Chapter 8/9

CHAPTER 8/9

There has been a lot of character change throughout the book so far about Boo Radley. At the beginning of the novel he came off as deadly and dangerous from what the town folk would say. But now we are starting to see the better side of him. When Jem got is pants stuck in the fence and left them behind, he went back to fetch them and he saw that they were all sewn up as if someone were expecting him. Scout came to notice how there was a blanket around her shoulders during the fire on her block, she was so zoned out on everything she didn’t see anyone put it on her. She said she felt Jem put his arm around her, and I'm guessing that, that wasn’t Jem it was the blanket being put around her. The catching on fire was very unpredictable, it wrecked the natural order of things in the town because the children couldn’t play in the front yard anymore and Miss Maudie had to go live with Miss. Stephanie for a while.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

CHAPTER 6/7

CHAPTER 6/7

Between any two people you can see similarities, even if it isn’t completely abrupt, something will be there. Miss. Maudie and Atticus do have similarities but they are not very easy to recognize.  You can see that they both care for things with all their hearts, and they will protect those things with their lives. Miss Maudie and Atticus both understand right from wrong a lot different from the rest of the town, they believe everyone is equal, no matter the color of their skin. 

In the novel you can see the coexistence of good and evil with Boo Radley at the begging of the story he came off as a very evil and dangerous man, but was i read through i started to understand his character a lot more and he ended up not being evil at all. The things he did for the children shows that he wasn’t ever an bad guy, he cared for them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

CHAPTER 4/5

CHAPTER 4/5

All children are very curious, and it gets them into plenty of trouble most often than not. Scout, Jem, and Dill get very anxious over their theory about Boo Radley. They want to make sure that everything they hear from the town folk is true. Boo makes several non-abrupt appearances in the novel you really have to understand what you are reading. His first appearance occurs when Jem was angry with Scout and pushed her tire she was in as hard as he could into the Radley yard, in the background Scout thought to have heard someone laughing, we can’t be sure it was Boo but there is a fine chance. The second occurrence was when Scout seemed to have seen someone moving the shutters in the window. After the children told Miss. Maudie about their adventures with Boo Radley she seemed very defensive over what they said, and it makes me wonder whether or not she may have a history with the man, maybe they went to school together. It’s also says that her character is very non-believing about rumours in the town and she doesn’t ever listen to any of them, she’s not a talker.

CHAPTER 2/3

CHAPTER 2/3

Both Walter and Burris are children in Maycomb who are less fortunate than the rest. In Maycomb you can determine someone’s personality just by their last name. By knowing your last night the county knows exactly the kind of person you are.

This chapter mostly talks about Scouts first day of grade 1, her teacher wasn’t very nice to her and Scout was only speaking her opinion. If I was her if would not have taken the rudeness the teacher was giving her. The teacher thought she was the smartest person is the world and she felt very conscious of her position as a teacher.  For Scout to be more progressed in her reading and writing she was punished, when in our time you would be rewarded, not penalized.

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1

The purpose of chapter one is to give you some insight and background information of the story, it helps you understand what perspective the story is coming from and who the story telling really is. The novel you can see is from first person, and little girl named Scout is telling her experience with life. The background information is really crucial to the plot of a story without it you would not be able to understand why everything is happening nothing would make sense. I think it is very important to give good insight on who the characters are and the relations between them and the other characters.
