Scout learns that her father was appointed to defend Tom Robinson. She observes, "The court appointed Atticus to defend him. Atticus aimed to defend him. That's what they didn't like about it.
It was confusing." What does the reader understand about why the townspeople are upset that Scout doesn’t?

Explanation:

Simce racism was very strong in those days, the townspeople did not like that he was a black man, regardless of the case that Atticus was taking. Scout being just a little girl, she didn't really understand why the townspeople were upset that her father was taking the case.

"The demon was a big, cheerful-looking demon with a bland, round face. He eyed father."
