In chapter two Dill leaves Maycomb to return to the town Merridian. Scout prepares to go to school for the first time. Once scout gets to school she meets her new teacher Miss Caroline Fisher who deals poorly with children. Once Miss Caroline concludes that scout was taught how to read by Atticus Miss Caroline starts to make scout feel guilty for being educated. At break time scout complains to Jem about Miss Caroline but just tells scout that Miss Caroline is trying out a new method. Walter Cunningham (a boy in scouts class) didn’t bring in lunch, so Miss Caroline offers him a quarter to buy lunch telling him that he can pay her back tomorrow. Walters family is very large and poor which means that he wouldn’t be able to pay Miss Caroline back and will never have lunch. Scout tries to explain Walters problem but Miss Caroline gets frustrated and slaps scout across the hand with a ruler.
