Answer:

Ishmael and Queequeg arrive in Nantucket with no further misadventure. Ishmael fills this brief chapter with a rhapsody on the nature of Nantucket, where, as the story goes, a small Native American boy was once carried by a bird, and where his family went after to find him, and settled, thus founding the town. Nantucket is now almost entirely a port for whaling and fishing, and Ishmael remarks that, although the great colonial powers of the earth seek far and wide for land to add to their empires, Nantucket “controls two-thirds of the world” because its denizens control the seas, and make their money in pursuit of “walruses and whales.”

<span>Scout addresses Walter Cunningham by greeting him and starting a conversation then asking him to say hi to his son for her. By doing so, she relieves the tension in the situation by adding humility and compassion to the situation. Scout's innocence in the situation incites compassion from Mr Cunningham who is moved by her courteous behavior and the care she shows in connecting with him and acknowledging his family. Scout sees Mr Cunningham as a person while the racism of the mob members shrouds their humanity and essential goodness. Scout's polite address to Mr Cunningham allows him to recognize her essential goodness and he therefore responds in a civil and compassionate manner. Atticus later reflects on the situation by stating that "a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human.".</span>
