Chapter 14


Questions:
1. Discuss how Scout expresses her feelings?
2. Does this chapter remind you of any real-life experiences?
3. What surprised you in this chapter?
4. What did you think would happen when you read the first page of chapter 14?

Literary Luminary:
Page 136 paragraph 2. This passage was also making me sort of nervous how she is walking aroung wondering what the adults are talking about.
Page 137 paragraph 2. I liked this because of how Aunt Alexandra was angry and that she didn't get her way this time because she is always trying to take control.
Page 141 paragraph 1. I picked this paragraph because it says that Jem has officially broken their childhood rules and told Atticus about about Dill.
Page 114 paragraph 1. This passage caught my attentions because i like the way the author wrote it.


Summary:

Scout heard someone say rape so she had remembered that she had never asked Atticus. Then she told Atticus that Jem and she went to church with Calpurnia. Scout also asked Atticus if she can visit Calpurnia, but Alexandra said no before Atticus replied. Scout then told Calpurnia that she wasn’t asking her, she was asking Atticus and she got in trouble. So then she went and came back to the living room, and heard her aunt talking about Calpurnia, but Atticus said that he can’t do anything because they are used to her. Then when she slept she felt something on the floor so she thought it was a snake. But when Jem checked it was Dill.

Picture:

Scout has had enough of Jem's dominating attitude and strikes back. In this image you can see the victim pouncing on the bully which is ironic. Scout isn't really being bullied but she is retaliating at Jem who is in fact the older kid and Scout manages to punch him and they wrestle for a while. Jem tries to show superiority over Scout by making her feel inferior for example Jem tells Scout to act like a girl when a while before he said the opposite, Jem tells her that she can't even remeber small things because she's too young. In both situations the victim is striking back at the "bully" and it is rather humurous.
