Literary Luminary:
Page 75 paragraph 1. I chose this paragraph because I actually found it kind of amusing how she's still trying to avoid school
Page 85 paragraph 2. This passage showed that Scout was angry and that this is how she felt because no one would listen to her.
Page 87 paragraph 1. I picked this passage because It sort of tells that Uncle Jack is trying to avoids things instead of interpreting them in a different way.
Page 89 paragraph 1. This paragraph is saying that Scout can trust Uncle Jack but also she wonders how Atticus could have seen her. It made me think if he knew all along but just not say anything because he wanted her to know.

Picture: At school Scout is teased and mocked because her dad, Atticus, defended a black person. She almost gets into a fight in school but she restrains herself for Atticus's sake. He told her that it was childish to fight with fists and she should fight with her head instead.
Because of this she is called a coward for backing down from a fight. In this picture an orange figure(Scout) is distant and standing alone from a group of blue figures(Cecil Jacobs, Francis and everyone else who beleives Atticus is a disgrace at Scout's school). A picture like this was the first thing that caught my mind when I thought of this event and it is hard to just brush away insults on someone you have the highest degree of respect for. And at the same time that person wants you not to retaliate at all. I think that this is really sad and hopeless and it is similar to bullying but just that it was acceptable to these kids and pretty much everyone apart from the Finchs.
