Chapter 16


Questions:
1. What images come to your mind when you think of those Khlan's?
2. Discuss how people are talking about Atticus. Do you this is correct?
3. Try to explain how Atticus feels in this chapter.
4. Who do you think is finally right in this chapter?
5. Scout heard the conversation about her father, think what was going through her mind at this moment?
Literary Luminary:
Page 157 quote, "So it took and eight-year to bring 'em to their senses didn't it?" This was a great example of the voice that true innocence has.
Page 159 quote, "He that cometh in vanity departeth in darkness!" This really shows that some people were really realigious and that almost everything was a sin.
Page 160 paragraph 4. I chose this passage becasue I liked how they described the setting and made it really clear.
Page 164 paragraph 3. This passage was a good example of how based on color people were treated differently. In this paragraph I think it was more that they wanted them to take their seats or that they knerw they had too.

Picture:
When Scout, Jem and Dill needed a seat so Reverend Sykes takes them up to the balconey and four black people got up and gave them their seats. After I had read this part I started to think where I had heard of this before. And then Rosa Parks came to my mind. The situation may not have been the same but a bit similar. Rosa Parks(a black American) was on a bus ride to somewhere and then all of a sudden she had to give up her seat and get off the bus to a white person. She had paid for the bus ride and was not yet at her destination and so she refused. She was arrested for resisting.
But I wonder whether those four black people had to get up as if it was compulsary.
