What do you think of Atticus's reaction to Bob Ewell's challenge? Should he have ignored Bob, retaliated or done something else? I feel like he acted like the bigger man by just walking away.
What is “circumstantial evidence”? What has it got to do with Tom's conviction?
What does Atticus tell Scout about why the jury took so long to convict Tom? He said that there was one person that was hard to wear down on voting guilty.
Why does Aunt Alexandra accept that the Cunninghams may be good but are not “our kind of folks”?
She fees like her family is proud and noble and not like the other non honest families.
Do you think that people should mix only with others of the same social class? Are class-divisions good or bad for societies? No i feel that every one is entitled to same rights as others, i feel like they are good in certain places that have problems with crime.
At the end of this chapter, Jem forms a new theory about why Boo Radley has never left his house in years. What is this? How likely is it to be true, in your opinion? He feels like he is chained to his bed. I feel like this is false because that would be hard for him to put the blanket on them during the fire scene

chp 22
Although Atticus did not want his children in court, he defends Jem's right to know what has happened. Explain, in your own words, Atticus's reasons for this. (Look at the speech beginning, “This is their home, sister”. He was most likely trying to show them the truth and cruelness of the town they live in and that some things arnt as pretty as they should be.
Miss Maudie tells Jem that “things are never as bad as they seem”. What reasons does she give for this view?The fact that even though they failed the court case he still gets to eat cake for at least trying.
Why does Dill say that he will be a clown when he grows up? Do you think he would keep this ambition for long? Its so he can laugh at people, but it probably wont last long since that is what clowns arnt suppose to do.
This story is set in the 1930s but was published in 1960. Have attitudes to racism remained the same (in the USA and the UK) or have there been any changes (for the better or worse) since then, in your view? I feel like there are less racist joke that have been used to insult or hurt people, even though some countries still hurt racial people in some places its used as comedy.
Why does Bob Ewell feel so angry with Atticus? Do you think his threat is a real one, and how might he try to “get” Atticus? Probably for making his family go through that embarresment and cruelty. He probably will try to go after his family or get the comunity after him

Summary of the court trial
The case started with Mr. Heck Tate saying how he calls Tom Robinson to the stand. He said how he called no one to help him when he saw his daughter supposedly, beaten and raped. His version was he Mr. Ewell came in and told him about his daughters problem and sped off to quickly stop it. He did say He saw Tom for a minute before he ran off like a coward. After that he just said that Tom used his hand to beat up her right when it actually was his left.
When it came to Mayella she only cried and acted mean towards Atticus. She only repeated that he helped her split the chifferobe when he later got behind her, choked her, then had his way with her. After that She only remembers him beating her then running away. Atticus managed to catch her mistake when he made her repeat it and give out more info than before.
Lastly was Tom Robinson his self. He said that hes been walking back and fourth from there house to get to work for years. He's had conversation with Mayella and that involved helping her do some chores. Soon enough he starts helping her dailey and with out payment. The last time he tried to help her though he ended up going into her house and Mayella trying to have her way with him. Being nice he stops her but then runs from hearing the shouts of Mr. Ewell saying he'll kill Mayella.

Mayellas and tom Robisons summarization
Mayela sounds rash and a little bit hateful towards the blacks, especially Atticus. She tells the court about the repeated factors like a broken recorder, saying how she was hit and beaten then raped. As Atticus is being polite like he always is to her and the other questioned, it seems like Mayella is taking insult to it or like he's mocking her. She seems to be putting off that she's being forced into telling her side of the story by some one else when Atticus notices a flaw in what happened. After that she falls silent not saying any more and just cries to get out of her situation like she's gaining pity or sorrow from the judge and listeners. Her home life seems to be revolved around being the mom of the siblings since she was the only one besides the father to learn and finish school.
We will read chapter 19 and 20 today. I want you to record Tom Robinson's testimony, and your reaction to it, on your blogs for homework. How is Tom Robinson like a mockingbird?
Tom Robinson said that he has been walking past the Ewells house for as long as he can remember in order to get to and from work. He has occasionally talked to Mayella but never for long amounts of time. Soon he started to work for her with his first chore being to split a chiferobe. After doing that he rejected her money and soon started doing even more jobs from her. One day though she soon invited him into her house where she soon tried o have her way with him. Tom was attempting to stop her but soon Mr. Ewell saw them and broke it up, then Tom ran away.
Tom is like a Mocking bird because as a one just sings its heart out to others and doesn't cause any trouble, Tom just helps out others for free. He's never caused any trouble besides his one crime and doesn't ask for anything in return.

