Do you think the missionary circle is really racist after calling some black people “sulky” and saying some blacks need to be save? These are contrasting statements.

Hi students! Sorry for my absence, we all were having computer issues at this end and were unable to connect. Here is the next set of questions.

Chp 21

Jem asked Atticus, “You think they’ll acquit him that fast?” (pg 207) Atticus started to answer, but then didn’t. Why?


Chp 22

Miss Maudie was explaining to Jem that it was no accident that the court appointed Atticus to defend Tom instead of Maxwell Green. Why do you think it was no accident?

Chp 23

Atticus is explaining to Jem how the jury’s votes might be swayed by circumstances. Do you think that if you had to stand up against a group of students and vote opposite of the majority, that there might be some type of retaliation against you?

Chp 24

In this chapter Scout is in the ladies world and she is not accustomed to. What is she learning?

Chp 25

Why do you think that Maycomb only thought of the news of Tom’s death for only a few days?

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed this book. To be honest, I was reluctant to read this story. When I got past the first chapter, though, it was difficult to put it down. I read the book first, and then I went back to write my chapter questions. I found myself re-reading certain chapters as I was trying to find questions! This is such an honest story about life in the south during this particular time period. Each character has such unique qualities and characteristics. I laughed, I cried I got angry, and I felt happy throughout the book. It was such a great rush of emotions!
