~Chapter 9~ An appropriate title for this title could be; A Holiday at Finch's Landing. I chose this for my title because throughout most of this chapter Scout spends most of her time explaining Finch's Landin and the events that occur while she is there for the Christmas holiday. A few main events that happen during this chapter are; When Scout uses innappropriate language in front of Uncle Jack and when Francis calls Atticus a Negro- Lover (in a worse context). Uncle Jack shows his distaste for a young lady speaking with such disrespectful words and tells scout that she will not be a very propper lady if she continues to say such words. When Francis calls Atticus a Negro-Lover (still in worse context)more than once in fact, Scout proceeds to lose control of her anger and she punches Francis in the face. She then gets blamed for starting the whole fight. This is why i believe that " The Holiday at Finch's Landing" is a sufficient title for chapter 9.
Scout was getting real mad when Francis was calling Atticus a negro-lover. She didn't know what it meant exactly but by the way he said it, she knew that it wasnt good. She was also angry that her Aunt Alexandria thought that Francis was innocent and put all the blame on her.
I chose this title because throught the whole chapter, Scout was mad that she was being blamed and she was angry that Francis was found innocent. K.T.
Scout was fussing about how Atticus being 50, he couldn't do anything active that the kids wanted to do and all he would do was read. The kids saw the old town dog named Tim Johnson. The dog looked madd so after the kids told Calpurina, she told everyone and Atticus came with a sheriff and shot the dog. Scout was going to tell everyone about her father's accuracy but Jem was moved back by this whole thing and told her not to say anything because they were both gentelmen.
I chose this title because everything in this chapter is refered to as being old. K.T
Jem had hated Mrs.Dubose. One day after having enough of her name calling towards his father, he trashed her flowers. As a punishment he had to read to her everyday. She would have these fits because she was old and sick. Later, she called Jem's father to create her will and minutes after finishing, she died.
I chose this title because before the ids would not leave boo Radley alone but now Jem and Scout are going after Mrs.Dubose. K.T
Jem is getting older and according to Scout he is moody and he doesn't want to be with her and she doesn't understand why. Calpurnia tells Scout that anytime she is bored, she can go into the kitchen and they will find stuff to do. Calpurnia takes Jem and Scout to her church. Scout can't help but question why they don't have books and why the reverend reads and they follow. She is also confused with the changed scenery and environment she is now in.
I chose this title because there are many changes that the kids are going through with age and scenery. K.T
Jem and Scout came home to find their Aunt Alexandria on their front porch. She demanded that Calpurnia take her bags. For the life of them, they couldn't figure out what she was doing here. Later, she had talked to Atticus and told him that the kids needed to realize the importance of the Finch family name and they had to start acting like the lady and gentleman that they were.
I chose this chapter title because they came home to their Aunt on their porch and the whole chapter was mainly about her being at their house. K.T
Aunt Alexandria was fighting back with Atticus about Scout's behavior and nobody fought back with him. Jem had also gotten into a fight with Scout over him telling her what to do. Dill also had later showed up hiding under Scout's bed. He had run away from home and ended up at their house.
I chose this chapter title because this chapter is just filled with new things from the fights to Dill showing up. K.T
Jem, Scout, and Dill all snuck out of the house to go see where Atticus was at. once they found the location, they didn't know anyone. They were told to leave but they didn't. They just stood there frozen.
I chose this title because basically, all the kids did was sneak past Aunt Alexandria to g to Atticus. K.T
Jem and Scout sneak into the court room to find the judge half asleep, Atticus with no papers or folders while the opposing side has a stack of information.
I chose this chapter title because throught the whole chapter, Jem and Scout were talking about Tom's case. K.T
For chapter 12, I would name it "Unknown Age." I choose this title because it talks about Calpurnias life and how she doesn;t know her birthday, so she celebrates it on Christmas. She says she ages fast since she can't read. Also she said that colored folks don't show thier age as much, so not many people would know her age. That is why my title for chapter 12 is "Unknown Age." Z.R
It's the day of the case and they are explainging how things happened to the judge. It seems that Atticus is really pushing the witnesses for answers. He will repeat the same question to see if it is their final answer or if they are lying. The witnesses seem very nervous and Tom Robbinson and Atticus both seem very cool and collected. About half way through the chapter, the Reverand advises Jem to send Scout and Dill home but he objects saying that it doesn't matter because they dont understand anything that is going on anyway. Then, later on, the judge makes an announcment that all children and women should leave the court room.
I chose this chapter title because throught the whole chapter, they were syaing what was taking place in the court room. K.T
Atticus was interrogating Mayella Ewell. He was trying to get everything he could out of her. She was crying for real and she was shedding fake tears. Sometimes she would mess her whole story line up. Jem pointed out to the Reverend that Tom was crippled. His left arm was a few inches shorter than the right. What Atticus was getting to was was how could the other Ewell children not hear her screams and how could Tom do the thing he is accused of doing when he has no use of his left arm.
