I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants."

Scared him pale, though. Says if
anybody sees a white nigger around, that’s the one. Says he’s got the other barrel
waitin‘ for the next sound he hears in that patch, an’ next time he won’t aim high, be it dog, nigger, or—Jem Finch!” (Lee, pg 72)]]> 2017-02-24 16:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156079797 leahm2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156079883 This quote shows the stereotypes that existed during the time period in TKAM. Scout is expected to wear a dress and "act like a lady". This shows the sexism that took place in the novel and how it affected women and girls that were subjected to it. ]]> 2017-02-24 16:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156079883 sierrag2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156079974 "He's one of the Ewells, ma'am," and I wondered if this explanation would be as unsuccessful as my attempt...."Whole school's full of 'em. They come first day ever year and then leave. The truant lady gets 'em here 'cause she threatens 'em with the sheriff, but she's give up trynin' to hold 'em..."

Mrs. Dubose told Scout to put on a dress, or else she might not grow up to be what everybody expected. She is practically saying that if you don't "dress like a girl," then you aren't one.]]> 2017-02-24 17:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156081250 amolb2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156081397 Mr. Radley just shot at the man, because he was black. ]]> 2017-02-24 17:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156081397 ivanl2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156081483 "...you've got to do something about her," Aunty was saying.

This is very racist. I believe that this is wrong, and is very un just. ]]> 2017-02-24 17:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156081616 leahm2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156082368 This quote shows how the class system is in Maycomb. The Ewells are only one example of how the rich and poor work. The kids only come to school ONE day out of the whole year, and on top of that, they are dirty and filthy. ]]> 2017-02-24 17:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156082368 ivanl2021 https://padlet.com/sierrag2021/yp6pdmrk67cj/wish/156082402 Aunt Alexandra is trying to get rid of Calpurnia. This is because Calpurnia is a servant and is Afican American.
