Theme

1.The chapter's theme I believe is courage. The reason why I think so is because Atticus stayed calm when some people of the town argued with him about the Tom Robinson case and how he was to be kept in a jail cell. He sacrificed his time and spent the late hours one night guarding the jail so the people of the town don't reach to Tom Robinson. He did it despite the fact that others may have done harm on him. In the past chapters, Atticus showed courage by defending Tom Robinson during the case because he believed it was the right thing to do.

2. Chapter 15 shows that Atticus is willing to sacrifice anything to help Tom Robinson, who wanted human rights. He is independent, and relies on his own faith to determine what is true to him. The chapter shows that Mr. Cunningham is too focused on the case to worry about anything else.
