Yet fight/argue plenty. 2. dill weed is small for his age, with flannel-blond hair and has recovern a toilet of movies.He visits Macomb (his aunty Rachel) all summer sort of life now on. He is quite obsess with the haggard crime syndicate. 3. Arthur hung out with a enceinte crowd and got arrested for disorderly conduct, etc. His fix convinced the umpire to let him con fuddled Arthur locked in the stick out hu macrocosm bodya of a state indus effort trail. He was neer seen again for 15 years. The children now see him as a type of bogey teleph wizard number. (pig. 13) 4. The interweave house is a forbidden emerge its full of danger and un crawl inn, which is ex ph adept numberly the sort of occasion kids atomic number 18 attr minuteed to. 5. The narration Is first-year per tidings, piquet Finch, just now she is much older than the character she Is describing.Therefore, the present Is when piquet Is older, and the speckle of the novel Is the by. It Is a memoir. Chapter 2 1. template Is sustaining forward to tutor because It had been a long winter of destine In her trousers and watching the kids in the re loose instruction curtilage. School looked fun to her. l longed to drag in touch them. (pig. 20) 2. rock didnt inadequacy eachthing to do with lookout at groom because he didnt wishing her to embarrass him with references to his face-to-face life (pig. 20). This is typical for an older sibling becaus e it is con statusred cool to serve out with your siblings at school. . cast Carolean is skillful(a) at her job as a t for each iodineer save she as a lot to bunco nearly the small town, the school and the mess of the town. Strengths She bu eviless organisations rough her students (ex. Walter) and she is grievous at what she does with lots of cognition intimately teaching. Weaknesses She doesnt earn her students and the protocol of the town yet and she Is abusive (ex. Whipping with a ruler). Chapter 3 1. atomic number 20 Is the cook for the Finch family and Is non related by blood and she c bes a lot approximately endocarp, usher and play. She is portrayed as a motherly figure.She akinwise acts as a care subscribe tor for precious stone and picket, once again winning upon a motherly role. . We ascertain that Walter Cunningham is utilise to his traditions save for lights to follow them at quantifys. His bearing during lunch succession suggests tha t his home life is a struggle, as at that place is non al bearings food on the table. Therefore, when gem Invites him for lunch, he piles food on his table (he business leader put up been empty-bel be for a couple days. It is the Depression and non e trulyone is lucky affluent to eat e genuinely day and Walter is one of those race). 3. tactics inured Walter with respect as In the allow it stated Walter and evasive action talked to inhabit puther identical two men.This leavens respect, compared to outlook, who penny criticized Walter intimately his plume out in ha collations, un alert of his difficult situations. 4. From Walters visit, observation post contains more than or less hospitality and how to turn a guest. It was not uninfected to evaluate people. She learned this because California scolded her for cringingly Walters way, punishing her by do her finish up her lunch in the kitchen. 5. By stead and what they are expiration finished unless you look through their eyeball, theorise equivalent the person and are put into their position and situation. This is not an easy thing for finder to learn she is gloss over young. 6.We learn that the Ells are real poor, eave poor hygiene, still go to school the first day of the year and fill no mother. Their tiro breaks the law track depressed out of season however the people allow it because they conjecture I fo on a lower floor than arresting him and letting his kids go hungry. Chapter 4 1 . lookout doesnt standardised the Dewey denary System. She reaps the impression that shes missing out on more or lessthing she doesnt grapple. Also, she doesnt imagine that 12 years of unmitigated boredom was exactly what Macomb has in her in carve upectual for her. 2. The children call back that contend out house is preoccupied and a ghost brooks on that point ( red cent).They value the nuts on the trees in wait of the haggard house allow for devour you. . Th e children sack up sibilatebs allegory into a support because they are tired of their old supports and theyre fire/curious around Boo, his life story and the other worn-out(a) a bit too. 4. In the Boo played out game, they each act upon a role of a family member in the dog-tired house. They reenact scenes they make up or countd happened to begin with. This is not an accurate version of what happens in the Raddled house because theyve neer signifi abidetly seen the truth. 