Epps - English II

My first impression for Dill being under the bed was a little sickening because who lays under someone's bed until they get noticed or they show themselves.

My first impression of Dill hiding under scouts bed was kind of creeped out.

At first I thought he was creeping.

My first thought was it was pretty funny. I found it funny because I did the same thing at a football camp, but it was for a different reason.

My first impression of Dill being under the bed was that is was a snake or some sort of insect. I wasn't expecting for it to be Dill

I thought that it was extremely odd of dill to do this because of his open nature in the past with the finch family.

My first impression was that it was a little bit creepy that he was hiding under her bed.

When Dill was under Scouts bed, my first thought was surprised. I was also confused on how Dill got in to Scouts house. We later find out that Dill ran away from home and did not know where to go. I was also confused on why they thought at first it was a snake, because a person is a lot bigger than a snake. on pg(139) Scout step on something in the dark and then when they turned on the light it was not there, so they thought it was a snake.

I was creeped out. Who would expect someone hiding under their bed. If i were to have that happen, or think i'd hear something i wouldn't stay around to find out what it is. But in the book, they stay around to figure out what the noise is.

My first impression of Dill being under Scouts bed was very interesting. It was interesting why he hid under the bed when he knew the Flinch family very well. Also, I think he did it to be more dramatic because Dill is known to portray things worse than they really are. 

When I read that Dill was under scouts Bed, I had mixed feelings toward that. First I was surprised/confused on why Dill was under the bed. Then as I read, I figured out why he was under Scouts bed (He ran away from home).  

My first impression when dill was under scouts bed was that he spent the whole summer stalking scout. At first thought that there was actually a snake under scouts bed, but after reading the chapter I realized it was dill. when I figured out that it was dill I thought he was stalking the children. I didn't think that dill was there because his parents weren't treating him nicely, but that's what was happening. I thought he was stalking them originally because he didn't just knock on the door, he hid under the bed. I think this scared scout and if it was anyone other than dill under her bed she probably would have tried beating them because she gets rough like that.

I love how all you guys pretty much have the same answer! He's a creeper!

I think that Dill hiding under Scout was really weird and stupid because Dill caused Scout to get scared and she had to go get Jem

I thought it was a surprise since we hadn't heard from Dill in a while but I thought it was showing his favoring and trust in Scout over Jem because he chose to stay under her bed

I wasn't expecting it to be Dill at all. At first my thought was just a critter under there, but when I found out it was pretty humorous. 

My first impression of Dill being under Scouts bed was that is very awkward. It was awkward because Dill was already a weirdo to start and then he goes above and beyond. By going into someone's housed and hides under there bed. 

I thought Dill was being a creeper and under her bed because he was crushing on her and wanted to watch or something like that

My first reaction when dill was under the bed of scout was, that I thought was a very stealthy mood and wanted obtain information. Also I believe that Dill has a love affair with Scout. Elaborating more on why Dill wanted to obtain information, Atticus and Scout were discussing a very dynamic conversation about the Uncle jack fight and desired to know more about that. Some more information as to why Dill has a love affair with scout. Dill has been a friend with scout for the longest time. And now after he has been under scouts bed. He wants that to change.

My first impression was it was a little creepy that Dill was just laying under Scout's bed without saying anything. Just kind of laying there and listening.

It was quiet scary because I thought something happened to him, or something happened to his family. 

My First Impression was that dill was going to kill scout. I don't know why I thought this but at the time I didn't know it was dill and I thought it was a murderer.

I thought he was a creep trying to do something to her when she went to bed. I then I realized he moved far away and wasn't coming back till summer, but then I thought maybe something append. 

My response to Dill under Scouts bed I was very shocked because they didn't know what was under the bed personally I thought it was a snake . Then when they said it was Dill I was wondering why was he under there . Until Dill gave his explanation .

My first impression of Dill under scouts bed was that's a little weird.

My first impression of Dill under Scout bed was that is was Boo Radley instead of Dill. I thought that maybe Boo would have tried to talk to the kids and snuck into the house. It was a little relieving when it was actually Dill, but it was also a little confusing because out of all the places he could have gone to he went straight to under Scouts bed.

The characters have changed in more ways then one. One way is Scout is becoming less violent. Meanwhile Jem is wanting to spend less time with her sister and has been maturing.

Well They've all gotten older. This especially shows in Jem since he is currently going through puberty. Scout has definitely shown signs of maturity and can better control herself.

Most of them, I believe, have changed a good amount since the beginning. First, in a way Scout has learned how to fight with her words and not physically. Also, Jem has become older and more wise, and now they call him Mr. Jem.