I chose this chapter title because throughout this chapter, the "victim" was being questioned and this whole chapter was about her. K.T
Tom Robinson is asked many questions about why he was in the fenced area. He said he didn't do anything to Maybell, he said that she had hugged him and kissed him and he tried to move away. He claimed that he didn't want to push her and hurt her so he just tried to walk away but she held onto him. Tom said that Maybel's Dad had saw her through the window and he called her a bad name and said he would kill her. Tom had said that he did no harm to her. He said he ran because he was scared to go to court for something he didn't do. The way the jury was talking to Tom had played an effect on Dill and he didn't like it at all.
I chose this chapter title because this chapter was about Tom's view of the case. K.T
This is the end of the Tom Robinson case. Aticus had stated that Maybell was beaten by her father because Tom was crippled with the arm she was beaten with. He had also said that Maybell's false accusations were to mask up her own guilt for hugging and kissing a black man. Atticus had plead Tom innocent and MAybell guilty for her own actions.
I chose this chapter title because it was the end of the case and according to Attius, Tom was plead innocent. K.T
Calpurnia had gone to the court to hand Atticus a letter written by Alexandria saying that the children had been gone all day. Calpurnia had brought them home and they had to eat supper then they could go back to the court. The case had ended and Atticus had walked out leaving Tom behind.
I chose this title because it was the end of the case and Atticus was leaving so it was all over. K.T
The next morning, Atticus found out by Calpurnia hat there were all gifts left on the back porch from his hard work. Miss Maudie, Miss Stephanie, Miss. Rachel, and Mr. Avery were all talking about the case from yesterday and a new event. They were talking about how when Atticus was in his way to town, Mr. Ewell had spit in his face and told him that he would get him if it took the rest of his life.
chose this chapter title because they were pretty much reviewing everything that was happening. K.T
For chapter 10, I would title it, "Old But Skilled." I would call it this because it tells about how Atticus is getting old and how he isn't very active anymore. For example, when him and Jem are playing football, he can't tackle Atticus because he says he's too old. Atticus does have a unique talent, and that is making a sharp shot. He showed his skills when Tim Johnson was heading torwards everyone. He was given a rifle and in one shot, the mad dog was gone. That is how Atticus, may be old, to Scout and Jem, but he still has some skill. Z.R.

For chapter 11, I would call it "Mean Old Dubose," because this chapter tells how Jem had to watch over Mrs. Dubose and she was not polite to Jem or anyone else. Proof is that, Mrs. Dubose is disrespectful. She is disrespectful to Atticus. She starts off by telling Jem, that Atticus is no better than the trash he works for, and she takes Scout and Jem as bad people, because they were walking by her house during school time. She accused them of playing hookie even though they weren't. Mrs. Dubose also had more problems, she was addicted to morphine and she used it too help her sleep. Mrs. Dubose does pass away, soon later after Jem had to watch her, but while she lived, she was a mean person and didn't like to see anyone. Z.R

Everyone is obviously growing old of Mr.Cunningham's obnoxious ways. He had spit in Atticus's face and he just walked away. Jem is getting older too. He now takes the responsibility of comforting Scout whenever she needs comfort. Scout is also getting tired of her Aunt Alexandria trying to teach her to be a lady.
I chose this title becasue everyone is growing old in one way or another whether it's with the people they are around or if it is their age. K.T
Aunt Alexandria had her friends over for coffee and treats. They talked about various subjects from Scout to themselves. Later during this small gathering, Atticus came home earlier than he was supposed to. He had broke the news to Alexandria, Calpurnia, and Scout that Tom Robinson had been shot. He was exercising and he jumped over the fence and the guards shot him 17 times.
I chose this chapter because the whole time, Alexandria's friends were over for coffee. K.T
Scout was thinking back to the day Dill left them again. She thought of what he said when you walk to the creek, you can get a cheap ride and go anywhere. She was thinking of the time when Atticus saw Dill and Jem walking and they wanted to go for a ride with him and Calpurnia to Tom's house so Atticus said that was fine only if they stayed in the car.
I chose this title because all through the night, Scout was thinking back to the memory of Dill. K.T

After he says that, Scout punched Francis in the face becasue of Francs calling Atticus a name. Then she gets blamed for staring the fight. BA
In school, Scout was learning about current events and Adolf Hitler came up as one. Scout had many questions about him and how he had the right to persicute people like them. She didn't understand what a dictator was and how much power they have. Scout had asaked Atticus to answer her question and he didn't have an answer so she asked Jem. When she asked him, she had brought up Tom's case and how one person could have so much power. This was a sensitive subject so Scout just let it be.
I chose this title because they were learning about current events and Hitler was in charge and Tom's case was very recent also. K.T
Everyone has their own problems it seems. Whether it is work, their social life, or they are just tired. They all seem to be troubled and the need solutions for what is going on.
