I belive that it is possible that Scout could have stopped the mob. She was never the girly type to just sit at home playing with dolls; she was more of the tomboy type. Second she WAS THERE to begin with. I think those critics need to see more of the world before they make conclusions like those.
Scout was never a girly-girl. She was more of a tomboy. She seemed to like fighting and hanging out with her brother and Dill a lot. Like her first year of school she beat up little Walter Cunningham. Also she picked a fight with Jem just to prove he was still as childish as she was. That seems to prove, to me, that she could be courageous enough to jump in front of a mob, even without knowing what she’s doing, and defend her dad.
Another thing that makes me feel like she could pursuade a mob to disperse is that she was THERE in the first place. Anyone with a shred of decency can’t possibly kill a girl’s dad right in front of her. Also she brought up Walter and Mr. Cunningham’s entailments right in front of him. After that there was no way he was going to kill Atticus. That is what I think,
P.S. chapter 18 and 19 Are good.

We are all friends here, you don’t need to attack the critics criticisms. You need to further explain the fact that she was there and you don’t need to put it in caps lock.
I like your first reason, but you could have given me more support for that reason (ex. fighting with boys at school).
For the second reason I would like to hear more about the ongoing relationship between the cunninghams and the finches because I think you are right, but you need to show me why you are right instead of just telling me you are.
Does that make sense?
Good start
