How Does Miss Caroline Tell The Story In Chapter 4 To Kill A Mockingbird

The intriguing novel, To Kill A Mockingbird is written by the prestigious author Harper Lee. Lee has utilised the lifestyle and attitudes towards ‘African-Americans" in the 1930's to create a novel which presents the reader with Lee's attitudes and values. The dominant reading of the novel is focused on the issues of racial prejudice, but there are also a number of other alternative and oppositional readings. Examples of this are the Marxist and feminist readings which can be applied to the text.

The novel To Kill A Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee is a very interesting novel. This book is mainly about this little hyper, curious, very energetic, girl name Scout Finch. Throughout the novel she was narrating her own story. In the novel it allowed us to see the path Scout went through back then when racism was a huge problem, coming to age, and living in a cruel world. Even though she had many event thrown at her she still stays as energetic as she is. These are some questions that were important to her in chapter 7 to 10.

In chapter 11 Walter didn’t want to work at the garment center. Walter had wanted to be a lawyer at the age nine. Walter would simply memorize a passage and recited it. A coach had asked Walter to come for track his junior year. In chapter 12 Walter missed three weeks of school. Walter lusted three weeks before he stopped going to school again. In chapter 10 the idea of what it meant to be poor changed in the late sixties. Most of Walter life had been divided between school, reading, and ball playing. The second burden of that summer came in the form of Walter grandfather. William Dean was a tall, ramrod-straight man with mannerisms that seemed more appropriate for the nineteenth century than for 1951. After the civil war the former

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, one cannot equate the story to have a sole purpose from the author throughout. Rather the story contains many scenes and passages that have meanings in themselves. In the book, one passage where Harper Lee expresses a clear purpose is where the children meet Dolphus Raymond. The purpose of the passage with Dolphus Raymond was to show the effects that prejudice can have on individuals as well as the community.

Chapter 9: Atticus decides to take on the role of defending Tom Robinson and the town of Maycomb doesn’t take very well to it because Tom is a black male accused of raping a white woman. Scout gets into a fight with the classmate because he says that Scout’s dad is a Negro defender. Scout also gets into a fight with her relative Francis because he is saying the same things about Atticus. Chapter 10:

Have you ever asked yourself, who are the “bad guys” in my life? Maybe it’s the people who make fun of you at school. Maybe it’s the terrorist groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda. But have you ever wondered what it’s like to be those people. They are just following their beliefs and opinions.

And he's very hungry. Dill tells a story about how he escaped from his evil new father and a crazy journey to Maycomb. Scout brings him half a pan of cornbread and a glass of milk. Jem breaks the no-tattling rule of childhood to tell Atticus about Dill which shows his maturity. After Scout has been asleep for a while, she wakes up to find Dill in her in bed.

Chapter 19 begins with Tom Robinson trying to swear on the bible, but with only one good hand the judge tells him not to bother, and Atticus asks Tom some basic questions about his family and age. Following this Atticus asks him about a previous conviction which Tom is very upfront about so as to paint a picture of honesty, so Atticus asks Tom exactly what happened. His story goes something like this: Everyday he walked past the Ewell’s house to get to work and Mayella asked him one day to chop up a piece of furniture, but that was last spring, not in November like Mayella said, and several times since then he had gone into the Ewell yard to do little chores for her. Atticus asks him why he kept doing these things for her if she didn’t pay

Mayella is scared of Atticus and it's her turn to testify. Mayella tells Mr. Gilmer that her father requested for her to cut up an old chiffarobe for kindling. Mayella needed Tom’s help for accomplishing this task and in return she offers to give Tom a nickel.Then Mayella states that Tom took advantage of her when she went to grab the money. Mayella states that she was screaming and tried to fight back. Then Mayella’s father comes and Tom runs away. Then Atticus begins his cross examination of Mayella. We find out that Mayella is nineteen years old and her family acquires relief checks.We also learn that her father is a drunkard. We also learn that Mayella’s mother is dead and she doesn’t have any friends.Atticus also questions Mayella if

In chapter five, Todd and Manchee meet a girl for the first time. Because the novel is written from Todd’s perspective, there isn’t much description about how the girl reacts when she meets them. If I was the girl, I’d probably be extremely freaked out that a stranger and his dog were gawking at me like I was an alien. I’d also wonder why he continuously said he was trying to help me patch up my wound but refuse to put his knife down. If I was the girl, I would feel a lot of apprehension about letting Todd help me. However, throughout the chapter the girl wouldn’t say anything to Todd, but I would probably ask him questions and let him know I’m not an extraterrestrial being. I would hate to be alienated by someone who is most likely the

In this prompt I will be typing is going to be about the book How to kill a mockingbird chapter 2 about what the conflict is between the teacher Miss.Caroline and Scout. So what is the issue between the teacher and student? Why does it seem like the teacher is unpleased with Scout? One key point I can point out is that in chapter 2 when it states “When Miss Caroline concludes that Atticus must have taught Scout to read, she becomes very displeases and makes Scout feel guilty for being educated.” From this quote I pointed out, I could very must see how Miss.Caroline is pointing Scout out in a very poor way and would be trying to put the blame on Scout in a secretive way in her education level. In this summary it talks about when summer ends,

In chapter 9, Tom and Sid are told to go to bed. At exactly ten o'clock, Tom sneaks out of bed and goes to the graveyard with Huck. Tom finds huck with his dead cat, and they go and hide behind some bushes, close to Hoss Williams grave. Tom and Huck see a light in the distance. They thought the light was spirits or ghosts. Then light got closer to Tom and Huck they saw that it was no other than Doctor Robinson accompanied by the town outcasts Injun Joe and drunken Muff Potter. Dr. Robinson told Muff potter and Injun joe to dig up the corpse for the use of medical experiments. After finishing up the job, potter demands extra payments, Robinson disagrees. Injun joe reminds Doctor Robinson of what happened in past years . Injun joe's came to

They see the world around them slowly becoming a darker place, however they can do nothing to change it. This does not stop Scout’s curiosity and her longing to understand, she tries to find simple answers to complicated questions. In chapter one the focus of the three children is centered around Boo Radley.In the beginning they view him as almost a fictional character, which is common for kids their age. As the story progresses we see their view of Boo Radley progress and transform into a more realistic one, this allows readers to see the children’s transformation in how they grow in their mentalities. In the second chapter of the book Scout prepares for her first time at school, and she cannot wait. In this chapter readers can see that Scout is highly intelligent and brutally honest as any child is at that age. She told her teacher in front of the entire class that Walter would not be able to pay her back since he came from a large, poor family. The readers know that Atticus taught her how to read, which highly displeases her teacher Mrs.

Possibly the most distinctive reason for the snow in chapter eight is to separate the book into ‘before’ and ‘after’. The story previous to chapter eight is juvenile and innocent; it depicts the adventures of Scout, Jem, and Dill and sets a basis for the rest of the book. Jem and Scout’s father, Atticus, takes up a court case in which he defends Tom Robinson, a black man accused of rape. Both Scout and Jem become involved in the trial as it progresses, and as a consequence are exposed more fully to the reality of things. They begin to see their father in a new light, particularly Scout, beginning in chapter nine when she realizes that Atticus held a conversation with her Uncle Jack for her benefit, intending for her to ‘eavesdrop’. Another

The story, in the eyes of two innocent children Scout and her brother Jem, of the discrimination and hypocrisy throughout the town. Maycomb County, Alabama, faces an African American’s injustice while the children learn valuable lessons from their father, Atticus and their housemaid Calpurnia, during the Great Depression. All the while, we are learning from it. To Kill a Mockingbird teaches us the lessons of morale, justice and equality.
