Today, my group discussed the following questions.
- In chapter 9, we are introduced to the controversial case Atticus has been given. Who is he representing? What has this person been charged with? How does the town feel about Atticus taking this case? What does this reveal about the time period?
- he is representing a young black man named tom Robinson
- he is charged of raping an Ewwels daughter
- Atticus knows that this case is impossible but takes it because he is moral courageous, and wants to lead by example for his kids
- The town is strongly opposed and the kids get harassed bc of it
- this reveals an inherent racism in the town and how strongly they feel about black people common for this time
- What is the significance of the scene with the dog? What does this scene reveal about Atticus and how the kids view their father?
- Atticus is the character that introduces the title explaining that his father told him it was “a sin to kill a mockingbird.” What do you think this means? Why might Harper Lee use this for her title?
- How has the kids’ perception of Boo Radley changed?
- Now that scout and Jem are preoccupied with more important and stressful things than seeing Boo's face like defending their dad's schoolyard honor
- after fire scout is still disgusted by the idea of boo touching her but I think has warmed slightly over time to the him
- Other questions?
- Why is rabies seasonal?
- How is it Transmitted
