“Not only a Finch waiting on tables but one in the courthouse lawing for niggers!” (Racial Prejudice) Thats how they show how bad it was seen to defend black people.

It shows racial prejudice by having to mention 'Negro Girl'

I believe Calpurnia shows courage and Justice when she calls the Radley place to warn them of the mad dog. Despite what she is heard and knows about the radley place, she is brave enough to go the porch and call them. She also shows justice since its fair enough that she calls everyone in that street, so she needs to call the Radleys too.

I don't understand why they are making such a big deal for the dog. And I also don't get why is so important that is february. I think that the dog foreshadows something bad.

What really intrigues me is Atticus. I am reading the part where Scout is asking Calpurnia what can his father do. I think there is history, mystery, and pain behind this men. He is my favorite character in this book, I feel he gives wisdom to the story and I would like to know more about him.

I think that sometimes it is necessary to calm down in whose situations such as happened between Jem and Mrs. Dubose(p.120, ebook) because it is useless to argue and prove something

Atticus Finch is full of secrets. I did not know that he is a pro at shooting. Why he never told it to Jem and Scout. It seems like he is shying.

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (p.101, ebook)

-Ms. Maudie

I think that author meant that black people like a mockingbird - never did something bad against us. So, it is kind a sin to kill a black person, just because he is black.

The dog is sick, why is everyone going nuts over him? Pg: 123

Jem finally gave into his rage of people insulting Atticus (prejudice) by cutting the camellia bushes. Pg:

it seems thats theres a lot that we still don't know about Atticus and im guessing we will find out later. its sad at the end when Ms dubose dies they hated her and we did too but when we see her gift to gem it changes our view, such a small thing makes us feel bad for her.

# data[].attributes.body
this situation with Atticus is going to be a real problem and i think we are finally entering the whole racial prejudice for real now. him representing the man even though he's innocent, small towns run on gossip and the finches are going to be criticized about this, i predict we will see this alot at school with scout and gem.

"Didn't you know your daddy's -"

"Hush, Heck" said Atticus.

I'm intrigued to know what Mr. Tate was going to say about Atticus. What secret is he hiding? I want to know more about Atticus because eI think he is a very interesting character. We don't really know much about Atticus's childhood. I'm intrigued in his character and I want to know more about him.

"... Tom Robinson's case, is something that goes to the essence of a man's conscience - Scout, I couldn't go to church and worship God if I didn't try to help that man."

This quote shows justice because he believes Tom Robinson deserves to be helped. He doesn't care whether Tom Robinson is black, he wants to do the right thing. This quote also shows courage because it is corageous of Atticus to defend a negro during that time, where racial prejudice is a big thing.

“Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father’s right,” she said. “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

I feel this quote is very important to the book. They are talking about mockingbirds, birds that are good and innocent. This must have some kind of symbolism that will be discovered later on the book. I'm intrigued to know if this quote will later on help us understand the name of the book.

Chapter 10

I´m intrigued to know how the book got the name “How to Kill a Mockingbird”, especially after Atticus tells Scout “I´d rather you shot tin cans in the back yard, but I know you´ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ´em, but remember it´s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (pg. 90)

Why would she be ashamed that her father can play the Jew´s Harp? (91)

Why can Atticus shoot so well? (97)

Racial Prejudice is shown when Mrs. Dubose says “Yes indeed, what has this world come to when a Finch goes against his raising? I´ll tell you!”.....”Your father´s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!” (pg. 102)

Courage was shown when Jem went to cut off all of the camellia bushes that Mrs. Dubose had, even though he knew she had a gun and that he would get reprimanded by his father, Atticus. (103)

Justice isshown when Jem has to go to Mrs. Dubose´s house and read to her every afternoon after school and on Saturday, because of what he did to her bushes.

I never would have thought that Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict.

Atticus explains what courage is to Jem and Scout on page 112:
“....I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It´s when you know you´re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do....”

Scout thinks that her dad is corageous since he stood up or confronted ( not in a bad way) mrs. Dubose.

pg. 94 Calpurnia demonstrates courage when she runs to the porch of the Radleys. Even tho she knew about all the myths of people dying and even tho she knew that the dog was coming she still went out there to let them know.

