Robinson. Scout realizes something is wrong and reaches out to a man in the group, Mr. Cunningham. She does as she has been told and tries to connect with him by talking about his son who is a schoolmate of hers. Unknowingly, Scout appeals to the man's sense of humanity and forces him to realize he must behave properly and leave Atticus and Tom Robinson alone.
