Chapter 20

Questions:
1. Discuss how does Atticus build up his speech in front of the jury?
2. Discuss why does Mr. Dolphus Raymond make people think that he is drunk?
3. Would you be like Dill if you were at the courtroom? Why or why not?
4. How do you think Scout is going to learn about Maycomb by going back in the courtroom?

Literary Luminary:
Page 201 paragraph 1. I was surprised that even Scout hought that the ideea of mixing children was bad and that she still wondered why he told her.
Page 202 paragraph 4. This made me wonder why Atticus was doing this in court.
Page 204 quote, "She was white...down on her afterwards." I picked this because it made think of when simply kiss one person who is not the same as you that you get into so much trouble and want to lie.

Summary:

A man named Mr. Dolphus Raymond is married a black women and always makes his self look drunk even though he drinks coca cola in his paper sack that he carries around. He talkes to Dill and Scout and tells them how cruel people can sometimes be. Scout finds out that Mr. Dolphus is a nice and good man. When they go back to the courthouse they find Atticus still finishing his statement, and then Jem is certain that they are going to win the case.

Picture:
Toward the end of this chapter Atticus is giving an important speech, that is almost like preaching, to the entire courthouse. I found it very symbolic because Atticus looked similar to some kind of priest or prophet preaching the truth to his fellow civilians who were largely blinded by prejudice. I could compare Atticus's speech to other things like a president's speech, someone promoting civil rights etc. Both Atticus and his speech symbolise direct , courage and integrity.
