, in relevance to his taking of the case.
Scout was using vulgarities. Atticus was saying this to Uncle Jack; that she'd grow out of it soon.
He’s explaining to Jack that children will always ask questions to things they don’t understand and should always answer them.
Atticus was talking about Scout; that she may not do what's best all the time but she tries. Atticus doesn't understand the behaviour of the town - their immense prejudice against Tom Robinson although it's obvious he's innocent.

4. Jem won’t let Scout brag about Atticus because Jem believes that if their father wanted them to know about his marksmanship Atticus would have told them himself. I think Jem’s right because Atticus must’ve had a reason not to tell his kids.
