We are finishing our 4th Year Lit class...

This is going to be our last class...I would like to share our feelings about the year we've had. Open your hearts and write about our Lit class...

We've finished To Kill a Mockingbird!

We've finished reading TKAM and we've also seen the movie. Mention at least three differences between the book and the movie. Which one do you prefer? Why?

TKAM- Chapters 25-26

Answer these questions asked by your clasmates:
1- If you knew who Hitler was and he was drowning, would you save him? Is it wrong to hate?
2- Why was Scout so angry about what the teacher had said?
3- Why do you think Scout thought Jem would understand her better than Atticus?

Chapters 20-23

Have you imagined that the jury was going to declare Tom Robinson guilty?

What is your opinion of Atticus' reaction when Bob Ewell curses him out and spits in his face? What would you have done in Atticus' place?

TKAM - Chapters 15-16

1- Tom Robinson is in jail because he was acussed of raping a white woman. To the crowd of friends in front of his house, Atticus says, "Link, that boy might go to the chair, but he's not going till the truth's told... And you know what the truth is." We readers, however, do not know what the truth is, but we might speculate. What do you think the truth might be?

2- Chapter 16 gives a picture of the customs and social attitudes of a small Southern town in the late 1930's. What particularly caught your attention?

TKAM - Chapters 10-13

1- Atticus said that Mrs Dubose had real courage. Courage, he says is, "...when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." What is your opinion of his definition? What is your definition of courage?

2- Atticus tells Scout, "It's not time to worry." Explain what foreshadowing is to someone who is not familiar with the term, and explain what this comment probably foreshadows.

To Kill a Mockingbird - Chapter 9

What can be deduced about the character of Atticus from his defense of Tom Robinson? Has your idea about Atticus changed in this last chapter?
