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

Summary: This book is told by a 6 year old girl that lives in Maycomb. The other two main characters in the story are, Jem, who is her older brother, and Dill, and Miss Rachel Haverford’s is his aunt.and a guy named boo is a bad guy that has a well respected family.and all of the kids were talk about boo.And the radleys that are a weird family that boo is a part of.the kids don't like the radleys so they dared jem to go hit the house and run back.

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.

It was said when Scout was telling about Maycomb County, and how everything was struggling to get by, and money was so tight.

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)

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

When Attic us was walking down the aisle past the crowds of people Reverend Sykes tells Scout to stand up because of her father walking by as the Negroes were doing all around her and on another balcony. (PG. 283)

He started to catch up to me, and eventually picked me up again. “Let me go you d*ck.” “Can you stop screaming for two minutes and let me explain.” “You need water and food before you go on a long journey.” You don’t get it do you huh. I started to tear up realizing that if I try and attack him again, I was not going to get anywhere. His forehead was getting redder and redder each time I looked at him. “My nephew is all alone with my friends and they have no way to defend themselves at our camp. I need to be back there. I can not leave

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.

When adolescents like Holden cannot find an “adolescence zone” in the real world, they would conjure one in imagination. A pivotal moment of the novel is in the midsection, which resonates with the meaning of the novels title. When his sister Phoebe asks what would make him happy, Holden describes to her an imagined picture, which is worth quoting at length:

* 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.

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.

“It takes a village to raise a child”, is an African Proverb. In other words, it can take more than just a child’s nuclear family to make her grow into who she will be as an adult. This lens is true because even though parents and siblings have a major effect on a child, and how they turn out later on in life, society and a child’s surrounding are what really shapes, and makes them who they are. What a child sees when he or she is new to the world, and doesn’t know everything, effects their behavior, and outlook on their life ahead. This lens is illustrated in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by
