The "disaster" was when Francis, Scout's spoiled cousin, told Scout that Atticus was putting the Finches to shame by supporting the African-Americans.
What he really said was, "He's nothin' but a ni***r-lover!" (83)
This would anger anyone because he said it in such an offensive way. Scout was going to punch him, but Uncle Jack held her back.
Later, Scout told Uncle Jack that he did not "understand children much." (85)
Atticus taught Jack that when a child asks you something, you should answer them and not try to evade it. Atticus understands Jem and Scout very much.
The disaster was that Scout hit Francis. It happened because Francis called her father a nigger lover.
Uncle Jack learned from Scout something very important. He learned the way to treat children which is to hear both sides of the story, and then judge.
The Disaster that happened was that Francis disliked Atticus and called him a nigger lover.(For being the lawyer of Tom Robinson) Scout got very angry. And even though Scout promised Atticus that she wouldn't fight with other people, she couldn't hold her temper this time. So Scout and Francis (Scout's cousin) started beating eachother up.
When the parents asked what happened, Fancis started telling lies about what Scout had done. Scout was very angry at Francis.
The “disaster” that happened in Christmas at the Finches landing was that Francis had called Atticus a n***** lover. Scout felt enraged by this and hit Francis. Francis afterwards had gone to tell on Scout with Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack then had brought this up to Scout he didn’t believe Scout so he went to Francis. Unckle Jack the learned that he had to hear both sides of the story before coming into a conclusion, just like a trial: the jury had to listen to the accuser and the defender in order to afterwards come into a conclusion.
Francis had talked bad about Atticus because he was defending Tom Robinson, an African-American. Since Scout really respects Atticus, she got mad and had punched Francis, just as Uin had said. Uncle Jack learned that adults should know how to listen to the children, and also hear from both sides, meaning from Francis' view point, but also from Scout's view point. He learned from Atticus that he should first listen to them, and after go to conclusions.
Francis said to Scout that her father was a (n-i-g-g-e and a r)-lover which made Scout mad. Francis then told his mom that Scout had him in his room and wouldn't let him out when, in fact, Scout was downstairs where Aunt Alexandra could see her. But, for some unexplicable reason, Aunt Alexandra believed Francis and told Scout that she wanted to hear no more of this fighting. But Scout didn't obbey her Aunt and started beating up Francis. Uncle Jack was disappointed by Scout and Scout told him that she hated him. Later on, Uncle Jack confessed to Atticus that children confused him and that he would better not get married since his children wouldn't like him because he didn't know how to treat them correctly. But Atticus told him that you learn together with the children while you grow up with them. I therefore disagree with Adrian that Uncle Jack learned that he would have to llisten to both sides to make a fair conclusion and pronounce the defender guilty or not guilty.
Well, turns out that Francis is a kid that gets practically whatever he wants. He came to visit and did not think of the consequences of calling people names. He called Atticus a n$#~r lover and Scout beat him up with one punch in the face. Atticus and Uncle Jack saw this. Scout explained to Jack what had happened and he understood her reaction very well. He talked to Atticus about it and that was the talk he would remember all his life. He learned that that one should always hear both sides of the story before actually making a good judgement. This is something that he would remember all his life.
The disaster was that Francis degraded Atticus because of defending an African-American. He said, "He's nothing but a n****r-lover." (83) This angered her because he said it in a very offensive way. When she was about to punch Francis, Uncle Jack interfered. Later on, Uncle Jack learned how to deal with children. He learned that he should answer the questions directly and to listen both sides before judging. He learns that Atticus and Scout have a very good relationship.
What happend was that Francis, told Scout that her father, Atticus was nothing but a "n----r lover". This got Scout really angry and made her want to hit her cousin.
What uncle Jack learned from his brother and Scout was that before criticism or making a decision and get one or the other angry, listen to both sides.
