A theme that is shown throughout chapter 15 is courage and understanding. Scout, Jem and Dill show courage when they go to see where Atticus is. Scout shows courage when she runs to Atticus and breaks through the crowd of people that she does not know just to save Atticus. Jem shows courage when he stays at the jail when Atticus tells him to leave and take Scout and Dill with him. Atticus shows courage by being at the jail to defend Tom. Jem is understanding of Atticus, but he still will not do what he says. All of the men that were there that came out of the cars were understanding of Scout because they could tell that she was scared for Atticus so they left them alone. Everyone stands up for each other so courage shows up in the text all the time. The Finch family understands each other, so understanding has occurred before.
This chapter shows that Atticus is a brave man and he does what is right. He keeps his promises not matter how difficult it might be to do so. This chapter also shows how much Atticus cares for others by the way he is willing to get hurt or in danger for Tom, Scout, Jem and Dill. The Cunningham's know that the town has helped them and it is their own fault that they are where they are now. Mr. Cunningham knows that the Finch's help him out and if he hurt Mr. Finch or anyone involving him that they would not be the right thing to do. This shows that Mr. Cunningham is a good person and that he is capable of doing what is right.
