Pleasure Reading: "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Summary 3 
1. Some more time passed, and Jem, who was now twelve and was going through his difficult adolescent period, nearly stopped being a good companion for his younger sister, for he was now very touchy and irritable. 2. As a result, he spent most of his time reading magazines and didn’t want to see anybody, so Scout had nothing to do and sat in kitchen with Calpurnia, their cook and household. 3. Once, when Atticus wasn’t at home, the old woman took the children to the church for black people with her to hear the mess. 4. At first some parishioners showed hostility to the brother and sister, but later became rather friendly. 5. Here in the church the children heard once more about Tom Robinson, whom the majority thought to be not guilty for what had happened with the white girl. 6. Having return at home, Jem and Scout were taken by surprise bu their Aunt Aleksandra’s unexpected visit. 7. It turned out that she had arrived here for a while to see about the children’s uprising, and soon the small Finches became bored with the woman’s constant cutting remarks concerning their behavior.
