To Kill A Mockingbird

Today we will look at the study questions from yesterday and begin chapter 8.  At the end of chapter 8 you need to do the following:

1) Outline the plot so far
2) List one theme and write 2-3 scenes from the book that fit that theme
3) Make a list of people Scout fits
4) Make a list of lessons Scout has learned so far

and answer the following:

• Why does Scout quiz Atticus about his visit to the Radley house? How much does Atticus tell her?
• What is the “near libel” which Jem puts in the front yard? How do Miss Maudie and Atticus react to it?
• Why does Atticus save Miss Maudie's oak rocking chair?
• When Atticus asks Scout about the blanket around her shoulders, what does Jem realize?
• Explain what Atticus means by telling Jem not to let his discovery “inspire ” him to “further glory”? Is there any reason why Jem might now do as his father says?
