Foreshadowing is used here to give clues as to exactly the kind of trouble a person can expect to find in Maycomb. The reader is already aware of the potential for trouble and this use of foreshadowing indicates that the reader can expect far more.

    Tate says that "I don't look for any trouble,"
    Atticus says, "Don't be foolish...This is Maycomb." -pg 165

Referring to looking for trouble personifies trouble suggesting that it is a person who can be looked for and found.
        “ I’ve just got this feeling” Jem said, “just this feeling” - pg.169

     Later Scout will say how Atticus’s face killed her joy while she thought her presence would be a good surprise, a distinct use of personification. 
        “I thought he would have a fine surprise, but his face killed my joy” - pg. 172

     “The Maycomb county jail has apparently been constructed as an experiment in design by its architect: "It was certainly someone's dream." Out of place with the utilitarian designs of the other public buildings, the jail is described by Scout as "a miniature Gothic joke" with its flying buttresses on a narrow building wedged between two others.” -pg 170-171]]>     2017-11-27 00:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210226554     mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227123 2017-11-27 00:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227123 mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227664 2017-11-27 00:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227664 mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227941 2017-11-27 00:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210227941 mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228059 2017-11-27 00:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228059 mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228504 2017-11-27 00:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228504 Character Study mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228623 2017-11-27 01:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/210228623 Scout Finch mclevien114 https://padlet.com/mclevien114/4ezv6hih13fm/wish/211197270

  • If you were put in Aunt Alexandra’s shoes. Would you be concerned about Atticus’s parenting? Why or why not?
  • What do you think would’ve happened to Atticus if the group of men showed up to The Maycomb Tribune office and Scout, Jem and Dill didn't show up?
  • In chapters 14&15 you meet many neighbourhood folks (Mr. Heck Tate, Mr. Link Deas, Miss Rachel, Mr.Cunningham, Tom Robinson & Mr. Underwood). Who do you think has been the most loyal to the Finch family thus far?
  • Jem and Scout have a age gap of about 5 years. Do you think it's fair for him to always have the final say and boss her around? Why or why not?
    • 5. Do you think the kids had the right to follow Atticus to find out where he was going that night?
