Justice in chapter 9

Atticus was a lawyer and wanted to do the right thing even though the townspeople didn't like him being fair with a black man. It was Atticus's job to be fair with all people. Most of the white people of Maycomb county thought that blacks were less than them which shows how unjust white people were. Scout took all the insults very personally and couldn't stand the insults to Atticus.

Calpurnia

Calpurnia is a black slave. She does the cooking and cleaning for the Finches. Atticus gives her respect and some authority over Jem and Scout even though she is black. The Finches treat Calpurnia like she is part of the family. She can be kind of grouchy sometimes and can be very stern with Scout when she is rude. She likes pleasing Jem and Scout but knows when to punish them.
