Chapter 22

Questions:
1. Why does Jem cry? Why is he sad?

2. Discuss why does Alexandra called him brother? Are you sometimes calling your brother or your sister, sister or brother?

3. What do you think the big cake was meaning, with Jem?

4. What and why do you think does Bob Ewell say that to Atticus?

Literary Luminary:
Page 212 paragraph 2. I chose this because when Calpurnia called Atticus brother, Scout reacted and I wondered in which way
Page 213 quote, "Tell them I'm very grateful," he said, "tell them...tel them they must never do this again. Times are too hard...." This made mad me wonder why Atticus was so depressed about it he held it in after the case but now e is crying it made me think that maybe Atticus was hoping they knew why he tried as hard as probably would have with any other man.
Page 215 quote"We're so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we've got men like Atticus to go for us." Miss Maudie knows what she's talking about and she has great morals. I like how showed then that they might not have won but they have made a step. it also made me think of how you learn from your mistakes and this book a good example.

Summary:
Jem was crying because of what had happened, and he couldn’t believe that Tom Robinson was guilty. The next day food was given by the black people to Atticus for trying to defend Tom Robinson. Miss Maudie then tells the children that Atticus is not the only one who was trying to help Tom Robinson.

Picture:
Atticus may have defended Tom Robinson and lost his case but it didn't go unappreciated by the black community. Tom Robinson's father sent Atticus chicken and some others sent him a little something on his breakfast table( which all together turned out to be enough for his household) just to show appreciation of what he did for Tom Robinson. Even though Tom was falsely accused and was declared guilty people still gave Atticus their thanks for trying to help.

Chapter 21

Questions:
1. What do we learn about Jem in this chapter?
2. Why is Calpurnia is mad at Jem?
3. Do you think that the Reverend Sykes' advice is good in the real life?
4. How would you feel if you lost a courtcase?

Literary Luminary:
Page 207 paragraph 2. I found this part amusing because Scout is surprised by what's happening and she is really content.
Page 209 quote " Aw, she doesn't know what we're talking about," said Jem. "Scout this is too old for you, ain't it?" This told me that jem tought of him self supirior too Scout now and that he wants to act like it.
Page 209 paragraph 2. This passage tells me that Atticus isn't too worried about the case because he knows that even if he loses that he proved a point.
Page 211 paragraph 3. when scout didn't reaconize why Atticus was walking down the other way it made me think about how often Aticus lost a courtcase.

Summary:

The kids go home with Calpurnia to eat supper. Atticus tells them they can come back when they finish since they have heard everything. They feel happy because they think their dad is going to win the case. After that they come back and they wait for the verdict. When the jury comes back, the verdict is “guilty.” Everyone in Tom Robinson’s side is sad and the people in the upper level wait to thank Atticus and respect him for what he has done.

Picture:
At the end of of this chapter we discover, as a result of the jury's polls, Tom Robinson is found guilty. This was a big of a surprise to Jem, Sout and Dill even though Revrend Sykes warned Jem not to be too confident that They would win the case. This dark parcel is a symbolism of of an unpleasent surprise or an unwanted gift. It is the reality that Tom Robinson has been falsely accused but Jem refuses to accept it.

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.

Chapter 19

Questions:
1. Do you think Tom is telling Atticus the truth? Why or why not?
2. Discuss why does Mayella "jumped" on Tom?
3. How comes that Mayella did not think that her act was going to "beat her up"?
4. Would you choose Atticus to protect you if you were in a court room?

Literary Luminary:
Page 192 paragraph 1. I liked how Scout knew how to tell when weren't lying.
Page194 paragraph 2. This showed me that Mayella was really lonely because it was not really excepted in tat time and to be so willing to do so made it really clear.
Page 196 quote, "Mr. Finch, if you was a nigger like me, you'd be scared too." I like how he's saying that honestly and he is also saying he know he's not treated well and this would be worse.

Summary:

Tom Robinson is last person that is questioned. He told the jury that he went to Mayella’s house many times so he can help her and fix stuff for her. Then he said she tried paying him but he didn’t want any money so she didn’t. After that he said that she wanted to kiss him and he didn’t want to so he tried moving her without any harm so her father sees her and then Tom Robinson runs away so he doesn’t have any trouble. Then he tells Mr. Gilmore that he helps her because he feels sorry for her. Dill after that starts crying because he feels bad for Tom Robinson.

Picture:
Tom Robinson is undergoing a very critical process of cross-examination by Mr Gilmer. Mr Gilmer is very mean according to Scout's point of view in the way he is questioning the defendant Tom Robinson. Dill points out that Atticus didn't treat Mayella that way during her cross-examination. Atticus called "Miss" just to be polite. Both lawyers have thier own way,path, or road. Atticus treats all the defendants that he questions with respect and Mr Gilmer doesn't neccesarily most of the time. These two's behaviours toward their defendants are parallel in court.

