They are discussing the National Recovery Act (NRA), and Scout asks who "killed it," and Atticus alludes the supreme court when he replies " nine old men" (Lee 254).

"Firstly, people had removed from their store windows and automobiles the stickers that said NRA—WE DO OUR PART. I asked Atticus why, and he said it was because the National Recovery Act was dead. I asked who killed it: he said nine old men" (Lee 254). ]]> 2018-01-18 16:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/TheEmiliSmith/gmh8rc8no7gu/wish/222499520 Allusion jshanks3512 https://padlet.com/TheEmiliSmith/gmh8rc8no7gu/wish/222499578 When Jem was upset about the hate he and his family were receiving, “[Scout] picked up a picture of Dixie Howell, showed it to Jem, and said, ‘This looks like you’” (Lee 106).

It is our church, ain't it, Miss Cal” (Lee 48).

In a time period where people were being segregated, and white men treated black men as if they weren’t human beings, it is odd to see a white person being picked on for their skin color. Calpurnia had decided to take Jem and Scout to her church, where mostly black people congregated. This situation is a good example of Scout learning about perspective. Lula, a young black girl, tells Capurnia that “[she] ain’t got no business bringin’ white chillun [there]”, which makes Scout reassess the situation (Lee 48).]]> 2018-01-18 16:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/TheEmiliSmith/gmh8rc8no7gu/wish/222499620 Irony lhackman6514 https://padlet.com/TheEmiliSmith/gmh8rc8no7gu/wish/222500199 "I try to give ‘me reason , you see?

Atticus appeals to the court, “but there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal... there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein” (Lee 223). Throughout this submission Atticus begins to piece the case together and conclude that it had been Mr. Ewell who had beaten Mayella, although the jury had still decided Tom Robinson to be guilty after Atticus had made many valid contributions to the case. This is an accurate example of an allusion in which Atticus summons to the jury a reference two of the most famous men in the current time frame.

-Scout Finch

This quote shows a slight hint of the theme of perseverance, as Scout wishes for a challenge for school, as they are still behind her knowledge of reading and writing, and she is not allowed to advance the class; she is rather discouraged in her ability to read and write by her teachers.