I chose this title because in this chapter, everyone has their problems and they need to be solved. K.T
Walking home from Scout's play, Jem was viciously attacked. He was knocked unconcious and his arm was badly broken at the elbow. Scout has a bump on her head as with Jem. She doesnt know who attcked her. The sheriff looked over the area and he found Scout's dress and Bob Ewell dead on the ground with a knife in his ribs.
I chose this title because everyone was attacked and they dont know who did it. K.T

Chapters 9, 10, 11: 9 title: Francis, Francis, Francis 10 title: One good Shot! 11 title: Ms. Dubose
Chapter 9: At school, Scout almost starts a fight with her friend Cecil Jacobs after he says that Scout’s dad defends niggers. He was asked to defend a guy named Tom Robinson, the man accused of raping a white woman. It is something that he doesn't want to win, but he told Scout that he must go to it to show justice and self-respect. At Christmas time, Atticus’s brother Jack came to stay with Atticus for a week. Scout usually gets along with Uncle Jack but when he arrives, she begins swearing in front of him. After supper Jack has Scout sit on his lap and he tells her not to swear. On Christmas Day, Atticus takes Jem scout and Jack to Finch’s Landing, an old house where Atticus’s sister Alexandra and her husband live. There, Scout meets Francis, Alexandra’s grandson, who was dropped off at her house for the holiday. Scout thinks Francis is the most boring kid she has ever met. Francis also calls Atticus a “Nigger Lover” and his dad spanked Scout.
Chapter 10: Knowing how old Atticus is said to be from scout and Jem, he sure has quite an aim. When a dog was wandering on the street, Calpurnia called Atticus who came home from work with Heck Tate, the towns Sherriff who asks atticus to shoot the dog. In one shot atticus got the dog. After that miss Maudie told the kids that atticus was the best shooter in the county and she calls him One shot finch.
Chapter 11: Miss Dubose tells the children that atticus is no better than the people he works for and Jem gets mad so he destroyed all of her flowers. For a punishment, he has to read to her every day for a month. After the punishment ended a little bit later Miss Dubose dies. She was addicted to morphine. And Miss dubose gives him a white carmellia in a box.
Scout was feeling bad for making fun of Boo and she wasn't scared to be in the same room as him. When she was walking him home, she saw her street from a differant perspective. It was from Boo's. When she went inside, Atticus was reading to Jem who was asleep. It was called Gray Ghost and Scout was telling Atticus that the only scary things are in books.
I chose this title because she realized at the end of the day that there was nothing wrong with Boo and he really wasn't scary. The kids had just let their imaginations run too wild. K.T
Chapter 10- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "50." Scout was talking about how Atticus would be turning 50 and making a big deal out of it. Scout was complaining that Atticus would no longer be able to play with them and all he wanted to do was read. One day the kids met the old dog in the neighborhood named Tim Johnson. The kids said the dog was mad so they told Atticus, Atticus told the sheriff, so the sheriff shot the dog. BA
Chapter 11- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Enemies." This is a good chapter title because Jem hated Mrs. Douboise so he felt that he needed to go to her house and trash all of her flowers. Then he got caught and he was forced to read to her because she was old. Shortly after, she died. BA
Chapter 12- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Growing Older". This would be a good chapter title because Jem is starting to get older and he is changing. Scout calls him moody because he doesn't want anything to do with her and Scout doesn't know why. BA
Chapter 12: Jem is now twelve and tells Scout to stop bothering him. Dill is not coming south this year because his mom remarried and him mean new father is not letting him go. The state legislatures making Atticus have to go to the state capital every day for two weeks. Calpurnia also decides to bring the kids to her colored church. It was named the first purchase because it was bought with the first earnings of free slaves. The church does greatly accept the white children to pray with them. The church also helps raise money for Helen Robinson, who lost her job when her husband was accused of rape. This is important because scout finds out that Bob Ewell accused Tom… No one can believe the Ewell’s!
Chapter 13: Aunt Alexandria comes over to teach the children proper manners. The townspeople greet her with cakes and coffee, etc. There’s not much that goes on in this chapter other than aunt Alexandria telling them they need to follow their ancestry. After she forces Atticus to talk to them he does nothing but make scout cry.
Chapter 14: In this chapter a lot of things happen. Scout tried to ask Atticus what rape is, and she also brings up the topic of Calpurnias church. Aunt Alexandria tells atticus to get rid of Calpurnia but he says no. Then, comes a fun part of the story: Scout and Jem get into a fight and get sent to their rooms. Scout looks under her bed and finds Dill! He ran away from home because his parents weren’t paying enough attention to him. When Jem tells Atticus, he feeds Dill and allows him to rest.
Chapter 1- "My Past Days" The Narriator, Jean Louise, or Scout Finch tell us the story about her family and this chapter intrduces the characters. Jem, scouts older brother; Atticus, the children's father; Calpurnia, Motherly figure, takes care of the children (African American); Dill who is Jem and Scout's friend for the summer. And "Boo" Radley who is the 'mysterious man down the street'.
