"Then" is used in an "if-then" scenario, to dictate chronological order. In other words, "If you jump off, then you will fall," or "he was attacked and then retreated."
"Than" is used for comparisons. In other words, "The egg was bigger than the pea," or "I'm stronger than you."

Normally than is comparing something like this "Steve wanted a red shirt rather than a blue shirt." "i like swimming every now and then" "he said it then why wouldn't he say it now?" "i would rather eat fish than frog." <span />

What is the conversation in chapter nine between scout and Atticus and what does it tell us about these two characters and what

Ivahew [28]

It's saying that Atticus is a respectable person who doesn't see race as a reason to or to not defend someone; he's not racist. It shows that racism in the south is common, and that because of that, Scout has grown up being taught to be racist. Atticus is trying to turn her away from that and get her to focus on the person's true self, not the color of their skin.
