Chapter 3 Significant Event. By Bradley

A significant event in chapter 3 is when Scout does not want to go to school
anymore. She already got in trouble for writing to one of her friends. Miss Caroline
said that Scout wasnt supposed to learn how to write, thats third grade. She also
said she shouldnt know how to read fluently yet.They learn how to read in first
grade. She told Atticus said that she didnt want to go to school anymore. But she
went back anyway. This is significant for a dad to hear their child say that they
dont want to go to school. It really could make you worry.
