Francis called Atticus, Scout's father, a black-lover. Scout forgets everything Atticus had told her(to ignore people's comments on him and lower her pride and not get into fights) and loses her temper and fights with Francis. Later on, she gets into trouble but Uncle Jack hears her side of the story and finds out that Francis is the trouble-maker and he is the one that starts every fight. (:
In the language used in the book, Scout beats up Francis for calling Atticus a n****r lover.
When the family goes to Aunt Alexandra's for Christmas, Scout hits Francis for calling Atticus a"nigger-lover". On Scout's first day of school she beats up Walter Cunningham because he made her look bad in front of their teacher. He didn't have lunch and Scout had to explain why. The teacher got made at Scout, so Scout got mad at Walter.
The battle of Trenton
On Christmas Day, Atticus takes his children and Jack to Finch's Landing, a rambling old house in the country where Atticus's sister, Alexandra, and her husband live. There, Scout endures Francis, Alexandra's grandson, who had been dropped off at Finch's Landing for the holiday. Scout thinks Francis is the most "boring" child she has ever met. She also has to put up with the prim and proper Alexandra, who insists that Scout dress like a lady instead of wearing pants.
They are giving gifts 2 each other and are trying not to fight on Christmas eve or Christmas day
Boxing Day is the day right after Christmas Day in many countries. On this day, workers receive gifts from their employers. This is neither a fight day or a moving day, the term "boxing" has a unknown origin.
World Scout day is on the 1st of August.
Lets Not Fight This Christmas The kids are up and at 'em, They're up before the sun Running round the bedroom now that Christmas has begun. I'm dragged down to the front room to sit beside the tree, We're opening the presents that Santa's brought for me. They call to tell their Mother, its Christmas and that Dad, Has said to come round to see the presents that they've had. Church bells ringing, choirs are singing. She's awkward in the kitchen, It used to be her home. The turkey's in the oven and I'm sitting on my throne. I hear the family quibble, I try to keep it calm. She said a friend had seen me with a young girl on my arm. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. The kids are in their bedrooms, We're watching the TV. She's on the other sofa, I want to fall asleep. We've come this far together, In a day of measured truce, Eastenders on the telly, And then it's time for Bruce. Church bells ringing, choirs are singing. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. Heading home for Christmas time (Let's not fight) Heading home for Christmas time. (Let's not fight) Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's not fight this Christmas, all we need is here. Let's not fight this Christmas, let's not fight this year. Let's find hope this Christmas, And spread that Christmas cheer. Let's not fight.
Francis died on December 2. There are more than 10,000 named saints and only 365 days in a year so every day has several saints that are celebrated. Even Christmas Day has a number of saints that are remembered that day besides the Nativity of Our Lord.
In Virginia, it was too cold to fight anyway. In Tennessee, the Battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River) started on New Year's Eve. No doubt Christmas Day was spent in busy preparations.
