Chapter 14

The trial was imminent and Jem and Scout were whispered around the whole town. Scout asks Atticus what "rape" meant and she tell him that she heard it in Calpurnia's church. This is when aunt Alexandra, tells her not to go there anymore and to get rid of Calpurnia. Atticus does not agree and tells her that Calpurnia has help him raise Jem and Scout, therefore, she is a very important person in their family. Scout gets livid for what aunt Alexandra says but Jem wants her to understand aunt Alexandra's perspective and it was atrocious to make her look like the villain of her life. Scout gets livid again when Jem does not take her side, and they start to fight. Atticus arrives and breaks up the fight. They were order to go to bed.  Scout goes running to Jem's bedroom because she feels like there is something underneath her bed. Underneath her bed was Dill. Jem tells Atticus that Dill is in their house and they give him food to eat. Dill had escaped from his house because his mother and his new father did not give him any attention. Dill goes to Jem's bed first and then starts talking to Scout on her bed.

Dill's parents is an example of parents who do not take care of their children but they have a third person ( Mrs. Rachel) the aunt who takes her of them. I believe that Dill is a kid who suffers been alone and likes been with Jem, and Scout because he feels warmth of a family.
