Embedded quote:  Next morning on the way to school he ran ahead of me and stopped at the tree. Jem was facing me when he looked up, and I saw him go stark white. ‘Scout!’ I ran to him. Someone had filled our knot-hole with cement. ‘Don’t you cry, now, Scout… don’t cry now, don’t you worry-’ he muttered at me all the way to school.” (Lee 59)

In this part of the chapter, Scout and Jem Finch found two dolls that resembles them in a tree on the Radley’s property and wanted to thank whoever put them there. However, when Jem went to put the letter there the hole was filled with cement so they couldn’t put the letter there or thank whoever gave them the dolls.

Paraphrased quote: Scout complains to Jem how she’s not enjoying second grade but he explains to her that no one understands or values the true meaning of life or education until sixth grade. “The second grade was grim, but Jem assured me that the older I got the better school would be, that he started off the same way, and it was not until one reached the sixth grade that one learned anything of value.” (Lee 60)

The people of Maycomb are not used to having snow and cold weather. Miss Maudie specifically isn't a fan of the snow because, "'If it freezes...it’ll carry off all [her] azaleas!'" (Lee 67).

Paraphrased quote:
“With most of her possessions gone and her beloved yard a shambles, she still took a lively and cordial interest in Jem’s and my affairs.”

In this chapter, Miss Maudie’s house catches on fire and many of her belongings are gone, but she still is very positive. Miss Maudie didn't let one unfortunate event get in the way of how she interacts with others and her concern for Jem and Scout (Lee 75).

"On Sunday, at church, Scout saw Atticus with a group of other men who didn't normally go to church and wondered if they saw the light. Something big must have happened to get them all out."

Scout is making connections with what is happening in the court room to the Radley place when she says "and every door in the neighborhood was shut as tight as the doors of the Radley place" (Lee 281).

"A jury never looks at a defendant it has convicted, and when this jury came in, not one of them looked at Tom Robinson"

When the jury has made a decision on whether or not someone is guilty or not it is normal for the people in the jury not to look at the defendant when they walk back in if they said that he was guilty (Lee 282).

do because that’s the way I want to live” (Lee 204).

Throughout the book we see the Ewell family and their struggles with money. We also see there is really no one that really cared about them until Tom Robinson said "No sur, not after she offered a nickel the first time... I knowed she didn't have no nickel to spare". This showed that Tom cared and knew that Mrs.Ewell and her family really needed the money.

Dill was trying to explain to scout that the way Mr.Gilmer talked to Tom was unappropriated, and the nasty things he said is making him sick.

paraphrased quote:
During the trial they found it hard to catch Mr. Ewell on certain details of the story and his story was consistent, until they eventually caught him, this shows that honesty is always the best policy and lying will never be okay once everything is over with (Lee 202).