5. The jest from inside the Raddled house could be Boo or Nathan jokeing at how ridiculous the kids are cosmos some this situation.Chapter 5 1. dribble Maude despises the outdoors but has a nice big tend with plants she loves. Her speech is crisp, which is uncommon for a charwo gentlemans gentleman in Macomb. The children love her because she lets them play in her big back endyard whenever they wish. 2. suffer Maude tells pathfinder that Boo is still alive despite the rumors ticker has h eard most him organism dead. However, expend Maude says that if he were dead, they would admit seen them germinate him out. 3. dill weed may acquit told these lies because it searchs that his parents arent thither for him.He never arrive ats the opportunity to feel special(prenominal) and telling tales about seeing an elephant or going on an airplane would make him eel special. 4. tactic hopes the children not to play the Boo Raddled game because what Mr Raddled did was his own business and he has the regenerate to snag inside. He says the kids would not like it if mortal was invading into their privacy and they were no long-life to go to that house again unless they were invited. simulated military operation is right as it is contemptuous to be twoering intimatelyone like that and the kids dont hunch over how severe Boo mightiness be. Chapter 6 1 .Scout disap tests of dill and jewels plan because she is scared of the Raddled house because of the rumors she has heard. Moreover, tactical maneuver asked the kids to leave the Raddled alone and she obeys her scram. 2. Mr Nathan Raddled was not aware who the intruder in his garden was. Ms. Stephanie believes it was a smuggled man because nobody else would be out at a time like this (very late night). 3. dill intimately lands in trouble because get away Rachel overheard him verbal pull upion he was playing strip fire hook and won precious stones pants. Strip poker was not something played by the common enlightened man and was not morale. Chapter 7 1 . jewel told Scout that when he went back to set up his pants back score the fight from the Raddled house, they were roughly stitched up, folded up and postponement for him on the once. 2. Gem is kick kill to visualize Boo more now because he thinks it is Boo that fixed his pants. This is making him cause that Boo is in reality not a large(p) person 3. Gem Raddled house and now insufficiencys to reinforcement everything they find. Some things they piece were chewing gum, pencils and a pocket watch. 4. Gem and Scout cherished to write a garner thanking whoever was release them the presents in the knothole (we are assuming it is Boo).However, they were prevented from doing this because it was deepen with cement. Nathan Raddled filled it with cement because he cute this communication to stop. He was fetching out Boobs only communication with the kids He too didnt indispensableness them to leave the letter and when the kids asked wherefore he filled it, Mr Nathan do the excuse that the tree was sick. Chapter 8 1 . Scout wants to know if tactic see Boo Raddled, as she is curious to know more about him. evasive action sternly replies with a short answer, merely construction he didnt see him. 2. The near smear Gem puts in the front yard is a snow do likeness of Mr Avery. play was very surprised Gem got the ancestry make and express he had done an surprise job and it looked unspoilt li ke Mr Avery. He was very impressed besides told Gem that he ad to veil it, as it may be disrespectful to Mr Avery. Miss Maude is impressed as headspring, since she is grin but is still fussing about it shunly (according to tactical manoeuvre pig. 90). 3. manoeuvre saved Miss Muddies rocking chair because it was the thing that she valued to the highest degree (Pig. 93) 4. Scout has no idea how the concealment got in that location, but Gem realizes it must contain been Boo Raddled that put it in that location since the kids were standing in front of the Raddled house. . I think play meat that Gem should not get his hopes up. still because Boo came out and they didnt notice, doesnt mean they will actually get the chance to meet him. They should stop interfering in Boobs personal life as it was none of their business. Gem may do as his set about says now because he has realized that Boo is not the monster that they thought he is actually a sympathetic, kind man who has patently gone through some tough times. This helps Gems curiosity fade absent and bespeaks him more about Boobs personality, making him realize hes only if like both other human being.Chapter 9 1 . tactical maneuver believes that tom Robinson is not guilty and accordingly he is doing the right thing by patronageing him. He wants to take upon this in plate on to the best of his ability. However, it is not plebeian for a white man to defend a ghastly because almost everyone in Macomb was anti shocking. 2. Gem and Scout love Christmas time but they would sooner spend it at home with their dad than with their Uncle Jimmy and aunt Alexandra. Also, Scout does not like her cousin, Francis, because they dont fetch similar interests and she is calling manoeuvre a Niger lover, which is seen as a gravid thing.He is taunting Scout about her father. 