Jem has become more of an adult figure and Scout has matured a lot and hasn't been fighting all the time anymore.

Every person in this book it maturing, Scout is more liking of Africans that people are yelling at her for liking them.

From what i can remember, in the beginning of the book everyone was changing constantly. Sometimes they would do things they might not do later in the book. They, in a way, became more dynamic opposed to static.

The characters have changed a lot since the beginning of the book. in More then just one way. I think that they have grown up and are not as immature as they were before.

The only character that changed is Jem and that is because his is a boy getting older trying to get into sports and stuff. Not those kiddy things.

The character have changed a lot. All the characters have matured and became better or worst as characters.

The characters have changed in many different ways. Scout is starting to become less violent. Jem is maturing and isn't wanting to spend much time with his sister because he feels that since she is a girl she wouldn't want to do things with her.

i think that the characters have changed a good bit except for scout she pretty much stayed the same

I believe that Robinson will be found guilty and sentenced to death. I believe this because the tittle of the book relates to the belief that killing a mocking bird is a sin which foreshadows the outcome the of the trial.

I think the outcome of the trial will be that Tom Robinson will be convicted and put to death. I also think that since everyone already thinks that he will be convicted will give him a greater chance of it.

I believe the outcome will turn out Tom Robinson being guilty no matter what happens or proof that they have linking to him to make him innocent. I believe the only reason he'll really be guilty is because he's black. 

Even though most of the evidence shows that Tom Robinson is innocent, I think the outcome of the trial will still be the jury saying that he is guilty purely because he is black. This may upset the people that have to do with Tom and Atticus but it won't change the way the town feels about blacks and the town won't want to change it's reputation just to save this one black man. "You haven't even seen this town, but all you gotta do is step right back inside the courthouse" (Lee 201). Mr. Raymond was talking to Scout about things that go on in the town and he was trying to get her to see that Tom probably won't win the trial.

I believe that Tom Robinson will be found guilty. I believe that because most whites were racist and would not defend a black man.

I thought they would set him free and the people who accused him would get arrested.

I believe the outcome of the trial was made apparent when the case first appeared; Tom Robinson will be found guilty. It was Tom vs. a bunch of angry, racist white men, the winner was clear. Yes, they're was a few people in Tom's favor, but it wasn't enough to make a big enough impact the stubborn, angry, opinionated men's' opinions.  

I believe Robinson will be found guilty based on the title of the novel and being that he is African American and most of the town is racist I don't think he has a good chance of winning.

I think the trial will have an outcome of Tom Robinson losing. First, in the Scottsboro the black people lost and if the trial in to Kill a Mockingbird is the same as the other case they should have the outcome. Also, the case is taking place in Alabama where there is bias against blacks, so the case is already tilted towards Mr. Ewell side.

I think Tom Robinson and Atticus lost the trial against Mayella and her dad, because Tom is black.

I think they will find Tom Robinson guilty because he is black and there was a lot of racism in Maycomb I don't think he stands a chance.

I think Boo means good because of the ways he has been treating the kids and looking after them.

I think Boo Radley means good but with all the rumors going around he can't afford to leave his home and be seen by anyone.

I think boo is a good person and people just make up stories about him because they never see him.

I think he is someone completely different. Everyone probably just doesn't like him. I could see him being some one really nice.

I think Boo Radley is not the man that he appears in the stories that are spread around Maycomb. I believe that his real intention is to repair his reputation in Maycomb. I believe  he is trying to become friends with Jem and Scout because I think Boo knows that they are the children of Atticus who is not as judging and hateful as we have seen through others in the book. I think that Boo feels if he can become friends with Jem and Scout, they will help him in repairing his reputation.

I think Boo has good intentions, people like to gossip and that is what is keeping the story going. I think this will be a lesson such as not judging a book but it's cover. Something along those lines.

I I think Boo Radey is a good person, the small town just has spread so many rumors about him because he doesn't really socialize with anyone.

I think his intentions are good because he is taking care of the kids and watching out, ex. the tree & patching the cloths

I think Boo has good intentions, he just comes off "creepy" to the neighborhood. I think he wants nothing more than to just watch over the kids.

I think boo is not how everyone makes him out to be. I think he is actually a nice guy he is just very lonely because he has no friends and has been in the house for so many years. I think hat boo wants to come outside with the children he is just afraid too because everyone makes him out to be such a bad person. I think that when Jem got his pants ripped off and stuck to the fence that Boo was the person who knitted them back up for Scout so that he wouldn't get in trouble with Atticus.

