chapter 13-Aunt Alexandria decides that she should stay with the children for a while to give them some "feminine influence." Maycomb gives her a warm welcome and bake her cakes and cookies. Aunt Alexandria comes to Maycomb to talk to the Finches about family issues. This town is a very old, historic town where they take the issues of a family very seriously. There have been generations of Finches living there in Maycomb, and they want to continue with that legacy. Aunt Alexandria then tells Atticus to give Scout and Jem a brief history of their ancestry.
chapter 14-In this chapter Jem, Scout and Atticus continue to get heckled for Atticus defending Tom Robinson. They feel as though him defending a black man in this town is immoral, and he should drop Tom as his defendant. Later on Aunt Alexandria tries to convince Atticus that they don't need Calpurnia anymore and should let her go. Atticus refuses, and tells her that she's staying. Jem doesn't like this either and gets upset with Alexandria. Jem then tells Scout to antagonize Alexandria, and then Scout gets mad at Jem. This causes a huge argument between the Finches and everyone begins fighting amongst each other. Finally, Atticus comes into the room, and breaks up the fight.