Chapter 2- "Starting School" Dill goes back when the start of school comes around. Scout is starting school and sh already knows how to read. Her teacher, Miss Caroline does not like that scout already knows how to read. She accuses Atticus of teaching her the wrong way and tells her to stop. When Scout tries to explain to Miss Caroline about Walter's living conditions, she refuses to listen and gets so fed up she slaps Scout with a ruler.
Chapter 3- "Sneaky Plans" Jem invites Walter over for dinner. Walter talks to Atticus about the farm. At school, Miss Caroline is grossed out by Buris Ewell and his "cooties". She sends him home but it doesn't matter because he only comes to the first day of school anyways. The Ewells are poorer than the Cunninghams. Back at home Scout is very upset that she can't read anymore.. so she doesnt want to go to school. Atticus tells her that if she went to school he would let her keep reading.
Chapter 13- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Aunt Alexandria."

Chapter 16- A good chapter title for this chapter would be, "The Courtroom." This is a good chapter title because it explains how Scout, Jem and Dill got into the courtroom with the judge alomst sleeping.
Chapter 17- A good chapter title for this chapter would be, "Courtroom Debates." This is a good chapter title because it explains how the case between Tom Robinson and Mayella, Bob Ewell's eldest daughter. At a point during the case, the judge asked all children and women to leave the courtroom.
Chapter 18- A good chapter title for this chapter would be, "Mayella." This is a good chapter title because the whole chapter is about her and her story of what happened on the day of the raping. Mayella slipped a few times in telling the story and was being interrogated by Atticus for real answers.
Chapter 19- A good chapter title for this chapter would be,"Blaming." This is a good chapter title because Tom Robinson tries to turn the case back on Mayella and say that she was the one all over him and she had hugged and kissed him.

Chapter 15 title: The Maycomb Jail Chapter 16 title: The trial begins Chapter 17 title: The Clue
Chapter 15: Atticus’s trial is nearing and he goes to the Jail in his home town, reading the news as Jem, Dill, and Scout sneak up to spy on him. As they do so, cars surround the jail and a group of men step out of the car. When scout panics and runs out to help with jem and Dill following, one of the men said Atticus had only so long to get the children to leave. Scout found Mr. Cunningham in the group who embarrassed himself by talking to her. As the men cleared out, Mr. Underwood checked with Atticus to make sure everything was alright and the family plus Dill went home.
Chapter 16: when everyone crowds in the courtroom to begin the trial, the only person who doesn’t show up is Mrs. Maudie. She didn’t show up because she thought death sentence trials were cruel. When the kids went to the trial (which they weren’t supposed to be at), they hid towards the back but then were moved up to the balcony.
Chapter 17: The trial begins with Mr. Ewell who begins to describe what happened in the story. When he goes on the say the girl’s body was beaten, he notices bob is a lefty, so, the bruises would be on the right side of Mayella. This clue leads into evidence against Mr. Ewells side of the story. This is just about it for this chapter.
Chapter 9- "Troublemaker Francis" Scout almost gets in a fight with Cecil Jacobs. He is a classmate of Scouts. Christmas time comes and the whole Finch family comes together; cousins, aunts, uncles, everyone. Scout is told she needs to deass more like a lady by Aunt Alexandra. Scout later gets in a fight with Francis (Alexandra's grandson) because he called Atticus a nigger-lover. Later on, Uncle Jack learns a valuable lesson about always telling children the truth.
Chapter 10- "Lessons learned from the past" Jem and Scout got guns for Christmas. They could shoot any bird they wanted too, except a mockingbird. The kids learned that killing a mockingbird was a sin. The mockingbird never did anything to hurt us, it ony makes beautiful music for people to listen to. Atticus was getting old now but he still had incredible aim with a gun. He had to shoot Tom Jonson, the "mad dog" in a difficult position. Back in his day Atticus was called "One-Shot-Finch".
el 15-gangs in maycomb- in this chapter a gang forms aroun the jail where tom robinson is being held they are here to hurt him and aticus. their plan is foiled by scout though because she bigins to inocently talk to mr cunningham and he sees his childern in her and decides not to go through with it and leaves

Chapter 13,"Family Visitor." I called the chapter this, because this is when Aunt Alexzandra visits Attiucs, Jem, and Scout. She enters the home with demanding comments like, "put my bag in the front bedroom," to Calipurnia and "Jean Louise, stop scratching your head." She talks to the kids about her history and Maycomb as an ancient town. That is what happens in chapter 13. Z.R
Chapter 13- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Aunt Alexandria."

Robinson said that the whole time he was just trying to get away from her. BA
Chapter 20- A good chapter title for htis chapter would be,"Case Closed." This is a good chapter title because it shows how the case between Tom Robinson and Mayella had ended. It ended that Mayella's father had beaten her and that Robinson wasn't able to because his arm was crippled. Atticus pleaded Tom Robinson not guilty and to have Mayella be responsible for her actions.
Chapter 21- A good chapter title for this chapter would be,"The Letter."

There wans't any real, solid evidence to come to a positive conclusion on the subject.
