In Harper Lee's Classic To Kill A Mockingbird, In chapter three Jean Louise catches Walter Cunningham in the school yard and is rubbing his nose into the dirt for getting her in trouble. In this process Jem stops her, she explains to him what happened and the Jem invites Walter to home for diner with him and Scout (Jean). For awhile Walter didn't wanna come so Scout and Jem gave up and started walking, when they did Walter called, "Hey I'm comin'!" and he caught up with them. At home, Atticus follows Scout outside to ask her if something is wrong, to which she responds that she is not feeling well. She tells him that she does not think she will go to school anymore and suggests that he could teach her himself. Atticus replies that the law demands that she go to school, but he promises to keep reading to her, as long as she does not tell her teacher about it. Scout’s unpleasant first day of school has a purpose: it locates the reader’s sympathies firmly with the narrator; it offers a further introduction to Maycomb’s tortured social ladder; and it provides sharp social commentary on the theme of children and education, one of the book’s most important themes.

This scene is so important to the overall plot of the book. Like you said, it really gives the reader an understanding of the social scale in Maycomb. It brings to life the struggles of the Cunninghams and how they function within their family and society. It also shows the reader how Scout thinks about her education and how she views her father as the most important teacher in her life. |

I agree with Bekah, As the scene gives us the view of school from a different younger point of view as well as teaching us about Scouts relationship with some of her classmates. It also shows how Atticus is carefree and willing to forgive people and tries to uphold the law.

Also, in that very scene, Scout complains about Walter Cunningham putting syrup on his green beans. Calpurnia shows to Scout to not judge people for the way they eat, and in a way also says not to judge people at all.

the chapter itself has a lot of foreshadowing and importance to the overall outcome of the novel. Like Bekah said, the social class really stands out here showing the differences between two families that is a constant conflict throughout the book.
