As the trial develops, various citizens of Maycomb -- even children -- display outright racism and prejudices towards the African American community. ]]> 2018-03-05 14:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238092153 barbara_henson https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238092154 Francis: “If Uncle Atticus lets you run around with stray dogs, that’s his own business, like Grandma says, so it ain’t your fault.

Scout has to act mature and not fight the children that make fun of her father.
2.Scout is taught how to properly act when there is a guest at their house. The adults have to coach her and teach her how to be kind and mannerly like an adult.
3.Aunt Alexandra tries to convince Scout to be proper and learn to be a young lady. Scout starts to feel the pressure to leave her childhood ways of wearing overalls and playing with boys and is told to prepare for the life of being a grown woman and a wife.
4. Atticus exclaims the what Mrs.Dubose did was the true sign of courage. That the fact that she died without using pain killers shows her true colors, especially because she was a drug addict. ]]> 2018-03-06 15:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238664511 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238664525 2018-03-06 15:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238664525 100164950 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238665701  Throughout the book, Scout and Jem realize that Boo might not be so scary.

Atticus Finch is an outsider for a few reasons. For one, many people cast him out of normal society because he is supporting an African American. Not only that but Atticus is an outsider because he does not do the things other normal fathers would do. It says in the book that he does not do the normal job, does not do normal after school activities; he reads and works in an office. Calpurnia on the other hand, I would consider to be an insider for multiple reasons. For one, she is a strong member of her Church, as seen in chapter 12. Also, she is very advanced in her knowledge for an African American at that time. She seems to know everyone and have close connections with important people, (as seen in ch. 10). Finally, she has been accepted in by the Finch family and even grew up around the area with them and the Buford's.]]> 2018-03-06 15:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238668732 100122768 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669172 Jem and Scout get in trouble with Mrs. Dubose because Jem gets mad and destroys her camellia bushes. Earlier that day, Mrs. Dubose had verbally attacked Atticus and said he was, "in the courthouse lawing for n******!" Although Mrs. Dubose makes a lot of off-color comments to Jem and Scout, this one hits Jem especially hard and he lets his emotions get the best of him and destroys her garden. Atticus gets home and finds out what Jem did and then  forces him to apologize and read to Mrs. Dubose. ]]> 2018-03-06 15:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669172 100130496 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669188 dd]]> 2018-03-06 15:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669188 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669206 -John Aguilar]]> 2018-03-06 15:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669206 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669474 2018-03-06 15:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238669474 100130939 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238670118 Scout: "Mrs Radley ran screaming into the street that Arthur was killing them all, but when the sheriff arrived he found Boo sill seating in the living room, cutting up the tribune."(Lee 7)]]> 2018-03-06 15:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238670118 100122748 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238672627 1.To Kill A Mockingbird is written in the perspective of a young girl named Scout, who learns the qualities of life in the  South and deals with the formative years of her life, exposed to racism and more.

"... when i said i could do nothing in a dress, she said i wasn't supposed to doing thing that required pants.

Response #1
Scout has to receive the rude comments from her aunt in a mannerly and respectful way. Although she does not want to change her clothes to dresses and pearl necklaces, she feels the pressure to do so by her aunt.

Scout has to deal with the disapproval and rude comments at school. She is used to fighting her way out of conflicts but when Atticus tells Scout he doesn't want her fighting the children, she has to stop her old ways and learn to ignore and be patient. ]]> 2018-03-06 15:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238675808 https://padlet.com/barbara_henson/phnthzkala6/wish/238677790 Atticus wants to protect Jem and Scout from becoming like the rest of the ignorant citizens of Maycomb.

Because Jem bashed her flowers because of what she said, his punishment was to read to her for a month. This teaches him reformatory and patience, which is badly needed. Scout and Jem are at very young and vulnerable ages in which they do not know how to control their anger.