Chapter 31- A good chapter title for this chapter would be,"Rethinking." This is a good chapter title because it talks about how Scout was feeling bad about judging Boo Radely. As it turns out, Boo isn't a bad person, he just is misconseeved by people on how they think of Boo. He actually isn't a vicious person how many people in Maycomb view him as. BA
Chapter 18: the trial begins with Mayella swearing to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When the judge asks her a few questions she begins to cry. He told her to stop after a little bit of time. When the judge asked how old she was, she said 19. She explains how he came in and harmed her. Atticus then asks why she didn’t fight and scream louder. And Atticus also mentions how Tom could have harmed the right side of her face if his left hand was torn apart when he was little. After that, Mayella answered no more questions.
Chapter 19: Tom says he passes the Ewell house every day and that Mayella often asks her to do chores for her. When he was walking by one evening, he said that Mayella asked him to fix a door. There was nothing wrong with that and all the children were gone. She then asked him to lift a box off of her dresser and she grabbed his legs which scared him off the chair he was using to reach up. She then asked him to kiss her. When Mayella did this her father called her names and yelled at her through the window. Later in the trial tom says he felt sorry for Mayella. Mr. Gilmer says that black people aren’t supposed to feel sorry for white women and he is accused of lying. Dill began to cry because of Mr. Gilmers rude treatment to Tom.
Chapter 20: Dill gets offered a sip of a drink from a paper bag from Mr. Raymond. When dill drinks it, scout reminds him its alcoholic. Dill says it’s not and that its only soda. Mr. Raymond told them that he does this for an explanation of his lifestyle. He does this to hide the fact that he prefers to date and In this case marry black women. When the kids return to the courtroom, Atticus is closing. He said that the is no medical evidence of this and that bob ewell beat Mayella rather that tom. Atticus begs the jury to understand that not all black people are evil. At the end of the chapter Calpurnia walks in…
Chapter 21 title: Supper Time :-( Chapter 22 title: A Time of Thanks Chapter 23 title: Boo's Mystery, Revealed?
Chapter 21: Calpurnia walks in and hands Atticus a note. It says his children have not been home since noon. Mr. Underwood told them he saw them in the colored balcony since one in the afternoon. The kids need to go eat and then they can return to the trial. The kids rush home, eat and quickly return to find the court has not been started up again yet. The jury then puts in their votes on who’s guilty and leave.
Chapter 22: The day after the trial the black population delivers loads of food to Atticus thanking him. Miss Crawford tries to talk to Jem and scout about the trial but Miss Maudie pulls them out of the conversation. Jem says to her how the Macomb people seemed perfect and wonderful, but now, he’s beginning to think not. Miss Maudie also points out that the judge did hire someone more flexible with races. She says the Gov’t is showing a sign of progress in the race relations. Chapter 23: The treats that Bob made at the end of chapter 22 are worrying everyone but Atticus. He has no fear that anything bad will happen. Scout asks what will happen to Tom if he is guilty and the answer is he will be sent to the electric chair. Jem asks how all twelve men convicted tom. An Atticus reply by saying that a white man’s words always beat a black mans words. Scout announces that she wants to have Walter Cunningham over and Aunt Alexandria says it’s not right for the family to have “trash” over. Scout gets mad and takes Jem to the bedroom. Jem talks how he is going to try out for football, and the kids talk a little more. Suddenly Jem has an idea: what if Boo doesn’t come out of his house because he doesn’t want to!
Chapter 24: It is now August and aunt Alexandria is having tea with her friends and scout. Then Atticus calls Aunt Alexandria to the kitchen. He tells her, scout, Calpurnia, and Miss Maudie that Tom attempted to escape prison and was shot seventeen times. Atticus takes Calpurnia to tell the Robinsons of the horrible tragedy. The remaining people return to pretend nothing happened. Chapter 25: Scout goes to smash a bug in the house when Jem told her not to. She put it outside and asks why. He said it didn’t hurt her. She notices he is the one who is becoming more like a girl. Scout remembers when Jem and dill went with Atticus to tell Toms wife of his death and how she collapsed before she even found out that he was dead. Mr. Underwood wrote a long article on how an innocent man was killed. And Bob Ewell is heard saying that tom’s death made one down, 2 to go. Chapter 26: Schools starts again and Jem and Scout start to pass the Radley house every day. They aren’t afraid of the house but they still want to see boo just once. When Scouts new teacher miss Gates talks about the Holocaust, she says how wrong it was to kill the Jews, however Scout doesn’t understand why she can say that when she said in the summer that finally the whites taught the blacks a lesson in town. When Scout asks Jem about this he gets mad and says he doesn’t want to talk about the trial again. Scout went to Atticus to calm down.
Chapter 27 Title: Suspicions With Bob Chapter 28 Title: Bob Ewell, Dead Chapter 29 Title: Boo Radley?