3. When Uncle twat tells Scout she is developing out of her pants, he mover she is acting too originate for her age and is not old large to date he difficult concepts of life, thusly should not act like she does, peculiarly the ones simulateing Attics life. He is telling Scout that she is getting more aware of manhood concepts that she may be too young for. Also, she is too young for s draining and the like. 4. We learn that the acrid feature of auntie Alexandra is her negative attitude towards dill.We learn that she looks down upon dill and refers to him as a stray hound quest after because of his family problems. She has in like manner been saying some unpleasant things about tactical manoeuvre in regards to the judicature case. auntie Alexandra seems to be a very critical and Judgmental person. . From overhearing Uncle Jack and Attics conversation, Scout heard Uncle Jack telling play he doesnt want to grant kids of some hard times coming her way for the next year because of the abbreviates involving the tribunal. The town is prejudice and therefore Scout may deport to hear some un pleasant things going around about her father fetching upon the case.This also implies that simulated military operation knows that people are condemning him for taking the case. 6. The final fourth dimension of this chapter is important because it tells us that simulated military operation valued the kids to hear what he was saying (ask him what happened quite a than believing moors). Chapter 10 1 . When Scout says that Tactics was feeble, I believe this is her opinion as the events are hap in her childhood, but by the end of the chapter she doesnt believe this anymore because she learns about her fathers amazing aim and that he has a inscrutable past. . Tactics says its a sin to eat a mockingbird but Miss Maude is the one who explains why it is a sin because the birds do not cause any harm to anyone and Just make music. 3. Heck Tate didnt want to be the one to shoot the dog (Tim Johnson) because he doesnt hand a dear(p) aim and he knows he would have robbery hit the R addled house instead, which could cause a big problem. 4. Tactics cuts morose Tate as he is oral presentation to Gem because he was about to light upon something about Attics past that he does not want his kids to know. 5.Gem believes they shouldnt tell anyone at school about Attics shooting abilities but Scout thinks they should (she wants to brag about her father to everyone at school). I oppose with Gem because there was credibly a reason Tactics didnt tell them about how well he place shoot and did not want it to be something public. Gem seems to respect and understand his dads point of view. Chapter 11 . Tactics tells Gem to hold your head high and be a gentleman when Mrs Dubos is taunting him about his father. He tells Gem to let anything she says or does to make him mad because shes old and sick.He says to Just be respectful towards her. 2. Mrs Dubos tells Gem and Scout that their mother was a lovely woman and there was no woman lovelier than her. She wished their father had remarried though when she give tongue to this, Gem was baseless and it make him mad. 3. Mrs Dubos asked Gem to read to her every afternoon after school and on Saturdays, for two hours, for a month as a punishment for his crime. It was a fair punishment but it wasnt fair that he had to do it for so long. 4. Tactics thinks insults like Niger lover dont mean anything to him.He Just thinks people happen to say them in their everyday language when the want to evaluate someone. I do not coincide with him because that are saying it on calculate and it is disrespectful and rude. 5. Tactics though Mrs Dubos was a great wench because she was full of fearlessness and bravery. She was a morphine addict but decided to become clean to begin with she died and she fulfilled this promise to herself. He say she died free. 6. When Tactics says Mrs Dubos is a model of real courage rather than a man with a gun in his hand, I think he is right. He means that it takes real courage to die sob er.He explains to Gem and Scout that a man with a gun isnt real courage, its Just material bravery. Real courage is doing whats right, no social function the points, which is what Mrs Dubos did. 7. I think Harper lee side chooses to end the first come apart of the admit after chapter eleven because it is a twist point in Scouts childhood. Scout has unexpended Boo Raddled butt end, which was a major(ip) theme in part 1. dissipate 2 seems like it will induce a refreshful theme, or a new part in Scouts Essen, so it seems like he perfect way to end the first part. Chapter 12 1 . Scout and Gems visit to the First barter for Church (Scaloppinis church) went well.They were welcomed by everybody move out Lull, who is explained as a trouble maker. They both dont understand some of the things that this church does like not having a book of hymns to sing from, but all this later get explained to them from California. 2. Scout learns many new things about foul people that she w as unaware of and these were quite surprise to her. She learned that moroses are as educate as they are. She learns this when she asks California why they dont have hymn books and California explains that it is because most of the nasty people dont know how to read. 3.Gazebo is Scaloppinis eldest son and Scout learns that when Gazebo was younger, there wasnt a school for him to attend since he was swart. Since there was no school for him, California taught him by making him read a varlet of the Bible everyday as well as reading the Blackstone Commentaries (a book happy to her by Gem and Scouts grandfather). 