I think Boo Radley is misjudged by alot of people. All they know about him is the rumors and stories people have about him. I think Boo is just like a neighborhood watch. Only, instead of multiple people watching, he is the only one. He doesn't do anything to the people of Maycomb, so what is he hurting?

I believe that Boo Radley's intentions are to protect kids and watch out for them. His reputations are all pretty much rumors and false and I believe that is the reason that he stays inside. I think Boo is someone totally different because he just wants the kids to be protected because he cares for other people unlike others in the town.

I believe that Boo Radley is someone totally different than what he is made out to be. I think that he has good intentions mainly to show people what he really is to fix his reputation and. Also I believe he will turn out to be a Protagonist in the book and help in some good way. Finally I believe that he will become friends with some of the people in Macomb.

I think boo means good for the most part. Some people may just give off a bad name for him.

I believe that Boo Radley is a better person than what people make him out to be. If he does anything , it would be something good.

I do not believe that Boo Radley will live up to the reputation that people have against him. I think he will start to come out of his house more and more. People will start to realize that once he does come out more and start interacting with people, they will start to realize that he isn't a bad person and the rumors about him might not be true.

i think the dude just got a bad reputation and it stuck with him but what i dont get is why he stays in the house all day when hes like 40 years old

I believe that when Boo Radley is sticking the stuff in the knot hole in the tree he is trying to be friendly and reach out to someone without having to confront them directly because he is so secluded and isn't used to people but still wants to be friends with Jem and Scout as he watched them grow up. "why do you reckon Boo Radley's never run off" Dill asked Scout "Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to...." (page 144) He might not be so happy where he is but he has nowhere to go so he deals with what he has and stays away from the people who would judge him.

I think Boo will be a totally different character because people change, especially when you are locked up in your house all day long.

The book said that the trial is an all white jury and they will mostly find him gulty. The town seems very rasist in my opinion

I think the trial against Tom Robinson will be biased because most of the people in Maycomb all feel and think the same. There are very little people who are open minded and won't just decide based on their own personal beliefs.

I think that the trial will be biased due to Maycomb being a small town because everyone knows what everyone does and what their options are. So some people might feel pressured to respond in a certain way because they know that is how other people are going to respond.  

With a small town comes a lack of diverse ideas and the jury is all white. Because of this I believe the town will have a biased opinion about the trial

I do think that the trial will be bias due to not only being a small town, but a segregated southern town. Not often did trials towards African Americans result in the correct decision, but the decision against them. Also, the way Atticus talks about the case makes it seem that a bias opinion is almost definite.

I think the trial will be biased because Maycomb is such a small town everyone talks and has the same opinions. Also, The jury is all white men, so they will most likely say that Tom Robinson is guilty. Back then everyone was racist towards black people, and that is how Maycomb is so the trial will be biased.

I think the trial will be bias because the town is small and they all stand up for one another.

I think that the trial will be biased. Maycomb is a small town, and I think they are very prejudice against African Americans. All of the people are against Atticus defending Tom Robinson for the trial, and they say very rude things about him. Another thing that will make the trial biased, is there is an all white jury. Atticus already says that he thinks Tom Robinson has no chance of winning the case because of all of these circumstances. In the book Atticus says, "It couldn't be worse, Jack. The only thing we've got is a black man's word against the Ewells'. The evidence boils down to you-did--I-didn't. The jury couldn't possibly possibly be expected to take Tom Robinson's word against the Ewells'..."

I think the trial for Tom Robinson will be very biased. I do think that the size of Maycomb will contribute to how biased the trial will be. Mainly because the judge could be influenced by some of his friends ideas. The main reason I feel the Trial will be Biased is because of the time period. A lot of people at this time are still racist, in fact the only white adult character that is not racist is Atticus in the book. Even the N word is common in this time

Yes, the jury is white. Plus Maycomb is so quick to label everyone, such as Ewells and Boo. 

Yes, I think Maycomb will be biased about the trail because it seems already that they are biased about Atticus job. They are also biased about what you believe in like the foot washers.

I think it will be biased considering the small town and the time period and how people view things back then.

I think that they will be biased because most of the town is racist and they will find him guilty even if hes innocent.

With an all white jury and most of Maycomb being very biased against the blacks it will most likely be a very biased trial.

I do think the trial will be biased, but not due to that fact it is a small town as much as the time period and the jury is white.

I think that the trial will be very biased because people seem to like to gossip and form strong opinions in Maycomb. Plus the jury is an all white jury and that's never a good thing when you look back in history.

I think the trial will be biased due to the all white male jury. I think it will be the main siding of the final decision.

