In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summers day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum" (5). This quote describes the setting with a descriptive detail which paints the picture of the town Maycomb. It also sets the mood which is a dull town and also describes what Scout's feels about this town. ]]> 2018-03-13 12:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/241331009 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/241335671 "Then I saw the shadow. It was the shadow of a man with a hat on. At first I thought it was a tree, but there was no wind blowing, and tree trunks never walked. The back porch was bathed in moonlight, And the shadow, crisp and toast, moved across the porch towards Jem.  
Dill saw it next. He put his hands to his face.  When it crossed Jem, Jem saw it. He put his arms over his head and went ridged"(59). This quote is important because the children believe that the shadowed man is Boo Radley. They were deeply frightened and how his existence affected their lives. ]]> 2018-03-13 12:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/241335671 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/241342352 "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" (33). This quote is when Atticus was telling Scout that we shouldn't judge another person if we haven't experienced what they have been through.]]> 2018-03-13 13:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/241342352 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/244845164 "Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win" (87). This quote is from Atticus and he is pointing out that marginalisation is difficult to change in society. Also, he is trying to say that to fight that is impossible but however, it is still important to fight for what is right.]]> 2018-03-22 06:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/244845164 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/244848177 "Atticus hand yanked a ball-tipped lever as he brought the gun to his shoulder. The rifle cracked"(110). This quote is important because Scout and Jem didn't expect that their father is the best rifle shooter in town. Also, because although, he's the best rifle shooter he shots when he has to not when he wants to. Atticus doesn't show off that he's good at shooting. ]]> 2018-03-22 06:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/244848177 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247461938 "I wanted to show you what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand" (128). Atticus explains to Jem that courage is a mental decision. He also wanted Jem to differentiate between true courage and the appearance of courage. ]]> 2018-03-30 10:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247461938 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247463367 2018-03-30 10:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247463367 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247996807 "I'm scared ... Scared about Atticus. Somebody might hurt him" (167). Jem tells Scout that he's worried about Atticus and that he has a feeling that Atticus will get hurt because of the people in town that are against him. ]]> 2018-04-03 06:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/247996807 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/249713747 "They don't belong anywhere. Coloured folks won't have 'em because they're half white; white folks won't have 'em 'cause they're coloured, so they're just in-betweens, don't belong anywhere" (183). This quote is important because it has the theme of racial intolerance where it shows that even black people who are against racism would not accept half-black as well as the white folks. Also, this shows how much hatred they have towards each person. White folks would also not accept black people who are mixed.]]> 2018-04-09 10:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/249713747 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/249717924 "You're left- handed Mr. Ewell," said Judge Taylor (201) 
This quote demonstrates Atticus's intelligence and weakness in Mr Ewell's case. Atticus believes that Mr. Ewell was the one who beat Mayella instead of Tom. He also demonstrates Mr. Ewell's left hand in comparison of Tom's disabled left arm. Atticus evidence makes the reader not to trust Mr. Ewell's words.]]> 2018-04-09 10:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/249717924 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/251791317 After Jem was unbuttoning his shirt to show Scout something and she asks what is it? Jem says "Well it's hair" (257). This quote shows coming of age because Jem is growing up and has hair on his chest and under his arms. This also represents the theme of growing up.

She looked at a tray of cookies on the table and nodded at them. I carefully picked up the tray and watched myself walk to Mrs. Merriweather. With my very best company manners, I asked her if she would have some. After all, if Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, so could I (271). This quote is about Scout starting to realize the advantages of being a a proper lady and she thinks that it's really isn't that bad. Also, she was impressed by Aunt Alexandra who could hide her sadness after hearing the news of Tom's death. When scout mentions "at a time like this" she refers to Tom's death. However, Scout vows to become more of a lady-like and this character development is important for her.]]> 2018-04-14 13:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/251793575 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/254110648 "Jem was becoming almost as good as Atticus at making you feel right when things went wrong" (297). This quote shows that Scout recognizes how Jem has matured. It also shows how Jem is learning things from his father and he kind of changing in a good way and as same as Atticus. ]]> 2018-04-22 07:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/254110648 HindAlThani https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/254126105 "His face was as white as his hands, but for a shadow on his jutting chin" (310). This quote is important because this is the first time that not only Scout sees Boo for the first time but also the reader. It also shows how Boo has been away from people and that he's always inside the house. It reveals the mystery of the appearance of Boo.]]> 2018-04-22 11:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/HindAlThani/vz43w83pxu8a/wish/254126105