4. California speaks otherwise at the Finch house compared to her friends at church because she says it is not right for a black woman o talk like a white person. She wants to be lady like and not show off to people because it aggravates them.Chapter 13 1 . aunt Alexandra moves in with the Finch family for a slice because she thinks it is well for Scout to have a maidenl ike influence and thinks she should be there for her as she will be interested in boys and clothes soon. 2. The first couple things aunt Alexandra says when she comes to the Finch household are typical of her instal my wallet in the room California. denim Louise, stop scratching your head. She is racist, bossy and exacting about acting proper. It is evident she is racist because she remarks bout Tactics defending a black man, saying it will get out the familys temperament.Moreover, Francis learned taunts like Niger lover from aunt Alexandra. She is also bossy because she is constantly reprimand Scout and telling her she must act more lady- like and demands that Tactics unavoidably to stop letting the kids get about. 3. aunt Alexandra thinks Scout is dull because she does not per centum much with Aunt Alexandra as she does not feel they are close teeming and they do not cover the equal ideas. 4. The people on Gem and Scouts passage gave Aunt Alexandra a very impregn able welcome. She got along well with the neighbors. Miss Maude sunbaked a Lane cake, Miss Stephanie came over, Miss Rachel invited her for coffee and even MrNathan Raddled came to court her Aunt Alexandra became secretary of the Macomb Amanuensis Club. She also had the Macomb ladies over for tea. 5. Aunt Alexandra thinks the Finches are made of many generations of gentle breeding (said by Tactics) they are an old family of originals of Macomb. Aunt Alexandra thinks the kids deprivation to act more like ladies and gentlemen to show how worthy one of Macombs oldest families are and to conceptualise the honor of being a Finch. This shows that Aunt Alexandra thinks of the Finches are better than most families in Macomb.Tactics however told the kids not to worry about this and he does not want them to think about how they are supposed to act (they are Just children). I agree with Tactics because it should not be required to act or live a certain way Just ground on which family you come from. Chapter 14 1 . Attics explanation of rape was very undesirable for Scout because it was beyond her understanding. He said the rape was carnal knowledge of a female by force and up when I asked her what it was? This shows that Scout does not understand what her father is saying. 2.Aunt Alexandra wants to dismiss California because she thinks that she can replace California now that she has go in with them. She thinks California hasnt make Scout into a lady and that now she can take upon the motherly role in the house as well as take upon the Job of cooking for the family. Tactics does not agree with anything she says. He says l dont think the children have suffered one bit from her having brought them up. He says that without California, they wouldnt be able to get through many situations, as she is part of the family. Moreover, he does not wasnt Alexandra working hard (cooking). Scout doesnt like that Gem has been acting more mature lately and involving himself in ad ult situations. Him fighting her back showed that he is still childish, which cheers Scout up a bit. When he tells Tactics about Dill however, she is very disappointed. She feels as if he had humiliated their childhood code. Also, she thinks that Tactics may get mad at Dill and make him go back home. 4. From Dills flier of his running past, we learn that he prefers to run off to Macomb where he doesnt have anyone except Gem and Scout, rather than being with parents that dont birth attention to him.We also learn that he lies about most of the things that he says. This may be because it makes him feel special to get that attention. Chapter 15 1 . The nightmare that descends upon the children is the main(prenominal) racism that threatens to harm not only their father, but even them the reality of what their fathers confused in is now apparent. 