In Chapter 26 of "To Kill a Mockingbird", Miss Gates, Scout's third grade teacher, gives a lesson on current events. Miss Gates discusses how the Jews have suffered under Adolf Hitler. Scout begins to see how the Jew's experiences and those of Blacks in Maycomb are similar. Then Scout remember that Miss Gates said said that someone should teach Blacks" a lesson, and how they were getting way above themselves, and the next thing they will think they can marry us.” Scout asks her brother about the remark and Jem says he never wants to hear about what happened at the courthouse again. Atticus explains that Jem thinks he can forget about the trial but he will actually store up the memories and think about them later.
