1) The theme that is most prevalent throughout chapter 15 is Honor/Courage and Shame/ Cowardice. This theme illustrated within the chapter because Jem showed honor when he was refusing to Atticus about going home. He had courage to stand there and blatantly say no. Jem did not want to leave Atticus behind with this group of men, he had no clue what was going to happen. Also, Scout had courage to run up in the middle of all the men and yell to Atticus. Dill displays shame/ cowardice when he does not say a word this whole time, he just is there. He was a coward for not doing what Scout did when when the man grabbed Jem by the collar, again, he just stood there and let it happen. I have seen this theme illustrated in earlier text when Jem chopped off Mrs. Dubose's camellia bushes because of what she called Atticus. He was standing up for his father and being courageous to do something like that.
2) This chapter shows that Atticus really cares about Tom Robinson because he was at his jail cell, protecting him from the group of men. Plus, he seems like he doe not want Scout and Jem involved in any part of the Tom Robinson case. He wanted them to immediately go home when Scout appeared, then Jem. This case is his personal case because his family is getting involved, the one man grabbed Jem by the collar, Jem almost falling, and Atticus did not do anything about it, Scout was the one who defended her brother. This chapter shows that Mr. Cunningham does not really care for his son Walter, because Scout recognized Mr. Cunningham and started talking about Walter. He had no interest in this particular topic, he pretty much ignored Scout the whole time while she was going on and on about how much of a nice boy he is.