Chapter 27: It’s October and Judge Taylor hears something or someone sneaking around. When he goes to look, he sees his door open and a shadow walking away. Bob Ewell also begins to follow Helen to work; he then starts whispering mean things to her too. Deas sees Mr. Ewell and threatens to have him arrested if he doesn’t leave her alone. These things worry aunt Alexandria who sees that everyone connected with the incident is having trouble with Bob. Jem then brings Scout to her school to keep the children out of mischief. Atticus and Aunt Alexandria are too tired to go. Chapter 28: Scout was supposed to go out on stage for the play her school is doing, yet she fell asleep and missed her part. She came out running at the end and the teacher was mad at her. The kids were embarrassed so they went home after everyone else left. On their way home, Jem heard noises behind him and scout. They thought it was Cecil trying to scare them but when they called his name he didn’t answer. The person following them then began to run after them. When Jem screamed for scout to run she fell due to her costume. Scouts mesh costume ripped and she heard Jem dragging her to the road nearby. She heard a crunch sound and Jem screamed. She ran toward him and she was squeezed. The thing or person that attacked her was pulled away by something or someone once again; scout felt for Jem but only finds an unshaved whisky scented man. She walked home and found a figure carrying Jem when it passed a streetlamp. The doctor, Dr. Reynolds comes and so does Heck Tate. Atticus tells them that his son was attacked by someone. Dr. Reynolds says Jem has a broken arm and a bump on his head but he will be okay. When scout goes to visit Jem in his room, she finds the man that saved them she doesn’t recognize him. Heck Tate comes back and says that Bob Ewell was lying under a tree, dead, with a knife stuck under his ribs. Chapter 29: When scout tells everyone what she heard and saw, Heck Tate shows her costume with a slash on it where the metal mesh saved her from being cut. When scout looks at that man closer she notices it was Boo Radley.
Chapters 30 + 31 this was a good book by the way towards the end. It gets exciting.
Chapter 30 Title: The suspect Chapter 31 Title: The End
Chapter 30: Scout took Boo down to the porch and they sat and listened Atticus and Heck Tate argue how Jem killed Bob. Well Heck Tate knows that Boo did it but he doesn’t want to make Jem look bad for something he didn’t do. He also doesn’t want Boo’s life to be disturbed from the incident either. Heck said Ewell fell on his knife and that the man responsible for killing an innocent man is now dead. Chapter 31: Scout took Boo upstairs to say goodnight to Jem and then she walked him home. He went inside, and she never saw him again. Atticus read Scout a story until she fell asleep.
Chapter 15- Visitors Heck Tate and some other men come to the Finch house to talk to Atticus. They came to talk about Tom Robinson and how he has to be moved to the Maycomb Jail. Atticus and Aunt Alexandra have been fighting all the time about the trial. That night, Atticus takes the car downtown and sits in front of the Maycomb Jail. Dill, Jem and Scout follow Atticus down there, even though he told them not to come. When Atticus was sitting outside of the jail, a different set of men come in cars and surround Atticus. Scout gets scared and runs out of her hiding spot and tries to protect Atticus. Scout recognizes Mr. Cunningham. Later on they all go back home.
Chapter 16- The Trial The trial begins. Everyone from all over the county comes to the court room. Jem, Dill and Scout try to sneak into the courtroom so Atticus wouldn’t se them. They went too late and there were no more seats left so they sat up on the balcony where the black people were required to sit. They could see the whole courtroom, the trial began.
Chapter 17- Innocent or Guilty? Mr. Gilmer, the prosecutor, questions Heck Tate about the night that Mayella, Bob Ewells’s daughter, got “raped” by Tom Robinson. Heck finds Mayella bruised and beaten to the right side of her face. Bob Ewell is called to the stand. Bob says that he was outside when he heard his daughter being raped. He sees that his daughter is alright and runs for the sheriff. Atticus asks why he didn’t call a doctor and discovered that Bob is left handed.
Chapter 18- Mayella's Story Mayella is called to the stand and is questioned by Atticus. Mayella thinks that Atticus is mocking her but he is really just being polite. She said that Tom Robinson took advantage of her and choked her and hit her. Atticus tried to get Mayella to admit that there was no rape and it was her father that hit her. After an overwhelming amount of questions, Mayella burst into tears and refused to answer and more questions. Mr. Underwood sees Scout and Jem up in the balcony but Jem reassures Scout that he wouldn’t tell Atticus. Atticus calls Tom to the stand, his only witness.
Chapter 19- Tom Robinson Tom passes the Ewell house every day on his way home from doing farming and yard work. Mayella always asks Tom to do little chores for her around the house because he said he feels bad for her. No one was home and Mayella asked Tom to fix the door inside. He said nothing was wrong with the door. She asked him to do another chore and before he knew it she was hugging him and trying to kiss Tom. This is when Mr. Ewell came to the window, and Tom fled. Tom also works for Mr. Link Deas and he said that Tom has not caused one bit of trouble in the 8 years he worked for Deas. Tom continued to be questioned by Mr. Gilmer and Dill literally got sick from all the nonsense of Negros being treated unfairly. Dill and Scout leave the courtroom and encounter Mr. Dolphus Raymond.