Scout says that “Atticus was feeble”. Do you think that this is her view as she tells the story or her view when she was younger? Does she still think this after the events recorded in this chapter? This is her view when she was younger because soon afterwards people tell her and she notices that he can and was able to do things when he was young.

Chapter 14 and 15
- Comment on Atticus's explanation of rape. How suitable is this as an answer to Scout.

Homework for next week: Read Act 5 and write a 1-sentence headline for each scene (note - there are very few scenes in Act 5).
First it starts with juliet wanting to kill herself and asking for a plan on how to get out of his marriage. While paris is trying to cheer Juliet up about the marriage being good. Friar Laurence feeling sorry for Juliet tells her the idea that she will fake her death by drinking a poison, then waking up in a tomb where Romeo will be waiting and then they'll run off to Mantua.
Juliet ends up doubting the plan after begging for forgiveness from her father who finally forgave her. She then after thinking about how happy she'll be drinks the vial and goes to sleep.
Nurse ends up screaming as she realizes the next morning that juliet's dead. Lord Capulet soon changes the wedding and everything into a funeral and feast.
During the marradge Capulet and the friar starts fighting about not celebrating or singing to her death.

Objective: Students will be able to explain the meaning of the Lark and Nightingale metaphors/symbols in Act III.
Today we will discuss the Lark and the Nightingale symbols; why Lord Capulet decides to marry Juliet to Paris; why the nurse tells Juliet to marry Paris (and how this reinforces a dramatic foil).
Your group will then outline everything that happened in Act III.
Then - in groups - you will write a 2-3 sentences about the meaning of the Lark and Nightingale and how this relates to Romeo and Juliet.
First there is trouble between the Montigues and Capulets when a fight broke out between Tybalt and Mercutio. As the fight started Romeo kept on trying to break it up because he didn't want to kill his secret step brother. In a final attempt to stop the fight, but instead ends up letting Tybalt's sword killing Mercution. Out of rage Romeo then fights Tybalt and kills him also. As Romeo flees the scene the Prince and capulet show up. Out rage the prince banishes Romeo from Verona.
Now Romeo is hiding from Prince in Friar Laurence's cellar. In confusion Romeo is sitting down balling, and the Friar is trying to think of a way to help him out. Finally having a plan the friar has decided to announce the secret marriage to both families while Romeo is gone. For now Romeo is off to spend the night with Juliet.
As romeo leaves the next morning Lord Capulet Announced to Juliet that she will be marying the prince, but she refuses to. Out raged Capulet then forces her to the next day.
The nightengale refers to the moon and darkness in which Juliet is continually trying to tell romeo that its still out so the two of them can still be together. The Lark is the sun and Romeo is sad but has to leave when it appears forcing him to ditch Juliet. Both are opposites of each other almost how Juliet and Romeo are acting in the scene.

"Join us today at Eharmony.com where we can find the perfect match for you."
When you hear these words you soon start to think that love is possible if you match the same info and hobbies as others. What about those who do match up? Even if they are to meet, would they soon love each other instantly? Or would one small annoyance or habit set the date in flames? I think that there is no true love at first sight, even for the luckiest, hottest, or saddest person out there. If you want to meet someone, the man or woman has to make the move. I believe in this fact due to one character who I saw in the movie Hitch. In this movie, instead of denying the fact that he will never find the one, the main character gets off his butt and goes to find someone whether it's in a bar or on a website. After setting others up with matches, he soon finds someone who he loves. Then he finally takes the risk on commiting all the way with her, and ends up living a pleasant life with her.
So I guess what I'm saying is that you could wait around and pray to God that someone will come along. Or you can get up, meet with different people, and possibly get rejected after have the worst date ever; but if you take the time and interest, maybe you'll find that one person.

