The second chapter starts out with Dill leaving. Scout is about to start school and is very excited. Scout's teacher is Miss Caroline. Scout is ahead of the rest of the class. Miss Caroline says to stop learning from Atticus, Scout's dad. Later, Miss Caroline asks everyone to get his or her lunch out, but Walter Cunningham doesn't have one. Miss Caroline gives him a quarter, but he doesn't take it. Scout says that Walter is a Cunningham; therefore, he won't borrow anything. Miss Caroline gets mad and hits Scout on the hand with a ruler.
The third chapter starts with Scout beating up Walter. Jem stops her, and asks Walter to come over for dinner. They go home and start eating. Walter and Atticus talk about farming. Calpurnia, Scout's family cook, brings syrup. Walter pours it all over his food. Scout says WTF, what are you doing? Calpurnia takes Scout to the kitchen and slaps her for being rude. After eating, they went back to school. At school, Miss Caroline sends Burris Ewell home for having cooties in his hair. He leaves, but on his way out he curses at her. She cries.
The next scene is at home. Calpurnia aka Cal says she missed Scout. Scout tells Atticus that he can't teach anymore. He says he will continues as long as Scout keeps going to school.
These chapters were good. I feel bad for Scout who got hit twice by two different people in one day. She really got started on the wrong foot. I am still confused why Miss Caroline doesn't like Scout reading at home. I think that's dumb.