Chapter 20- What Way to Go Mr. Dolphus tells Dill and Scout why he pretends to be drunk all the time. He says its so that other white people have a reason to see why he prefers black people over white. When the kids return, Atticus is making his final remarks and telling the jury that there isn’t even any medical evidence to prove that Tom raped Mayella. Atticus thinks that Mayella is a lonely girl and that Bob raped her, not Tom. Atticus makes a speech that all men are equal, black or white, and pleads with the jury to let Tom go. When Atticus finishes, Calpurnia walks into the courtroom.
Chapter 21- Missing! Aunt Alexandra sends Calpurnia with a note that the children have been missing all day. Mr. Underwood tells Atticus that the children are up in the colored balcony. And he tells them to go home with Cal and eat supper slowly. They beg him to let them come back to hear the verdict, which ends up being guilty. Atticus leaves the courtroom and Jem is absolutely outraged at how unfair that is. When Atticus leaves the courtroom the upper balcony stands as a sign or respect.
Chapter 22- Recompense for Attempting Justice The next morning Cal discovers so much food from the black population thanking Atticus, he was overwhelmed with joy. When the three were outside Miss Maudie tried to ask the kids questions all about the trial and how it went. Miss Maudie says that there were so many people trying to help Tom and that Atticus was given that case for a reason. Later on, Miss Stephanie tells Miss Maudie and the kids that Atticus had been accused by Bob Ewell.
Chapter 23- Idle Threats? Bob Ewell makes what Atticus seems to be an idle threat of revenge. Meanwhile, Tom Robinson gets moved to another prison where he has to stay until his appeal passes. Atticus was discussing with Jem what happens if he loses and all about the Jury. Jem thinks that this is totally unfair for them to do this to Tom. On of the jurors that wanted to let Tom go was one of the Cunninghams. Scout wanted to invite Walter to dinner but Aunt Alexandra refused. Scout infuriated, Jem takes her up to his room and they talk for a long time, about everything. Jem says that after all this he sees why Boo Radley stays in his house.
Chapter 24- An Unfair Fight Aunt Alexandra had a bunch of ladies over for tea. After awhile Atticus comes into the room with a terrified face and calls Aunt Alexandra to the kitchen and relayed the news to Cal, Alexandra and Scout that Tom had tried running and he was shot. Cal and Atticus go to tell Heather, Tom’s wife, that he was dead. Alexandra returns to the ladies like nothing is wrong but then after asks Miss Maudie why Atticus is given such a tough job.
Chapter 25- Old News... The three children go with Cal and Atticus to tell Mrs. Robinson the news. They see her collapse. Jem s showing signs of being a girl according to Scout but I personally think that he is showing signs of maturity. Tom’s death is only a big deal for about two days then it’s old news. Some people think that this was the death of an innocent man but other people think, like Mr. Ewell, that it’s just another black man down…
Chapter 11- Payback Jem and Scout were walking by Mrs. Dubose's house one day when she said to Jem that his father is no better then the niggers and trash he works for. Jem completely lost his temper and destroyed her camilla flowers. As punishment, he had to read to her for a month. While he was reading, at a cretain times she has fits. They progressively get longer each time and eventually after she dies. It turns out that she was trying to get over her addiction to morphine. Jem receives a gift from her; its a white camilla.
Chapter 12- New Experiences Jem wants Scout to leave him alone. Summer comes but Dill doesn't. Cal takes the kids to her church. They got looked at. Church took up a collection for Tom Robinson's wife. Aunt Alexandra was waiting for them to come home and she was not very happy.
Chapter 13- Change Aunt Alexandra is trying to make some drastic changes in the Finch house. She is staying to give the house a more feminine influence. She also thinks that Jem and Scout aren't representing the Finch name too well. She tells Atticus that he should talk to them and accidently made scout cry.
Chapter 14- Unexpected supprises Aunt Alexandra doesn't want Scout or Jem going back to Cal's church. They become the talk of the town as the Tom Robinson case is approaching. Jem thinks that Scout is being disrespectful to Aunty and tells her to stop. Later on Scout finds Dill under her bed. He had snuck to Maycomb. He wasn't getting enough attention at home. Scout was thrilled
Chapter 9: A Common Courtesy In the beginning we find a boy named Cecil Jacobs has just insulted Scout tremendously. He had called Atticus some very choice things about who he has chosen to defend. And after a rather wise chat with Atticus, she has her first time walking away from a fight. Later on, they head off to a Christmas party. Scout complains atr how she can’t sit at the adult’s table with Jem, it’s no good. And like with all the other doubtful people, their cousin, Francis comments scornfully on Atticus’s current job. Also pushing buttons, he calls Dill a runt. Scout attaks Francis and recieving a spanking from Uncle Jack. Later, she tells Jack what had happened. Jack is furious, but vows not to tell Atticus. Scout then overhears Jack and Atticus discussing Tom R. S.G.
