To Kill A Mockingbird Dialectical Journal

20. The new treasures the children found in the knot-hole was a ball of gray twine, dolls made out of soap, a pack of new chewing gum, a tarnished medal, and a pocket watch on a chain with an aluminum knife. Scout thinks it’s Miss Maudie leaving the treasures.

3. My whole family knew a philippic from my grandmother was brewing as soon as her breath started to shorten.

When reading To Kill To A Mockingbird many charterers walked in someone else's shoes which is a big theme of the book. Scout was one of these charters she walked in Boo Radley’s shoes. At the end of the book, she walked Arthur home and she sees the whole book from his perspective. She sees two children running down the sidewalk and in the winter two kids shivering in the cold. In the book, Scout also walked in Walter Jr.’s shoes. Calpurnia talked to Scout after Walter was eating a different way than they do and Scout pointed that out and embarrassed Walter. She started to see through his perceptive. She realized that they eat that way because they were raised like that and that it is not his fault. Atticus was another charter that had

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.

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.

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

1. Truth: “As Mr. Radley passed by, Boo drove the scissors into his parent’s leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities.” (Ch.1 p.13)

Everyone else was gettin’ their lunches but I didn’t have none. That teacher Miss Caroline was gonna give me a few cents to go downtown and get somethin’ but I got nothin’ to pay her back. I politely shook my head. I’d never take anythin’ I couldn’t pay back. A girl in the classroom walked towards me. “Walter can’t talk, Miss Caroline. And he’s a Cunningham. They won’t take anythin’ they can’t give back,” “Scout. Who are you to tell me what other people are thinking? If he wants to tell me somethin’ than I’ll hear it from him.” I was afraid. I didn’t know what Miss Caroline was gonna do to me or to the girl. Miss Caroline had pulled the girl with her. I could tell the girl was in great fear.

A bunch of characters in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird affect other characters. Each character is affected differently. Scout affects a bunch of characters. On page 46, Scout brings out the good in Dill. What I mean by this is that Scout and Dill are really close friends and Dill says he is going to marry Scout. This also affects Scout. Dill says he is going to marry Scout makes her feels joyful. On that page it says “He had asked me earlier in the summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it. He staked me out, marked as his property, said I was the only girl he would ever love,then he neglected me.” Dill started to neglect Scout by hanging out with Jem more yes that upset

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 36. This book is about the Finch family, which consists of the main character Scout, her older brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus. Every summer, their friend Dill visits Jem and Scout. The family’s cook, Calpurnia, spends time watching the children. The story takes place during the Great Depression, in a small town in Maycomb, Alabama. So far, the children are fascinated with their recluse neighbor, Boo Radley. They are trying to make him come out of his house. In this journal, I am predicting and evaluating.

* Scout’s moral development throughout To Kill a Mockingbird has to do with how she is taught to see “the other”, her exposure to racism and injustice, and that she had Atticus as a parent to guide her through her childhood. These factors together create a stable learning environment for Scout to grow and develop in.

For example, ¨His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. ´It ain't right,´ he muttered... ¨(Pg 284.) This quote gives an idea on what Jem is thinking about the case through the tone of the chapter and you can see Jem was trying to piece together why Tom and Atticus lost the case. Scout did not really know anything about the trial except that Jem and Atticus wanted Tom to win, Jem in that case was on his own.

The reader watches as Jem slowly grows up, and learns what it means to stand for what's right. Being slightly older and wiser than Scout it is clear to the reader almost right off the bat that Jem is more knowledgeable than Scout when it comes to Maycomb county´s values. In Chapter eight after finding out that Mr.

Jem on the other hand is a different story. Throughout the book both Jem and Scout lacked the knowledge of racism in the setting they were in. That all changed for them during the trial of Tom Robinson. This change mainly affected Jem more than Scout did. Jem being the older sibling started to understand and started to scorn the people of Maycomb of the acts and thoughts they had against Tom because of his skin color.

Atticus lets Jem and Scout be individuals. He lets them embrace who they are and have them not deny their true self, and let others not interfere with their personality. Atticus teaches Jem and Scout things they don't understand. In chapter three, Atticus teaches Scout to not judge people on how they do things and to get along no matter what their background is. That she should understand people and respect them.