I think the case between Tom Robinson will be biased because most of the people in the town of Maycomb are white and im pretty sure that most or all of the jury will be white farmers or well known people of Maycomb that dislike blacks,

I do believe that the trial will be biased because its a small town. The majority of people there are either white or racist.

I think the trail will be very biased due to the fact that its a small town and the majority of the people are against the blacks. The all white jury will favor poor, innocent white girl. They believe blacks should be punished to keep them in line.

Yes, because in the book it talks about there are very few new people who move to Maycomb so no new ideas are brought to the town. This helps to keep the idea that blacks are lower than whites stay strong.

Yes, I think the trial will be bias.  I think this because it is a small town and because it's a black being accused of raping a white and people automatically think the black person is guilty.

I would keep doing what she is doing, because I believe you should stand up for what you believe in even if your the only one.

If I were Scout I would do exactly what she is doing. She fights for her family (Atticus) and what she believes in. Also, she doesn't let other people's opinions bother or change her.

I would be a lot like Scout because I have a temper and I do not like when people talk bad about my family. It offends me because they don't know your family and the situation.

I would stay the person that scout is now. The reason I say that is because Scout knows what she wants and she knows how to stand up for in order to get what she oh so desires. Also because Scout is a great person and is so unique for the way she acts in the time period she lives in.

If I were Scout living in that time period I would have a hard time keeping my mouth shut about all the aggression towards the blacks the injustice being made. Atticus Finch raising his daughter a certain way head strong and very concerned about people thought and feelings.

I would time travel to 2017.  There is less racism now...though as evidenced in the current news, there is plenty with Ferguson and what happened with the choking in NYC.

Because almost everyone in the town hates black people because of the time period. For someone to defend a black person in that time in the south was uncommon.

This time period involved a lot of segregation, so defending a black man was not something most people had the guts to do when Atticus defended him.

At the time the was a lot of discrimination in many towns between different races. In Maycomb many people dislike black people. When Atticus stepped up to defend a black person people would generally not like someone preforming this action.

I think that the students make fun of Scout and Jem for Atticus defending a black man because that's what their family's tell them and they are only repeating what they heard. And there opinions most likely reflect their parents opinions.

In that time period being racist towards blacks is the normal thing to do, so Atticus is being made fun of because he is doing something different. People think that because Atticus is defending the black man he is a nigger-lover, and by default, Scout is one too.

The other students made fun of Scout for her dad defending a black man in court because at the time people were racists towards black people. They made fun of Scout by saying that her dad was "nigger-lover". They also said that he shouldn't be defending a black man and that he was a disgrace to the family.

Other students made fun of Scout for Atticus defending a black man because back in that time period most people did not like black people, so standing up for a black man was very uncommon. A lot of people were racist towards black people so that's why they made fun of scout. 

I think other students made fun of Scout because they didn't understand Atticus and his personality. Also I feel that Atticus owed Tom Robinson and that is why he represented him.

I think they make fun of Scout and Atticus because in that period of time people were against blacks and whites agreeing, talking, or doing anything together. But, mostly I believe it's because it's out of the "normal" and people aren't use to it. Also the kids are just hearing what their parents say.

I think the students make fun of scout and Jem because at the time everyone was racist if you weren't like them you were different and unlike.

They made fun of them because in that time period there was still racism so, for a white man to be defending a black man was look down upon. Since, Scout and Jem are Atticus children they are also, affected by this and will be looked down upon

I believe that the other students make fun of scout when they say that Atticus defends black People because the town is racist and I believe that the town is full of biased people. 

Everybody in the town doesn't respect black people, so for Scout's dad to be defending a black person is unheard of.

The students made fun of scout for Atticus defending a black man because back in that time period whites and blacks weren't supposed to be friends or even associate or anything. So the kids at school think that Atticus is a black lover since he is defending Tom Robinson. They don't like that and I guess since Atticus is Scouts dad then that gives the kids an easy target to mess with Scout. I don't think its fair that Scout is getting picked on because of the decisions that her dad makes. But I think it kind of makes scout the person she is. I say that because she doesn't really care what anyone thinks about her and she doesn't let what they say about her hurt her feelings. So I think by Atticus defending the black people it made scout a stronger person.

They make fun of him because back then, people were very discriminate towards colored people. So when people heard that Scout's father defended a black man, they felt that was wrong and decided that she should get hated on for it. 

They made of him because during that time period it was not normal and usually frowned upon to defend a black man either as a lawyer or in general. Also it was not only other students but even adults such as Mrs. Dubose making fun and shouting extremely vulgar and racist comments such as, "nigger lovers" and "trash" (102). 

