Ch. 9-11

Why does Atticus keep defending the black man, when he knows he isnt going to win? Maybe he just thinks that everyone deserves a chance.
The title comes into play when Atticus says “Its a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Because they are innocent and all they do is make music. Why is this the title of the story and what does it have to do with anything??  Its weird how Attics is this big laywer and some people think highly of him, and now he held a secret from his kids about his gun skills, which he doesnt seem so proud of. Why? Why did Miss. Maudie ask the children if they thought their dad couldn’t do anything? When obviously they respect him.When Scout and Jem say they hate Mrs. Dubose, becase she interrogates them… Maybe she is hiding something. I like how Atticus stands up for himself and addresses that he does inface car for black people, even if others in the town find that wrong.. including his own kids.
