I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and I am on page 176. This book is about a little girl named Scout growing up. She has to adapt to the changes that come with growing up.

Atticus understands that Jem is hurting from Mrs. Dubose’s comments, but he also understands that Mrs. Dubose is hurting too. Atticus allows her to insult him and