Where were they standing when they shot the dog?

I am getting this strange feeling about the situation with the dog. Everyone seems threatened by the 'crazy dog' when in reality the dog is just looking for a place to die. It does not feel that they are planning to shoot him because they want to take the dog out of his misery, it feels like they are doing it because the dog will do something evil.

# data[].attributes.body
I think now in the book we can see how Scout and Jem are connecting more to their father than at the begining

# data[].attributes.body
These two chapters are filled with examples of courage because we see that there is really more to Atticus than we've been told, we see that the Finch children are starting to stand up for their father and that the lessons Atticus teaches his children are filled with morality and couragessness.

I think that this book section had a lot of Racial Prejudice because everyone turned agains Atticus because he is defending a Negro in a trial.

I agree with Atticus about Mrs. Debose. She shows courage by battling her addiction and holding it together until the end.

Atticus' secrets, like his ability to shoot very well intrigues me because he automatically becomes this mysterious father character.

I think that Scout's father makes a difference with his habits of reading and being different, I find it perfect. It is good to have fishers and hunters and 'intellectuals'.

I just realized how brave Atticus actually is. He is defending a Negro and probably will lose, but he has the courage to take the hit of failing his family and the client. I really like his character because he is always fair and brave.

“Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!”
This shows racial prejudice firstly because “niggers” are being compared with trash and secondly because the statement “nigger-lover” is taken as an insult. Afterwards, Atticus tells Scout and Jem how the use of the term should not offend them and that the fact that people use it as an insult shows their ignorance.

# data[].attributes.body
Atticus states that he has no intention of turning a blind eye to the injustice in Maycomb County. He says to Jem: "I try my best to love everybody." This is an example of both justice and courage. Courage because it is brave of him to stand up for something everyone else frowns upon and justice because he chooses to stand up for someone without stopping to judge them based on any stereotypes.

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Dubose started begin sexist towards Scout. She says she has to wear dresses like other girls and i think its a type of Racial Prejudice; not begin racist towards race, but "racist" towards sex.

Also, Mrs. Dubose doesn't filter what she says and she said something very offending about Atticus and how he has gone off Finch's comfort zone about defending Negroes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Ms. Maudie represent justice, because she defends Atticus' abilities. Scout says he can't do anything, but Miss Maudie proves her wrong.

Courage: "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.." -Atticus (to Jem)

Justice: Jem and Atticus are examples of justice during these chapters. Atticus shows justice by the fact that he does not want to hunt, even though he is really talented at shooting. He does not hunt because it would not be logic to use his talent towards such purposes. He only uses his gun when is necessary. Jem also shows justice by respecting Atticus´ decision of not telling them of his past. Therefore, he will not allow Scout to say anything about their father.

Courage is shown by Atticus and at the same time Calpurnia. Calpurnia because she had the courage to do and alert everybody even the Radley Place about the dog. Atticus because he was really brave to do and shoot that dog in front of everyone and actually shooting correctly.

".. I do my best to love everybody.. " -Atticus

One can see how Atticus shows Justice in everything he says and does. He really believes in justice and he would do anything even if it is a minimal thing, to help even a stranger.

Courage: Calpurnia shows courage when she runs to the Radley place to warn of a mad dog coming. This shows courage because the dog could have attacked her and secondly because the Radley place is a dark and scary house.

Atticus once again shows us that there is more than meets the eye. Who would've known that he was the town's best shooter. The fact that he never said anything just proves that he is humble and is again teaching his children what right and wrong is. This is also a great example of justice since Atticus realizes that even though he has the power and the talent to decide whether something will live or die, he chooses to abandon that and instead take a more humble path.

Jem shows justice when he says, “I reckon if he’d wanted us to know it, he’da told us. If he was proud of it, he’da told us.” He respects his father´s decision and convinces his sister to do the same. He admires his father and wants to be like him in the expression “Atticus is a gentleman, just like me!”

Pg 53

Atticus represents justice when he says to Jem: “to do something like this to a sick old lady is inexcusable. I strongly advise you to go down and have a talk with Mrs. Dubose”. Even if Mrs. Dubose shouldn´t said those comments about him to his children, Atticus tells Jem to apologize, showing fairness and justice above people´s opinion about him.