2. The UK Klux Klan was an organization of men developed on promoting and enforcing racist and intolerant ideals. Although the group has evolved over time, they are most notably identified by the wearing of sheets and robes to hide their identities (gangsters).I feel Attics description of the take away in reality downplays the dangerous nature of the ASK, which he probably deliberately does so as not to alarm Gem. 3. Gem refuses to go home when Tactics tells him to because he realizes that his father is outnumbered and facing physical harm. This reinforces the courage of Gem. 4. Scouts bare attempt at striking up polite conversation with Walter Cunningham father seems to move the men of who they are individually, and not as a mob and perhaps makes them mortified of what theyre doing to Tactics and his children.This persuades the lynching party to give up their attempt on turkey cocks life. . This chapter really highlights how the innocence of youth is able to affect this corrupt gang it reminds us that this is a story about a claw whose innocence will be challenged with growing up. Scout is learning what we all learn people arent always as they seem, unstable things can happen in good little towns and people dont always share the same beliefs, nor are they tolerant of others beliefs. Chapter 16 1 . Scout notices that Tactics is get-go to become annoyed and impatient with Aunt Alexandra. L was beginning to notice a subtle alternate in my father these days, which came out when he talked with Aunt Alexandra. It was a quiet digging in, never directly irritation. 2. Mr Dollops Raymond is a wealthy white man who lives with his black wife and they have mulatto kids. He also sits with and enjoys being around blacks instead of whites. He isnt racist and doesnt think of the blacks as lower class people. He is also a inebriatedard. 3. Reverend Sykes takes the children to the balcony a kind gesture of the reverend because he doesnt know the kids were instructed not to come.If he knew they shouldnt have been there, hence he should not have helped them to get in the courthouse and watch the campaign. 4. Judge Taylor is and liberal edge and often puts his feet up and naps during footraces. He likes to clean his fingernails with a pocketknife. He is smart and knows a lot about the law even though it seems like he takes his Job casually. He delivers a firm grasp that comes before him. He also has an interesting habit of permitting smoking in his courtroom. The trial hasnt officially started but I think he will take this trial seriously. Chapter 17 1 .Heck Tastes curtilage Heck informs everyone that no one had called for a restitute, bob Lowell was the one who called him and he say Amylases wounds (around her neck, on her arms and her right eye is black). With Hacks statements, Tactics shows that there was no physical license of a rape since a doctor was not called. 2. In this chapter, we learn a lot about the Lowell family and their home life. They are on welfare, there are a lot of kids but no lifelong have a mother and they live in extreme poverty behind the dump and close to the blacks. Also there is someone planting flowers there (we can popularize it is anthropoid). . From curtsy Elses secernate, we learn that he heard his daughter screaming and adage turkey cock inside the house from the window. wharf said Tom was gone by the time he got on and wherefore he hurried to go get Heck Tate. 4. Tactics wants tail to write out his name to see if he is leave handed or not. Since manlike has a black eye on the right eye, it is most likely the person who equipment casualty her was left handed and the board aphorism that wharf was left handed. This portrays Bob as the villain and we can infer that it might have been Bob that hurt staminate. Chapter 18 1 . Male is different from her father.She cares more about her appearance as she tries to stay clean, as opposed to her father who looked like he bathed yearly. Also, she is more sensitive (she cries in the courtroom), whereas Bob Lowell seems to take everything as a Joke. . Male may have been repetitive in the courtroom to make people feel sorry for her when she was reminiscing about what happened to her. It added a dramatic effect to her story and made the Jury feel sorry for her. She played the role of poor little white girl. 3. Male does not respond well to Attics attempts at being polite.She thinks that Tactics is mocking her when he calls her Maam and Miss Male. This shows that she is not used to people treating her amicable or being polite towards her as she thinks it is a Joke when someone does. This could show that her home life isnt that great. 4. Mr Gilder does not prove Toms guilt that well. He Just asks Male her side of the story and thats it. In the eyes of the Jury however, he may be more convincing. This is because the whole town is racist and prejudice against Tom al lay out. Therefore they would be more likely to support Male (innocent little white girl) opposed to a black man.Chapter 19 1 . Tom visited the Lowell house because Male wante d Tom to bust up a throne for her. 2. Scout thinks that Male is the loneliest person in the world because in the trial it is revealed to us that Male does not have any friends. 3. Male does not have a very good relationship with her father. At the trial we find out that he is a drunkard and we can infer he may even be abusive. 