narrator 1st person
Pages 1-10: The young jew Maimodes is looking for master. while the book is talking about a man who seems to be sad but pleasant master that made himself invisible from disrupting others or burdening them with his presence. the book is also mentioning and introducing the jewish town of Sighet. Maimodes is talking about his genourouse father who cares more about the town than his family. The father is one of the leaders and he hardly shows any sign of emotion.there town seems to be a few miles away from the war that is happening because the army is starting to warn therm that they may have to leave there homes.
Pages 11-20
now it apears that Maimodes family and the whole town in fact has been asked or forced to leave there nice town. the war appears to be moving near them so they are forced to pack up at small valubles they want and leave. the jews are still in shock that they are leaving at such a late time to be placed in a ghetto. Maimodes family might have a chance at not leaving but they still had to pack up and throw out there stuff in case they were next on going to the ghetto. it turns out that there family is now next and the family is suppose to march quetly and fast to a safer place while the hungarian police escort them
Pages 20-30
As Elli, his family and over 80 jews make it to a safe place, they are soon immediately forced into a compressed train cart. During the first few hours it was quiet and every one was sitting silently. soon people started to flirt with each other for the only means of happiness. during the ride the delirious madam Schafter who kept on hinting towards the always scared of fire. it soon took the other passengers in the cart to beat and tie her up to keep her quiet. After reaching the town of Auschwitz every one was dehydrated and starving, with out there memories or jewelry's to keep. Upon arrival every one was immediately take by officers and split into two groups separating the men and women. it seems that the german police here are trying to save and hid some jews by changing there age and letting them avoid a horrible death.
Pages 30-40
Elli has now been separated from his mom and sister. He now is with his dad and a few other unlucky men that have all been given new ages. Now after being examined by some troops, they have now been sent to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. After being separated into occupation categories the jews are now all sent to work. it Appears that through out the orientation of the camp that Elli has a burning unbelievable rage inside him from all thats happened. Soon after his father went up to a gypsie to ask were the bathroom is but instead ended up being beaten senseless. it seems that these troops were here to use them as slaves in exchange for not killing them.
Pages 40-50
It seems that Ellie has now been moved to a more merciful concentration camp. His pleads were heard and was able to stay moderately close to his father. Though the guards there are nice, they will not laziness or slacking off for jobs they were assigned or there will be punishments. in the end though the last of his Jewish memories were taken away after his gold tooth was pulled out and his shoes were replaced and not bargained with. Though Elie is Jewish it looks like he's starting to question or believe a tiny bit in god for mercy and hope that he will not die.
Pages 50-60
Its been a few weeks since Ellie has arrived at the camp and now is working to get small rations to fill in his boned skin. The leaders or Idek seems to be the worse of the officers at the camp. To save his but and show fear to Elli he whipped him for seeing his self with a half nude Polish girl. It seems that the american forces or opposing enemy has started marching and getting further into German territory, since bombs went off one night at the camp.
Pages 70-80
Elli and the whole camp seem to dwindle in there faith to god. Akimbo has gave up all life he had and offered his neck to the execution. Elli seems to be more worried about his father since he thought that they would die. The condition and weather of the camp seems to be becoming worse then hell. its consistently having blizzards and ice winds that is tearing through the poor clothing and skin of the campers. lastly Elli is now in the hospital and has just had an operation on is frozen swollen leg. it appears the operation was a success and he has avoided the chopping block for now.
Pages 80-90
All the jews are now on the move leaving there concentration camp to go and find shelter far away. With the icy cold wind in front and the thought of being trampled to death by many other prisoners behind, Elie could only continue running on nearly no energy with his father. They finally made it to an abandon factory that was in poor, cold condition. If any of the Jews were to fall asleep on the freezing cold snow it would mean that they're sacrificing there lives to death. Many people are dead and the numbers just keep dropping and soon it will just be Ellie and his father.
Pages 90-100
Though he is passed out and not moving Ellie will not give up the fact that his father may soon pass away. He now is in a great panic to show the other troops that he is not dead yet. Now them and a fast depleting amount of jews are heading off in a train to the middle of Germany. during the ride Elli relives the savagery weak people have when there last source of hope is in between them all. It seems that more and more people are giving up on living and soon Chlomo's friend Meir Katz might be next. As Elli put it there is a contagion of death that is spreading across the carts. They now have arrived in Buchenwald, now only time will tell what will happn
Pages 101-109
Elli's father was in the final stages of Death there was no more hope, help, or miracle that could deny his inevitable demise. The bunk mates that were next to Chlomo soon started beating him and taking his rations of food, but still there was nothing that could be done to help him no matter how much he pleaded. Ellie was soon given advice from a guard to think for him self, instead of the lost father. Elli despite the fact it was true still couldn't think about it. the next day Chlomo was dead; he was taken late in the morning to the incinerator. Now it was soon going to be the whole camp that would die. Luckily the Jews managed to dis obey this order to there executions and hold out for ten long, starving days. On the tenth day there was gunfire and explosives going off. it was the resistance and they had taken over the base. Ellie spent the next few weeks eating and in the hospital. lastly he got up and looked at the cold stare coming from his mirror.