I think the reason for the students making fun of Scout at school for Atticus defending a black man is because most of the children in the town were raised by there parents to treat blacks as almost nothing and have no respect for them. So they taunt Scott and make fun of her for it because it was the way the were raised.

Because most little kids beliefs are determined by what they hear from there parents. At this time racism and prejudice were huge and they thought blacks were "wrong". The kids would then think that they are weird for defending Tom. 

I think in 1930s, everyone hated black people even young children. Therefore, Scout's friends looked Scout and her dad weirdly.

thay made fun of scout because there a bunch of backwards country people that are racist and have no toleration for things or people that are different

Probably, because the children thought helping black people is not normal. Therefore, Scout's friends thought Scout and his dad, Atticus, are weird and not normal people.

They made fun of Scout because it was found to be wrong for defending black people because everyone was racist but Atticus wanted to help.

I think Dill didn't know where else to go, and didn't want to go to his aunt's because she may send him back to his mother. Dill likes Scout and he probably felt most comfortable around her then anyone else.

Dill had to escape from the way his father is treating him. He feels the most comfortable around Scout because they knew each other for a while and he feels safe with her. Dill hid under Scout's bed because he felt it was a safe place to be.

I thought dill was under scouts bed cause he wanted to talk to her.

Dill didn't know where else to go and he is "in love" with scout so it probably sounded like the best idea at the time.

I  think Dill hid under scouts bed because he knew she was a good friend to him. I also think Dill didn't know where else to go because everyone else would have sent him back home right away.

Atticus choose to work on the case. The town people are mad at Atticus because he doesn't share their opinion. They think that if they cant hurt Atticus that they should hurt the kids.

The town's people hold Atticus's job against the kids because the people are close minded, very judgmental and quick to assume. Most people don't agree with Atticus defending Tom, so they take it out on Jem and Scout.

The town's people hold it against the kids for the same reason they think that all Ewells are bad people or the Radley's are crazy. They judge people based on their relatives not the people themselves. Aunt Alexandria said something about each family always being the same in every generation

The kids were held responsible because they are the children of Atticus and the towns people probably think that they look up to Atticus. Also Atticus is raising them. This could cause the small beliefs and the towns people don't want that.

Because his mom re married.

He felt unwanted because his mother remarried. Since, she remarried he felt neglected and decided to leave.

Dill felt un-needed because he says his family never makes time for him. His mom remarried and he has a new father. He says they always tell him they love him, but they never seem to pay any attention to him. They buy him lots of things, but they tell him to go play by himself. He explained that they are gone all the time, and when they are home they go off in a room by themselves. He says, "...they just wasn't interested in me."

His mom re-married which caused Dill to get pushed out I the picture, he felt left out.

Dill felt un-needed for many reasons. One reason was because his mom had re-married. Another reason is because they never paid any attention to him and just got him toys to keep him occupied. Finally his mom and stepdad moved away from Macomb and all his friends so where they were living now he had no friends at all so he was lonely.

Dill feels unneeded because his mother re married and he doesn't particularly like his new step dad. He thinks that his mom and new step dad would do better without him as he states in this quote, "The thing is,  What im tryin' to say is--they do get on a lot better without me, I cant help them any. They aint mean. They buy me everything I want, buts its now-you've-got-it-go-play-with-it. You've got a roomful of things. I-got-you-that-book-so-go-read-it"(143). dill feels like he is being bought and from personal experience its not a great feeling. Money and material things can not fill the place of a parents love.

The dog had to die because he had rabies. Atticus was told to shoot because, everybody in the family knew that Atticus could shoot and jem was upset because he didn't know.

The had to die because it had rabies and they were afraid of the dog possibly hurting the people. They called Atticus because he is known to be an extremely good shot around the small town of Maycomb.

The dog had to die because they all thought that he had gone mad. They killed him because they though that he was a danger and was going to attack the people. They called Atticus over to kill the dog because he is a really good shooter and has really good aim. When he was a kid his nickname was "Ol' One-Shot".

The dog had to die because it had rabies and they are highly contagious. They towns people didn't want to get hurt. They called Atticus because he is the best shot in Maycomb and there was no one thought he would miss. 

They had to kill it because it had rabies. They used to call Atticus One Shot.

Scout was surprised that Dill was thinking about a baby at such a young age.  

The dog was rabid and Atticus was called on because he is the best shot in Maycomb.

The dog was sick and could have hurt someone. Also they called Atticus because he is such a good shooter and they know that he could pull off the shot.

The dog had to die because it was infected with Rabies. It was a danger to everyone around so they called upon Atticus to put the dog down. The reason they called Atticus is because he was the best shot in Maycomb when he was younger.