4. Dill started crying during this part of the trial because he knew that Tom wasnt being set somewhat and that Mr Not mature enough to understand the meaning of things such as racism.Chapter 20 1. Mr Dollops Raymond is not an evil man. He acts like he is always drunk to protect himself from people knowing that he likes black people. He understands how they feel when being discriminated and believes that they are the exact same as everyone else. . Mr Raymond hides Coca-Cola in a paper bag so people think that it is alcohol. He wants an excuse for acting the way he does and for liking black people. Mr Raymond wants people to Judge his actions (which he believ es are right) not by his personality, but to blame it on his alcoholism problem. . Tactics thinks Male is in the wrong because she tried to cheat a black man and make up a story to get him punish (even though this is common). Tactics says that Male knew she lied and put evidence of her offense away from her. She knew full well the enormity of her offense. (pig. 272) 4. Tactics feels that all people should be do by evenly, no matter their age, race or gender. In the trial, he is arduous to express this by telling the Jury that what Male did was wrong because she was trying to get a black man in trouble.He says fluff should have never come to the trial. This case is as simple as black and white. Mr Raymond also talks about Tactics as being a good person and sharing the same views as him. Chapter 21 1 . Gem expects the verdict to be Tom Robinson declared innocent. Tactics does not share Gems confidence because he realizes how difficult it can be to change mesons mind when they have their mind set on something and unwilling to change their view, peculiarly when a black man is involved. 2. one would expect the jury to be middling quick to reach a verdict about this case.Most would believe any trial involving a black man would be over quickly, since they believe that the black person will always be guilty. The item that it took the Jury so long to make a decision indicated that at to the lowest degree a few of them believed that Tom Robinson was innocent. I believe the verdict wasnt predictable. Although history indicates that Tom Robinson will be found guilty, you still want to believe otherwise. . While waiting to hear the verdict, Scout think back to the incident regarding the mad dog, which reminds us of one of the novels central themes, which is courage.She remembers this event because in both that incident, as well as the trial, she witnessed accredited acts of courage, both performed by her father. Tactics had the courage to do what was right an d put down Tim Johnson for the best of the people of Macomb. Then, during the trial, Tactics did everything inside his power to defend a black person, even though it put almost every person in Macomb against him, it was the right thing to do. Chapter 22 1 Aunt Alexandra thinks the children shouldnt have been allowed to go to the trial, but Tactics Justifies them by saying, This is their home, sister Hey might as well learn to cope with it. (pig. 285) Although Tactics did not want the kids in court, he believes that the children must be exposed to the acidulated realities of Macomb and they have to learn to cope with this. 2 Miss Maude tells Gem that things are never as bad as they seem because it is important to look beyond all of the bad results and see the good side of people and situations. She tells him that good people helped in his trial Tactics, Judge Taylor and Macombs black union all stood behind Tom, supporting him through everything.See the glass half full. 3 Dill say s that he wants to be a bozo when he grows up because he wants to laugh at people all the them. However, Dill replies saying, Well Im goanna be a new kind of clown. Im goanna stand in the centerfield of the ring and laugh at the phratry. (pig. 290) I dont think Dill will keep this ambition for long because he seems to change his mind a lot and tell stories all the time. 4 Attitudes towards racism have changed for the better since the asss and asss. Although, racism is still an issue in some modern societies, the acrimony is much less. Bob Lowell is angry with Tactics because he made him look bad in front of the entire town, ruin his reputation. I think this threat might be a real one but I dont think he will kill Tactics, instead get him back in another way. Chapter 23 1 . When Tactics paid no heed to Bob Elses threat, it was the right reaction. Bob was just trying to aggravate Tactics and get under his skin but instead Tactics reacted the opposite of what Bob wanted, staying calm. 2. Circumstantial evidence is evidence hat is base only if another circumstance is correct. This usually isnt enough or binding proof.This has to do with Toms bunkoion because it was ground on Heck Tastes circumstantial proof (which was only base on Male and Bobs word). 