Now after being examined by some troops, they have now been sent to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. After being separated into occupation categories the jews are now all sent to work. it Appears that through out the orientation of the camp that Elli has a burning unbelievable rage inside him from all thats happened. Soon after his father went up to a gypsie to ask were the bathroom is but instead ended up being beaten senseless. it seems that these troops were here to use them as slaves in exchange for not killing them.
Pages 40-50
It seems that Ellie has now been moved to a more merciful concentration camp. His pleads were heard and was able to stay moderately close to his father. Though the guards there are nice, they will not laziness or slacking off for jobs they were assigned or there will be punishments. in the end though the last of his Jewish memories were taken away after his gold tooth was pulled out and his shoes were replaced and not bargained with. Though Elie is Jewish it looks like he's starting to question or believe a tiny bit in god for mercy and hope that he will not die.
Pages 50-60
Its been a few weeks since Ellie has arrived at the camp and now is working to get small rations to fill in his boned skin. The leaders or Idek seems to be the worse of the officers at the camp. To save his but and show fear to Elli he whipped him for seeing his self with a half nude Polish girl. It seems that the american forces or opposing enemy has started marching and getting further into German territory, since bombs went off one night at the camp.
Pages 70-80
Elli and the whole camp seem to dwindle in there faith to god. Akimbo has gave up all life he had and offered his neck to the execution. Elli seems to be more worried about his father since he thought that they would die. The condition and weather of the camp seems to be becoming worse then hell. its consistently having blizzards and ice winds that is tearing through the poor clothing and skin of the campers. lastly Elli is now in the hospital and has just had an operation on is frozen swollen leg. it appears the operation was a success and he has avoided the chopping block for now.
Pages 80-90
All the jews are now on the move leaving there concentration camp to go and find shelter far away. With the icy cold wind in front and the thought of being trampled to death by many other prisoners behind, Elie could only continue running on nearly no energy with his father. They finally made it to an abandon factory that was in poor, cold condition. If any of the Jews were to fall asleep on the freezing cold snow it would mean that they're sacrificing there lives to death. Many people are dead and the numbers just keep dropping and soon it will just be Ellie and his father.
Pages 90-100
Though he is passed out and not moving Ellie will not give up the fact that his father may soon pass away. He now is in a great panic to show the other troops that he is not dead yet. Now them and a fast depleting amount of jews are heading off in a train to the middle of Germany. during the ride Elli relives the savagery weak people have when there last source of hope is in between them all. It seems that more and more people are giving up on living and soon Chlomo's friend Meir Katz might be next. As Elli put it there is a contagion of death that is spreading across the carts. They now have arrived in Buchenwald, now only time will tell what will happn
Pages 101-109
Elli's father was in the final stages of Death there was no more hope, help, or miracle that could deny his inevitable demise. The bunk mates that were next to Chlomo soon started beating him and taking his rations of food, but still there was nothing that could be done to help him no matter how much he pleaded. Ellie was soon given advice from a guard to think for him self, instead of the lost father. Elli despite the fact it was true still couldn't think about it. the next day Chlomo was dead; he was taken late in the morning to the incinerator. Now it was soon going to be the whole camp that would die. Luckily the Jews managed to dis obey this order to there executions and hold out for ten long, starving days. On the tenth day there was gunfire and explosives going off. it was the resistance and they had taken over the base. Ellie spent the next few weeks eating and in the hospital. lastly he got up and looked at the cold stare coming from his mirror.
