Why is Scout confused after overhearing remarks about her fathers defense of Tom Robinson?
TruthSteve
Scout is confused because she found out Atticus was appointed to defend Tom Robinson. He never told Scout or Jem that he had to, whether he wanted to or not. She could have used that information as an excuse when everyone was calling him a “n*****-lover”. Yet, the people knew that Atticus had to defend Tom and they still went against him even though he was doing his job.

Scout is confused because she hears contradictory views about her father Atticus defending Tom Robinson. While some people praise Atticus for his courage and integrity, others criticize him for defending a black man in a racially charged case. This conflict in opinions confuses Scout and challenges her understanding of her father and the society she lives in.

"Teh" differences between a great-grad father and a great grand father are as follows: a) grad fathers are fathers who watch you graduate or significantly help you graduate, hence the name GRAD father. A great grad-father therefore is someone who did a particularly good job of helping you graduate. b) grand fathers are fathers who are simply grand, not to be confused with grandfathers (one word) who are actually your fathers' fathers.
