Scout's Changing Opinion of Walter Cunningham:
Scout begins to think that her strained relationship with the teacher is Walter Cunningham's fault. She wastes no time in getting payback and starts tormenting the boy, rubbing his nose in the dirt at the school playground. She only quits tormenting the boy when her brother comes to the boy's rescue. Jem invites Walter to eat lunch at their home, which surprises her so much she nearly falls over. In some regions of the country, some people treat lunch as dinner.
Walter Cunningham Eats with Jem, Scout, and Atticus:
During lunch, Atticus and Walter have a pleasant discussion about the farm's condition. Scout watches with horror when Walter puts many molasses on his vegetables and meat. This makes her openly criticize the boy. Calpurnia, overhearing the remark, calls Scout to the kitchen, gives her a slap and then a scolding advising her to act as a better host.
Mrs. Caroline and Poetic Justice:
Back in school, Miss Caroline finds a cootie or a small bug in Burris Ewell's hair. Burris Ewell's family is poorer than Walter's family. The community regards the Ewell's family as less respectable. Burris's normal school attendance is only at the first day of school. The plan is perfect for later avoiding any trouble with the law regarding school attendance. The hulking and angry boy says teacher nasty remarks, causing Caroline to cry as he finds his way out of the classroom.
Scout loves Reading and is Forbidden by Mrs. Caroline:
Scout's disinterest in school grows and she became exhausted with the events she witnessed for the first two days. Atticus notices her lessening enthusiasm and he asks her what is bothering her. She tells her she does not feel well but immediately asks her father to agree with her decision of not going back to school. Caroline forbids her to read as well as write and the restriction depresses her. She asks her father to her teach personally at home.
Mrs. Caroline and Poetic Justice:
Atticus explains that the law requires children of her age to attend school, which will get them in trouble if they do not follow. Atticus makes a good deal sending her back to school when he promises to continue reading to her with the agreement that she is not going to tell her teacher about it. The reading sessions are Atticus and Scout's closely guarded secret. Scout is happy with the idea and agrees to attend school again.