The dog had to die because it was rabid. They called Atticus to shoot the dog because Atticus is a great shoot and knows how to handle a gun. They call him 'one-shot Finch'. "'You haven't forgotten much, Mr. Finch. They say it never leaves you.' Atticus was silent. 'Atticus?' said Jem. 'Yes?' 'Nothin' 'I saw that, One-shot Finch!'". The fact that Atticus was such a good shoot surprised the children because that had been previously unknown to them.

The dog had to die because it was rabid. They called Atticus to shoot the dog because Atticus is a great shoot and knows how to handle a gun. They call him 'one-shot Finch'. "'You haven't forgotten much, Mr. Finch. They say it never leaves you.' Atticus was silent. 'Atticus?' said Jem. 'Yes?' 'Nothin' 'I saw that, One-shot Finch!'". The fact that Atticus was such a good shoot surprised the children because that had been previously unknown to them.

I felt very awkward and surprised at the end of chapter 14 when Dill told Scout that he wanted a baby.   

When Dill told Scout that he wanted to have a baby I was really shocked because she is only twelve years old and she should not have kids when she is only twelve. I was also surprised because why would he want to have a kid at this young of age.  

That was surprising and came out of no where knowing that dill is only 12 and wants a baby because hes really young and most people don't have a baby until they are at least married.

Jem was trying to tell Scout what to do and Scout got mad at him

I think Dill lied because he was scared of getting in trouble. He was afraid of being sent back to his parents and not being able to stay with Scout and Jem

I think that Dill lies about how he got to MayComb because he wanted to impress Scout in how he came there.

I think that Dill wanted to make it seem worse than it actually was. He wanted them to think that it was worse and get them to give him sympathy. 

I think Scout is told this because she wears overalls and at that time it was lady like to wear a dress.

Scout gets called unlady like because of what she wears and the way she talks.

She is told that she is unlady like because she doesn't wear dresses and plays in the dirt.  She acts like a tom boy because that's what she's always done, and that's what she's comfortable doing.  Jem is who she played with when she was littler.

Scout is told that she is unladylike because she does many things that are uncharacteristic for a lady of that time period. She dresses in overalls and plays outside, she is what nowadays we would call a tomboy.

Scout gets told that she is unlady-like because she doesn't wear dresses and act very girly. She would rather wear her overalls and play games with Jem. She is more of a tomboy, and that's what she likes to do. Aunt Alexandra thinks this is because she doesn't have a mother. Aunt Alexandra stays with them because she thinks they need a "feminine influence", and that Scout is the way she is because she doesn't have a mother.

Because Scout is always playing and being around boys.So what she wears and how she acts you can tell how is she.Likek she wears overalls a lot not dresses like other girls.

Her aunt thinks she's unlady like because she doesn't wear any dresses, she wears overalls.

Most of us can agree that Aunt Alexandra and Scout have two very different ideals of being a lady. Aunt Alexandra claims that Scout is "unlady-like" because Scout's behavior doesn't align with her vision of what being a lady is about: wearing a dress instead of overalls, proper manners, etc. Scout doesn't exactly see how these are supposed to apply to a gender.

Scout gets called unladylike because the clothes she wears, isn't what the other girls wear and she looks more to be tomboy instead of a proper lady. So the people, at the time, judged almost everything if it wasn't to their liking. Aunt Alexandria even tells Scout, " ...when I said I could nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants." Meaning, that Aunt Alexandria basically states that Scout not wear pants and doesn't like a lady by wearing a dress, or some article of clothing that is considered "ladylike"

Aunt Alexandra tells Scout that she is unladylike because of the clothes she wears and how she acts. I don't think this is Scout's fault though, she has grown up without a mother or a mother figure in the house to teach her how to be ladylike. She spends all her time with boys, but mostly Jem and Dill. "Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants. Aunt Alexandra's vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea sets, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me when I was born..." (Lee 81). Because Scout doesn't do these things, she is often called unladylike by her Aunt.

I believe Tom Robinson will be found guilty mainly because the jury would be majority white and peoples hatered to black people will cause injustice.

I do think that Tom Robinson will be guilty due to the ethnicity of himself. I think that given where he lives, a small segregated town in the south, he will not have a fighting chance. Also, I think that Atticus will try extremely hard to prove that he is not guilty which could possibly have a negative outcome towards Atticus.

I think that he will be found guilty because he is a black man and people are very racists towards black people. I think that the jury will not believe what Tom Robinson is saying because of his race. No matter how hard Atticus tries I don't think he will be able to change people's prejudices. I think that the trial will be very unfair and bias.

