Short summary

             Chapters 9 and 10

Chapter 9

Scout gets into a fight with Cecil Jacobs at school because he badmouths Atticus (as Atticus is defending Tom Robinson who is a black man). They also celebrate Christmas at Finch's landing with aunt Alexandra and her family and uncle Jack. Here, Scout also gets into a fight. This time with aunt Alexandra's grandson, the obnoxious Francis. Francis tells Scout that, in aunt Alexandra's opinion, Atticus will ruin the Finch family because of his defence of Tom.

Chapter 10

In the eyes of Jem and Scout, Atticus is an old man of 50,  rather past his prime. When a rabid dog (a dog with rabies, called Tim Johnson) is spotted in the street, Cal calls Atticus who hurries home bringing with him sheriff Heck Tate. Heck tells Atticus to shoot the dog as he is such a good and steady shot. Jem and Scout hear that their father used to be called 'Ol' One Shot', as the best shot in the county. His level of coolness raises accordingly.
