To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 2 Dialectical Journal

“Well you better start working on it then because you’re going to do it on stage at the recital whether you can or can’t, hopefully it will look good,” she replied back sternly.

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.

They made their way back to the spot in the forest where everyone was. When they arrived Laurence began with his speech,” Lucas and I have decided that we are going to attack the castle, but we will not kill the king just capture him until he gives up his throne.” Everyone cheered in agreement with his statement. They have trained for weeks, especially Laura, she was taught how to fight and how to use a sword.At first when she began training with Laurence, she almost stabbed him about six times, nevertheless, she still learned and got better. At the end of their practice, Laurence called out to everyone saying,” Rest up, tomorrow is the day where we go to the castle.,”

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

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)

This single quote is the most meaningful passage in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and in turn has a major impact to the content of the novel and to the emotions of the reader.

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.

I lifted my cup of coffee and took a sip of it. My eyes concentrated on the newspaper but in my head, I was thinking of what happened yesterday night. As I looked up to see the clock, my eyes went to Jem’s eyes. His hands were wrapped around his cup of coffee, still untouched. I smiled and remembered what happened.

1. “When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury.”

I WALKED BY Jem’s room and saw Atticus asleep on rusty old a chair. He fell asleep reading The Grey Ghost, as it was still open in his hands like he’s still reading it. The house was soundless, and I saw no rustling of a movement. I walked towards the kitchen as I was rubbing my eyes and, caught me by surprise at six in the morning, I saw that Calpurnia already had cleaned up the house. I wondered why she hasn’t woken anyone up yet.

She slowed her pace and watched as the larger man pushed the blade into the other man who dropped to the ground. She stopped running and became transfixed with the unfolding drama in front of her.

In To Kill a Mockingbird Miss. Maudie had a fire and Atticus saved the oak rocking chair that she valued very much. If my house was to ever caught on fire there would be things that I would love to save. I would love to save my phone and computer. I would save them because I contact people and my computer is worth a lot of money. My phone and computer are both easy to grab because they are by my bedside. Next I would grab my blue pillow I have had since preschool. This pillow has a lot of meaning for me and would be a great memory of the house if it did burn completely. To keep me and my family warm I would grab my blanket that is the size of my bed. This blanket would be easy access because it is on the floor near my window. This blanket would

“It helps if you lick it. Now, give me your tongue. It won’t bite,” Min-jun said with playful innocence.

Obeying, Okori raised her club, but every time she lashed out at him, he’d move out of the way and counter with a blow of his own. The bruises his club left showed immediately. Tears swam in her eyes. Still, he forced her to continue, forced her to endure miss after miss, to absorb blow after blow.

It was more beautiful than any of us had imagined, and the general shouted for joy saying he never expected to find Ange here. However, the general changed when he touched it. It was as if he had seen an image or an idea, that could change the situation that we were in at the time. We were weak, sick, and hungry from the change of regions, and we noticed that this sword could possibly revitalize us with its powers and be a sacrifice to get General Reficul back inside the Kingdom. This sword was our only chance. It was our only hope, so we had to stick to our
