Chapter 7

Questions:
1. Why is Scout still so eager to learn about reading and writing ?
2. How would you feel if somebody is hiding a secret for a long time? Would you have the same reaction as Scout?
3. After reading the last paragraph, page 61, why do you think the author write, "[...]said Jem carefully[...]"?
4. After what Atticus said about the tree, why did Mr. Radley Junior say that his tree was dying?
5.Can you explain Atticus' reaction about the tree?

Literary Luminary:
Page 57 paragraph 1. I chose this passage because she says that she been trying to do what Atticus told her to do, but she's also respecting Jem and not pushing him. Page 59 paragraph 4. I picked this paragraph because I enjoyed the way how the author described the seasons change. Page 61 paragraph 2. This passage kind of told that the watch was something important in the family especially to Jem. Page 63 last paragraph. This passage makes me wonder about what happend that night when Jem went to get his pants. Why was he crying?

Picture:
The knot-whole in which Jem and Scout find all these goodies is symbolism of a treasure chest. They kept finding someone elses treasure in there without thinking what could happen if they were caught. The cool thing was it kept filling up again the next time that they passed it. When they finaly want to thank the anonymous person who was giving them all this stuuf the next morning the hole gets filled in. That was unfortunate for Jem and Scout.
