Chapter 11
In this Chapter, we meet Mrs. Dubose, a grouchy old lady who isn't very fond of the Finch family. Why is she always screaming at Jem and Scout when they walk by and why does she seem to be so angry?
Chapter 12
How were Jem and Scout treated when they went to Cal's church?
Chapter 13
Aunt Alexandra and Scout seem to have difficulty getting along. How do their personalities clash and why does Aunt Alexandra desperately want to make Scout into a lady?
Chapter 14
Scout asks Atticus what it means when someone is raped. Atticus replies saying, "rape was carnal knowledge of a female by force and without consent". Do you think it is appropriate for Atticus to share this with his young daughter?
Chapter 15
Do you think Atticus is the right man for the job of defending Tom Robinson on such horrific charges?

Jem and Scout were treated poorly at Cal’s church because they were white. Lula a church member kept giving Cal a hard time about why she brought white kids into a black church. But Zeebo, the garbage collector told them to “pay no attention to Lula she is contentious because Reverend Sykes threatened to church her” so basically there were some kind and welcoming members and others like Lula who were not so kind.
I think Atticus did the wrong thing about telling Scout about rape because when she gets older snd if she learns about rape she would probably be angry with Atticus.
i think that Atticus should never have told Scout what rape is. Atticus also explained the meaning of rape. Scout had asked Calpurnia, but Calpurnia didn't respond.
According to some members of Cal's church, Jem and Scout are outsiders and do not belong or fit in to the church. They are a different skin color and this makes some members of the church uneasy. However, not everyone feels this way like you said. Zeebo seems to have no problem with them being there and they are Cal's guests, so they should be welcomed joyfully.
