Final Thoughts
There is a reason To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic. I remember the first time I read this great novel and at the time I thought it was it was one of the best novels we were required to read in school. I saw the movie some years later and thought it was a pretty good representation of the novel as well. Reading it now, as a teacher, and I can clearly see all of the literature aspects, social conflicts, symbolism and vivid descriptions of characters, of the south, and of racism. I know why this novel is classified as a classic. What a good read for us all!
Keep reading everyone,

It was a good read! I hope you all enjoyed the book.
Chapter 26
Why does Scout think her third grade teacher is a hypocrite?
Chapter 27
Why do you think Atticus appears calm when he knows that Bob Ewell is bothering some people in the town about the trial?
Chapter 28
Why do Jem and Scout think another student is following them?
Chapter 29
When does the realization of the attack hit Scout?
Chapter 30
Once again we see the reference of “to kill a mockingbird” why and to whom is the reference being made?
Chapter 31
Much growing up happens in the story for Jem and Scout. The book ends with an ironic twist in this regard. What is the irony in the last scene with Atticus reading to his children?