I think that he will be found guilty because of the racism and segregation that went on during the time period and Atticus knows he has a bad shot at wining the case

I think that Tom Robinson will be found guilty because the majority of Maycomb is very racist and biased. Also the jury will be racist and biased and pressured by the rest of the town to find Tom Robinson guilty.

I believe that Tom Robinson will be found guilty because in the south in the 1930's whites didn't like the blacks. White people would say that a black man committed a crime even if they didn't have any proof that he did it. 

In chapter 9 Scout has heard a lot of people talking about how Atticus is defending a negro and Atticus wants her to know that there is nothing to worry about and there is nothing wrong with defending a negro.

• I think scout feels shocked that he would want a baby at such a young age.

I think Scout felt uncomfortable and probably made her wonder why he was telling her and why he wanted a baby so young.

I think Scout would feel shocked because they are kids and they would not think about that until they are adults.

Because he had no where else to go.

she wants them to see  that they have a way their suppose to be and atticus isn't going the way they have been going.

I think he went under scouts bed because she is one of his only friends in Maycomb and appears to be more of a sister to him then a friend. And he most likely feels the safest or most cared for when hes around her. Possibly something he doesn't feel back at home.

I think Dill was under Scout's bed for many reasons, one being that Scout is pretty much his only friend, two is that Scout and Dill are the best of friends and feel comfortable around each other, three is I don't think Dill gets a lot of attention or love at home so he doesn't want to be somewhere where he feels he doesn't belong.

I believe Dill was under the bed because Scout is the only friend he has and  they are best friends. Also I think Scout is the only person Dill trust and actually likes in the town of Maycomb. 

I think he was sad cause he knew how to shoot, but atticus wouldn't let him.

Because Uncle Jack kept scouts promise, and did not tell Atticus what happened. (Ethan Ratz)

I would have reacted shocked and crept out at the same time. He was suppose to be with his mom out of town but he was laying under the bed instead. I would have wondered how long this has been going on and what was going on. 

If I would have found Dill under my bed I would ask him how long he was there and if he needed anything like food or water, depending on how long he had been there. Then I would keep him there in secret because there was a reason why he ran away.

The trail probably very badly for the man since almost everyone in the town hates black people.

The trial will definitely be suspenseful, but being the day and time this book is set it will be a tough call. Overall, I think the court will take the white mans side because that's just how it was in that time. The black mans word was nothing. Atticus however, will have every proof and evidence that Tom is innocent and it might be a huge debate and close call.

I think he knows everyone is scared of him and against him in some type of way. I think he does because no one is ever around.

I think boo doesn't come out during the day because maybe he is unable to talk because he has a speech impediment.  Also I think he comes out at night so he doesn't have to interact with people

I think he comes out at night cause maybe hes brother wont let him go iytside at night but aince hes brother is alseep he goes outside at night

If Boo comes out in the day time everybody would probably stay inside because they would be afraid  of him. If he comes out at night then he wouldn't have to worry so much about people seeing him and them being scared of him. If he comes out in the day time the word might get around that he comes out then people might be out to get him.

I believe that he doesn't come out because he's afraid of how people may treat him for his past.

Yes, I think he'll start to have his own mind and way of thinking, but I think he'll turn out like his dad for the better. As he grows he will become more independent and protective of Scout. I think he's going to have a very positive change in the book overall.

I personally do not think that Jem will develop as a character because he is a static character.

I believe that Jem will grow as a character. I think Jem will grow and become more of a parent for Scout. I believe that he will grow as a parent for Scout because he takes care of his little sister, they are always together and they do almost everything together.

I think it bothered Jem because he wanted to learn from his dad but he didn't want to teach Jem which probably hurt Jem because it would be like a bonding experience but Atticus didn't want to.

I think Jem was mad because as stated in the book, Atticus is a lot older than the fathers of the other kids. This means that he can't play football with Jem and do to other things that boys do with their fathers. Jem thought Atticus wasn't cool because all he does is read and Jem didn't think he had any special talents. When Jem learned that Atticus could shoot, he felt left out that Atticus had never told him.

i believe boo sewed the pants back together because of wear they were left and, also boo watches over the kids and woulda known it was there pants, and he wanted to do a nice thing for them, so yea. 

I think she just has a bad temper and never learned to control it.  she also may just get protective of Jem or Atticus.

I do agree with the punishment that jem received it was wrong for him to do what he did.

Yes, It was a necessary punishment because even though Mrs. Dubose was being extremely rude Jem should not have snapped. The punishment of having to read to Mrs. Dubose was necessary because some form of punishment is necessary and was a mild thing to have to do.