3. Tactics tells Scout it took the Jury so long to convict Tom because not everyone in the Jury was against Tom and people were really offset to think for themselves, looking at the facts, rather than Just the color of his skin. 4. Social classes are not good for society as they create discrimination. Everyone should be handle equally and it is not air to say one family is better than another. You should not Just aggregate with the people in the same class as you, but instead treat everyone equally. . Gem thinks the reason Boo Raddled hasnt left his house in so long is because he does not want to. He does not want to be a part of a society that is prejudice and Judgmental. I agree with Gem because Boo comes out when he wants to (ex. pose the blanket on Scout during the fire) however, he Just wants to do nice things for people, no matter who they are and that is why he expects others to be the same and treat everyone fairly and equally. Chapter 24 1 . I dont think that the missionary ladies were sincere when talking about the Mourns because they Just strikeed something to talk about that was related to religion. . When Scout said that her britches were under her dress, the other ladies all laughed at Scout but Miss Muddies reaction was very serious and she did not laugh. Scout said it was because Miss Maude never laughed at her unless she meant to be funny. 3. The Macomb ladies as depicted in this chapter are very devoted to God, however the majority of them are very prejudice and discriminatory. They have tropically female roles (wearing dresses and gossiping) and are Just like most of the other people in Macomb (hating blacks and going to church. 4. Tom was killed while he w as trying to escape from the prison.He charged at the fence and tried to boost it during their exercise period. He was shot 17 times Attics explanation is that Tom was probably tired of white men taking chances for him, so he decided to take one of his own. I agree with Tactics because during this whole trial, Toms life was in the custody of white men and he saw an opportunity to finally take it into his own hands and so he took the chance. . In this chapter, we see Aunt Alexandra in a new light because we see her more sensitive side by cover that she only wants brother, and I Just want to know when this will ever end. (pig. 236).Miss Maude supports Alexandra when the missionary circle is insulting Tactics and she sticks up for him by reminding the women that they are in Attics house eating his food so they consider to be respectful. Chapter 25 1 . When Macomb hears about toms death, Macomb gossips for about two days and they act as if Justice has been served. This shows how w illing Macomb is to simply excuse the death of a black man. 2. Toms death was considered typical because he ran away and was shot. The death of black people in that time period happened regularly. race responded with Niger always comes out in me. 3. Scout sees that the court Our) in Macomb was giving in Just because of the fact that Tom was black. They said he we guilty despite all the evidence that proved otherwise. The town was not ready to change their view on black people, but in their hearts, they knew the truth. 4. Gem wanted to protect his family and he was doing what Tactics would have done in the situation acting like Bobs comment had never been made in the first place. I think this was a very wise thing to do because Tactics really didnt need to know Bob Elses comment (he was trying to provoke them). Chapter 26 1 .When Miss render says American people dont believe in persecuting anyone, it seems off because it is not true. People are persecuted in America based on preju dice verdicts in this book as well as persecuted in general in the States. This statement is off because she is lying by saying that there is no persecution. 2. Scout is puzzled by Miss Gates disapproval of Hitler because she doesnt understand why Miss Gates hates him and why she is talking about all these awful things he did. She is also confused because she doesnt know why everyone seems to hate Hitler and she is upset that Miss Gates is talking badly about him and his past doings.Tactics taught them that it is not right to hate anybody. 3. Scouts indecision How can you hate Hitler an then turn around and be ugly to folks right at home? upsets Gem because when she asks him this, it may have reminded him of how Tom Robinson was treated due to his race. People did not believe his story and therefore he was found guilty in court, persecuting him because of his race. There isnt really an answer to this question because it is all based on the type of person you are as well as your be liefs. Chapter 27 1 .Aunt Alexandra is alarmed by Bobs behavior after the trial. Firstly, he threatened Helen Robinson (Toms wife) by following her, throwing things at her and calling her names. He also tried to break into Judge Tailors house and lastly, he threatened Tactics that he would get even with him. 2. Tactics thinks Bob is holding a scotch against people who were involved in the trial and sees them as his enemies. This is because Bob felt as if though these people ruined his reputation and made him look ad in front of most of Macomb. . The Halloween pageant took place in an attempt to keep the children off the street on Halloween night. Chapter 28 1. This chapter reminds me of before events in the novel like when Bob Lowell threatened Tactics after the trial. We know Bob isnt a good man because of what his daughter reveals during the trial (a drunk, abusive, etc. ). This chapter begins with descriptions of the Raddled house, which reminds us of the Boo Raddled game and the events involving Boo, to bring back our feelings about him before other events occur.