Chapter 18

Questions:
1. What do you think really happened?
2. What do you think would happen if Mayella said the truth?
3. Why does Atticus is always repeating the same question?
4. Discuss how Mayella is trying to persuade Atticus into believing her.

Literary Luminary:
Page 182 paragraph 2. The reason why I chose this paragraph is because it made me realize that Mayell was not treated as a lady and that she was used to being talked to like this.
Page 185 paragraph 1. When she is trying to figure out something and she was taking such a long time for it made me think that she was lying about this whole issue.
Page 188 paragraph 2. I chose this passage because she had a serious break down and that mayby she was trying to hide somthing.
Page 189 paragraph 1. I think it was good of Scout to accept Judge Taylor and reconize that he is a good Jugde regardless his behavior.

Summary:
In this chapter people are still questioned. But now it was Mayella’s turn to be questioned about what happened to her. Atticus is now questioning her about who did it. Then Tom Robinson was told by Atticus to stand up so Mayella could see him. Then everyone in the courthouse sees that his left hand is shorter that his right arm. Scout then sees that there is no way he could have done that to Mayella.

Picture:
The scene in the court house with Atticus and Mayella Ewell was very interesting indeed. The way it was played out from Mayella's part was like a drama to me. First of all Mayella is presumably 19 and she acts like a frightened child with no sense at all. She was reluctant to confront Atticus at first so she says that she's scared of Atticus and then she crys. Later on she complains that Atticus is mocking her by calling her "Miss" and that he's trying to trick her like he did her father. Then when ever Atticus corners her and she stops in mid-sentence or doesn't respond she cries or retreats in silence and the Judge lets her for a little while. And then at the very end when she almost admits something about her dad she becomes furious and says mean things to the whole court and then bursts into tears.

Chapter 17

Questions:
1. Explain how Atticus is trying to get to Mr. Ewell and Mr. Tate.
2. Discuss how far people would go to arrest a AA.
3. Look at page 178, last paragraph, discuss how Scout is thinking.
4. Imagine you are in this court and you are Atticus, in what way would you protect Tom?

Literary Luminary:
Page 170 paragraph 3. This paragraph made me think of how the Ewells and the black people wasn't different their environment was pretty much the same.
Page 175 quote "No I mean her physical condition. Did you not think the nature of her warranted meducal attention?" I picked it because i think that Atticus was the first person to pay atenton to this information.
Page 177 paragraph 1. This passage was interesting for me to read because when i read that she said it was a bad idea to ask questions they already knew the answer to, it made me wonder if Atticus was going to to do so.
Page 178 last paragraph. I chose this passage because i agree with Atticus that it might have been Mr. Ewell that hurt Mayella and it just something to thing about.

Summaries:
In the chapter Atticus is asking questions on who rapped Mayella. He first questioned the sheriff since he was one of the first people who saw Mayella after she was raped. Atticus was just trying to prove that Tom Robinson was not the one who raped her. Mayella was beaten really hard, her right eye was bruised. Then Mayella’s father, Bob Ewell was questioned by Atticus, because Atticus thought that Mr. Ewell could have hurt his daughter. Then Atticus realized that there is way he could have hurt her. But then Scout thinks Tom Robinson could have still beaten her because he is a big man.

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.

Chapter 15

Questions:
1. Did you have an idea of what was going on with Atticus?
2. Why did Jem absolutly want to know where Atticus was?
3. Discuss what happened in this chapter. What shocked you?
4. Who is angry at Atticus? Why?
5. Why do you think Atticus took the car, a light, a chair and he sat in front of the jail?

Literary Luminary:
Page 145 paragraph 1. I chose this passage becuase its anpther part of the Maycomb Code and its interesting.
Page 148 paragraph 2. This paragraph was interesting because when I read this it made me think of how sometimes we act peaceful but were really not.

Page 148-149 paragraph 1. This passage was showing me that Atticus is a healthy man and that he is considered of things and that he likes to walk but when he takes a car then somethings not right.
Page 155 paragraph 3. I picked this paragraph because I liked the way how they eneded the chapter.

Picture:
In this chapter Jem, Scout and Dill go out at night to Atticus's office in the courthouse. They barge in expecting the group of men the came to Atticus earlier that day but instead Scout, Jem and Dill were surrounded by a group of strangers(to them). And Atticus was quite firm to ward them. This event reminds me when I had a day off and I went to my mum's work place. I was given a tour of UNESCO but when I wanted to return to my mums office it was filled with people that I had never seen before. Like Scout was in this chapter I felt the same way. Embarassed and akward. The men all stared at her and I got stared at and I wondered what's the matter. I was younger and I didn' understand what was going on, I thought that they were having a chat not a meeting.