I do think the punishment was necessary because what Jem did was pretty bad and in the end he did do a good thing because it kept her off her addiction

I agree with the punishment Jem got for destroying Mrs.Duboses yard because there was no reason for him to do that. It was nice that he read to her before she died it gave her company and it taught him to respect his elders.

I believe that was the right punishment for Jem, since Atticus even told him not to get angry or anything at her. He deserved it because of the way he acted and he learned from it in the end.

To keep Boo Radley from being able to communicate with Jem and Scout.

Nathan Radley plugged the hole after Jem and Scout wrote Boo a letter because he doesn't want him to have contact with other people. Nathan thinks that he needs to be kept away from society because of what he did to their father.  Nathan is still mad about what happened so ne keeps them locked up.

Because He probably figured out that boo radley was putting stuff the kids in the tree. as a result of him doing that he fill up the tree with cement so boo could no longer fill the tree with gifts.

I think he found out Boo was putting stuff in there so he is trying to stop Boo from giving all of his stuff away and scarring the kids.

I think he plugged the tree because he didn't want Scout and Jem to keep exchanging things with Boo.

I think it is because Nathan Radley might just want to protect the town from its self because of a old rumor that most people might believe.

They may have a little concern but otherwise they seem very irresponsible and not very loving. That could also contribute to why Dill ran away in the first place. He probably doesn't get much attention or at least as much as someone his age probably should.

I think she keeps them longer and longer ever day because she wants to teach him a lesson.

I think Mrs. Dubose holds them longer each day because she is addicted to morphine and needs support.

I think that Mrs.Dubose holds Jem and Scout longer every day because she wants to she them while she can and she wanted to get to know them better because she was starting to care about them.

I was very shocked because she's very judgmental and to know her past she shouldn't be judging anyone. She was an addict so, at the same time I could see why she has so much anger built up.

Jem matures during the story as she gets to know more about Maycomb County and realizes the world is very different then she could ever picture . She also matures during the story as she is around Calpurnia more and starts to realize what African - Americans go through during the 1930's and the racism that is happening during that time .

I think that he thinks its not lady like for a girl to be swearing. And how she is stil a kid.

Jem and Scount never seen Atticus shoot anything and they didn't believe that he could. When they seen him shoot the dog they then believed that he could and what they heard was real.

I would probably freak out not knowing who is under my bed but if I ended up knowing who it was, I would be less concerned.

Calpurnia obsess over the kids Sunday dress because she wants them to fit in with here church and what them to be respectful in here community.

I wouldn't have cared if Calpurnia took my children to church. It wouldn't have bothered me because Atticus isn't considered racist. So, taking my children to an African  American church it would give them more of an idea on how African Americans took religion.

Atticus did not want to protect Tom Robinson at this case, someone in the jury pointed him out he then started protecting him because he had to defend him, but also supported black people.

Atticus was one of the few people who had some sort of respect for the Nigroes, so in having to represent Tom, Atticus wasn't ashamed like most other lawyers would have been.

Atticus decided to defend Tom Robinson because he had to if he wanted to be a respectful lawyer. Atticus says '' If i didn't take the case I couldn't hold my head up in this town''. Atticus says this because he would be shamed by Cal and all the African-American friends that he has. Atticus would feel so guilty that he would have to leave Maycomb County, and that is something that he definatly doesn't want to do.

I think he chose Atticus to defend Tom Robinson because of his backround. Everyone knows that he is well educated and that he's a good lawyer as well. Also, to see how Atticus will handle this controversial case and if he will succeed.

I believe he was chosen because he is more wise than others and also sees past any ignorance. He is very intelligent and is willing to defend Tom because he notices the lies by the woman and bob, and how they're racist and just wanna put away more blacks.

Mrs. Dubose was not sick, she was a morphine addict. Atticus explained that by saying "Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict" and "She took it as a pain killer for years. The doctor put her on it.."

I think Aunt Alexandria came to live with them so Scout could learn to be more of a lady.

I think Aunt Alexandria came to live with the Finches because she wanted to turn Scout into more of a lady. Aunt Alexandria says "We decided that it would be best for you to have some feminine influence"(127). Aunt Alexandria thought it would be best for Scout if she came and lived with them so Scout could learn to be a lady through her.

The box containing the flower sparked rage in Jem because he felt like Mr. Dubose was constantly pestering him about the flowers, even after she died. ""Old hell-devil, old hell-devil!" he screamed, flinging it down. "Why can't she leave me alone?"". Jem said this when he received the box, and this quote explains why he was angry.
