Chapter 23

Question:
1. Have your parents ever wanted that you shouldn't be friends with someone?
2. Discuss why does the jury said that Tom was guilty even if he wasn't?
3. Do you think Scout cares about Jem growing up and acting more mature?
4. Together try to agree if there are only four different groups?

Summary:
Atticus was talking to the kids about the courthouse. He said that he never thought that he would win the case. It was hard for a black man to win back then. Then Atticus said that a relative of Walter Cunningham sat on Tom Robinson’s jury. Scout was a little surprised because of what Walter did at the jail house the night before.

Literary Luminary:
Page 220 quote, " Then go up to Montgomery and change the law." I chose this because it showed me that the kids didn't truly undestand rules and that they were still innocent.
Page 220 paragraph 1 sentence, 'He said the other thingabout them was, once you earned your respect they were for you tooth and nail.'
Page 225 quote," I'll tell you why,"she said. "Because...he...is...trash...." I chose this becasue i tell me that Aunt Alexandra is very prejudiced and that she has a very tolerance level.
Page 227 quote, "That's what thought, too.......it's because he wants to stay inside." This told me that Jem really did do some growing up. Before he would try to get Boo radley to camr out but he undrstands why he stays in.

Picture:
At the end of the chapter Scout and Jem try to categorize the different people in Maycomb. Jem puts them in 4 groups; ordinary people, the Cunninghams, the Ewells and the negroes. But Scout points out that all folks really are the same but they don't get along and Jem used to wonder why. Then Jem remembers Boo Radley and says he doesn't go outside because he'd rather stay inside. Like this man in this cave who seeks refuge from the outside "dangers".
