In what ways did Scout and Jem make Mr. Cunningham stand in Atticus's shoes in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Being children and discussing the things children
understand like children do puts Mr. Cunningham in Atticus' shoes for a minute at the
jail that night when Cunningham went down to rough Robinson up in chapter
15.


As Scout talked about her relationship with Walter and
what she knew about his entailment Cunningham saw humanity. He saw that Atticus had two
sweet kids that got him through his workday. That's what we all do as parents. We work
to provide what we can for our children. Cunningham could relate to the same in his own
life and realized that he did not want to take anything away from Atticus, a man who has
done many a kind turn for Cunningham in the past.
