I'm not that sure, but i remember studying the book earlier this year and i think she didn't want Atticus to talk about the case he was in the middle of with Tom, the man who was accused of raping a white woman. I'm sorry if its wrong but chek bbc bitesize.
Calpurnia runs to the Radley's house and knocks on the front door shouting to them about the mad dog. This prompts Scout to point out to Jem that Calpurnia is supposed to go around to the back.
Unlike her brother, Atticus, Alexandra is primarily concerned with appearances. They are from old southern gentry and she is against anything that she feels will lessen the Finch family name. Unfortunately, southern gentry at that time did not consider socializing with black people proper etiquette. She's unhappy about her brother crossing the racial barrier to defend a black man and feels that Jem attending the church will re-enforce what she believes is a bad image.
Aunt Alexandria was waiting for the children when they came home from the church service and she came to turn Scout into a proper lady because it was only a matter of time before she had begun to like clothes and boys.
Aunt Alexandra thinks that Atticus isn't 'parental' enough with Jem and Scout.He doesn't make them call him 'Dad' or 'Father', they call him 'Atticus.' He also doesn't make Scout wear dresses like a girl should (in Aunt Alexandra's opinion) because he knows she'll be hanging out with Jem, climbing trees, climbing fences, etc.He talks to his children like he talks to other adults; he treats them as equals which Aunt Alexandra thinks is incorrect. In her world, adults treat children in an authoritarian manner (boss them around), they don't ask their opinion or explain things to them, they just issue orders.
When Aunt Alexandra arrives at the Finch house, she first criticizes Scout's appearance and then expresses her views on how the Finch family should behave. These comments are typical of Aunt Alexandra, as she is known for being judgmental and opinionated about propriety and social behavior.
calpurnia talks different in front of her black people then she does in front of atticus and his family. and dolphus Raymond pretends like he is drinking alcohol but it is really just soda. so they both are pretending to be someone that they arent.
Atticus knows that he will lose, but he has to defend the man or he can't live with himself. The case is the biggest thing to hit Maycomb County in years and it turns the whole town against Atticus, or so it seems. Scout and Jem are forced to bear the slurs against their father and watch with shock and disillusionment as their fellow townspeople convict an obviously innocent man because of his race.
Mrs. Dubose insults Atticus in front of Jem on pages 135-136 in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
The Children finds Atticus in front of the maycomb jail.
Tom is in the Maycomb County Jail during the time that Atticus faces the mob downtown.
Atticus worried that White men would try to take justice into their own hands. He sat there to protect the prisoner, even if it meant Atticus could be in danger. White men did come, demanding that Atticus step aside.
The children find Atticus in front of the jail reading by the light bulb he left with when he went out one evening.
