In this chapter Jem and Scout were questioning their dads abilities to do anything. At first it seemed as if Atticus was not special in any way, but then in a lifethreating situation a secrete is reveald. Jem and Scout learn that Atticus was a sharpshooting champion in his time and was called "one shot". Being an expert marksmen is no easy task and Atticus in this chapter examples the task with ease. This helps to prove the pattern that atticus is no ordinary father which is shown in recent chapters. This makes me think if Atticus has any other surprises or mabey even a few skeletons in his closet.
vocabulary:feeble

other source that helps prove my point about marksmenship not being easy:(wikipedia)
Good example of a link that helps provide context for thinking about the chapter.
