To Kill A Mocking Bird Journal Entry

This was it, a week before halloween, and I’m going to a haunted house with my friends.

1)From the rusty window of the second floor, my eyes could easily spot her lying in the lush, green grass. Her small body stretches like a snake. The sun’s rays gently touch her bright yellow-orange fur. Her expression is as calm as the one of a sleeping baby. Once the sun starts to annoy her, she walks into the shadows of the walls and continues her sleeping beauty routine.

I, Chapter 24, am obviously the most significant. The others were hardly competition, however, 19 did give me quite the run for my money. I won because I show the message behind the story most clearly. Racism is undeniably present in this town, unfortunately, and my job was to show just how prevalent it is. I believe that I did quite the fine job in passages like this one, “‘Tom’s dead’ Aunt Alexandra put her hands to her mouth. ‘They shot him,’ said Atticus” (Lee 239). Because of the town’s racism, Tom would have never been given a fair chance, therefore, he gave up and was then shot 17 times. If that doesn’t show the town’s usual disease, this passage does, “The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked White Only;

This word is quite important to this set of chapters. As said above, Nathan Radley filled in a knot-hole with cement, severing the children’s ties with Arthur Radley. This particularly hurt Scout, who began to cry, as they would not be able to get his gifts or communicate. Jem is able to calm Scout down after this, but later on in the day is seen crying. Perhaps Jem knows something about the knot-hole that Scout doesn’t because he is older, or maybe this is a forewarning to Nathan targeting them. Scout also said in the book that she didn’t hear him crying, so Nathan could have called him over and threatened him. In similarity, in chapter 5, Scout pesters Jem into not making fun of the Radley’s life. She was strong like cement when it hardens.

After Jem, Dill and I almost got shot on the Radley’s porch. Jem got stuck at the fence. His pants seemed to be stuck on one of the wires. He had no choice but to kick off his pants if he didn’t want to get caught. We all knew if we didn’t get to where all the neighbors where standing they would have of suspected us. So we ran over to where they were. Mr. Nathan was standing inside his gate with a shotgun. Atticus was standing beside Miss Maudie and Miss Stephanie Crawford. It was getting dark so we all had to go back in our houses and go to bed. I heard a squeak from Jem’s bed. “Jem, what are you doing”. “I am going back to the fence to get my pant before someone else finds them” Jem stated. I knew there was no use in arguing because it would

Jem and Scout do think differently in this section. You see the different thinking from the way each of the kids handling the outcome of the trial. When each of them share their opinion on what kind of folks there are it reveals the divide. The divide we see in the chapter is that Jem is understanding about how things work in the town that Scout can not yet comprehend. For example Jem is able to understand that segregation played a huge role in the outcome of the trial as Scout see's it as just a lost case. You can tell because Jem will not stop thinking about it, and he continues to ask Atticus questions ,realizing there is more than just "folks" and there are good people and bad people living in this world. Jem becomes aware of the fact that

True or False. Many times students have trouble differentiating between the author of a story and the narrator. This is most likely the case with the stories that are based on the truth, but are not the whole truth.

For my page I am going to review some topics of this novel that I loved, and for others that I didn’t, I will give some of my own ideas. I loved when the good guys stood up for themselves. Good guys tend to be more passive because that is what the most correct thing to do is, but when good guys like Atticus, Mr. Diaz, and Reverend Sykes stood up for people with somewhat of aggression it gives you that nice tingly feeling that I love to have when I’m reading a story. Good guys are never getting full out revenge on a horrible person because they don’t have it in them but what they always do is way better because that horrible person is made to feel horrible about himself. That is all I really loved about the story other than the other

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and I am on page 36. So far this book is about the odd Radley family. Jem and Scout has started school, and Dill left to Meridian. We have met Ms. Caroline and the Ewells. Scout already knows how to read and is amazing at it, but Ms. Caroline told her stop being taught to read by Atticus. In this journal I will be predicting why the kids won’t meet Boo and I will evaluate the Ewell family.

‘ It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird a major theme is the loss of innocence. Whether from emotional abuse, racial prejudice or learning, Boo, Tom, and Scout all lose their innocence in one sense or another. The prejudice that each character endures leads to their loss.
