Chapter 26




Questions:
1. Discuss how does Scout sees people.
2. Why do you think Scout wants to see Boo Radley so badly?
3. Scout seems to talk easily about the courthouse, while Jem is mad when we talk about it, why?
4. Why are the Radleys so aggressive to people?

Literary Luminary:
Page 243 pararaph 3. I admire how Scout thinks about how people are and how she doesn't get them so she stays away from them because she doesn't want to get them. I like how she chooses not to be part of that.
Page 245 quote, "Equal rights for all, special privileges for none." This to me is not true. The definition is true, America is basically a democracy but their racism back then didn't make that sentence completly true.
Page 245 paragraph 1. This was screaming hypocrite. The way how Miss Gates knew about prejudice but doesn't seem to realize that it's not only Germany and that Germany and America are not that different at all.
Page 247 last paragraph. How Atticus says that Jem will truly get over in time just made me think if this was another stage he was going through.

Summary:
Jem and Scout go back to school, Jem is in the 7th grade and Scout is in the 3rd. Scout stills wants to see Boo Radley before she dies, but Atticus tells her don’t because she can get killed. Miss Gates talks about Hitler and his persecution to Jews. Then she goes to Jem and talks to him about Miss Gates, and mentions the courthouse. Jem tells her to never mention it again and he becomes mad at her. So then Scout becomes upset and then goes to Atticus and sits with him.
Picture:
Cecil Jacobs reads out to his classmates a current event About Hitler taking advantage of the Jews and persecuting them. Miss Gates tells the class that Germany has a dictatorship while America has a Democracy and she explains the difference between the two. She adds how Jews contribute to every society that they live in and how they are very religious and Hitler doesn't like them for that. But even in Maycomb the same thing happens even though there is supposed to be a democracy blacks are treated very differently from the whites. And it breaks down to the same two issues: prejudice and racism.
