Before she thought that Atticus was different from the other fathers in Maycomb because he was too old and couldn’t do anything fun with them. After he killed the mad dog in one shot, Scout was proud of her father and got more influenced in him. Scout is forced to understand that Tom Robinson was being treated differently because he had colored skin.

The Brownie’s plan of attacking the other troop falls through. It’s on the way home from camp that the girls are discussing the things that happened on the duration of their stay. They are poking fun at the girls who were different from them, making wise cracks and poor imitations of Troop 909. After her fellow Brownies bore of the subject of Troop 909, Snot tells the story of a Mennonite family who once did work for her father. She remembers her father saying “it was the only time he’d have a white man on his knees doing something for a black man for free.” Though she doesn’t agree with what her father did, she begins to understand his reasoning behind it.

This got Scout upset, but it was the only time she walked away form a fight because influenced by Atticus, he told her not to fight anymore and she knew if she did he would wear her out. On Christmas day Scout, Jem, and Atticus visit the Finch's Landing.
