- Why does Aunt Alexandra come to stay with Atticus and his family? What is she like? How does she view herself in comparison to the family? How does she view the “Finch Family” in comparison to Calpurnia and other folks from Maycomb?
- Why did Dill run away? What can we infer about Dill’s life based on Scout’s retelling of events? In other words, can we trust the narrator to tell us the “true” story? How does Scout’s naive perspective shape Dill’s story, the story of Boo Radley, and Jem’s story?
- What was (and is) the Ku Klux Klan? What do you think of Atticus's comment “The Ku Klux's gone. It'll never come back"?
- Why was the mob at the jail? Why was Atticus at the jail? What stopped the mob from following through with their goal?
- Other questions or observations? Consider the analyzing through a literary len to deepen your analysis. If you finish with time, note important points in your digital notebooks.
