chapter 28:
It doesn't surprise me that Aunt Alexandra brings Scout her favorite pair of overalls to wear. I think she does this for a few reasons. One I don't think that she was paying much attention to what she was bringing Scout, after all Scout was just attacked and Jem was hurt. I also think that maybe Aunt Alexandra did it on purpose. Since Scout was just attacked Alexandra was sympathetic and gave her her favorite overalls, maybe to also show that she was sorry for not being there.

Lauren,
Your thoughts on this question are great! I totally agree with you. Aunt Alexandra does seem really sympathetic and understanding in this chapter, (which is how she should be.) It didn’t seem that she could show this much understanding, but she finally does and at a time when Scout really needs it. Great Job!