In chapter 14, I would call it, "Unexpected Visitor." I'd name it this because Jem and Scout got in a fight and they were sent to their room, for doing do. When Scout was in her room, she heard a noisw, and then saw Dill under her bed. He was there because he didn't like how he was being treated at home. Scout was proud and suprised at the same time to see Dill.
In chapter 15, a good title would be, "Warning to Atticus." I named it this because in this chpater, Mr. Heck Tate and some of his friends showed up at Atticus's house, to talk. They told him that Tom Robinson was in jail. Mr. Heck Tate also warned Atticus that there might be trouble in the future, which is what Atticus did not want. That is why I called the chapter "Warning to Atticus." Z.R
Chapter 26- Phony? The Radley house still looks the same, except Scout isn't scared of it anymore. At school, Scouts class was learning out Hitler & how he was cruel and unfair to Jews. But then, she wonders why she is talking about finally doing something about blacks walking out of the courtroom. Scout asks Jem but Jem doesn't want to talk about the case at all anymore. Scout goes to Atticus and Atticus tells her that he has been having a rough time and he needs to think.
Chapter 27- Unnecessary Vengence Bob Ewell is now blaiming, what seems like anyone and everyone that is connected to the Tom Robinson case, for whatever is wrong with him at the time. He has been sneaking around judge Taylor's house and he has also, witnessed by Link Deas, been harassing Helen Robinson. Deas threatens Bob to be thrown in jail if he bothers her again. Meanwhile, Aunt Alexandra is very worried about everything that is going on. Later, Scout has a play, is is almost Halloween. Scout dresses up as a ham and Aunty and Atticus are too tired to go, so Jem takes Scout and watches her play.
Chapter 11: Countdown to Camellia Almost every day on their way to the business district, Scout and Jem pass by Mrs. Dubose’s house. She is a grumpy and judge mental old women. She was always saying things to Scout and Jem that they RESENTED. One day she crossed the lime by saying that Scout would end up as a waitress and never end up anywhere, also putting Atticus’s name in vain. A frustrated Jem, takes his sister’s baton and brakes it while also destroying Mrs. Dubose’s pretty white Camellias. And as punishment must go read to Mrs. Dubose every day for a month and read to her. Less than a month after the punishment is complete, she dies. Atticus said she had a morphine addiction, Jem was her only distraction. He later receives a box from Mrs. Dubose( through the means of her maid.) in it lies a single white Camellia. S.G.
I think a good title for chapter 16, would be "Sneaking in." I think this is a good title because this chapter is when everyone is heading to the court house for the trail.Dill, Scout, and Jem try to sneak in the court house to see what Atticus is up to.
A good title for chapter 17 is,"Trail in Session." This is when the trail starts, and Mr. Ewell explains what happened that day.
Chapter 10: One dog, one shot, one respect Scout and Jem learn that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This means that you can’t or shouldn’t do harm to something or someone that does no harm to you or anyone else, because it is unforgivable. In this chapter the children discuss how old and useless Atticus is. But later when a ‘mad dog’ makes its way down the street, they come to find something new about their father. To save the neighborhood, Atticus is given a riffle by the sheriff and asked to shoot. Claiming Atticus to be the best shot in Maycomb. He then shoots from an unbelievable distance and the children are told by someone that he was once known as “One-shot Finch”. Scout wants to brag but the newly maturing Jem tells her that if Atticus wanted them to know then he would have already told them. So she respectably keeps quiet. S.G.
el 23- in this chapter mr ewell threatedns atticus. also scout wants to invite walter over but aunt alexandra says he' "trash" scout disnt understand why she thinks this and gets mad 24- ain this chapter aunt alexandra has her group over and they talk once they go into the dining room for snacs scout joins them and tries to be a ladie for her aunt ... later aticus comes home and tells alexandra to come inthe kitchen and tells her how tom tried to fun away but was shot so him and calpurnia go to console toms mom

29- scout tells them what happened
30- scaout meets boo. the sherif tells atticus jem didnt kill him but he dosnt belive him and they go back and forth untill atticus acepts mr ewlell fell on his knife and died
31- scous escorts boo home and on her way back on the porch she thinks about all the radlyes would have seen from there
I think a good title for chapter 20 is,"Finishing Up." I am calling it this, because Atticus was saying his final remarks, defending Tom Robinson. He was saying that there was no proof that he raped the girl and that a balck man wouldn't do anymore than a white man.
For chapter 21, a good title would be "Go Home." I would call it this because Aunt Alexzandria realizes that the children are gone, and Atticus finds out that they were on the balcony. Atticus tells them to go home with Calipurnia and to eat. The children were also mad because they couldn't stay to watch the ending of the trail.
Chapter 12: STAR CROSSED BELIEFS Calpurnia takes the kids to the ‘colored’ church (First Purchase). It is very poor and a little run down but the people make the best of it that they can by singing and dancing. A women, Lula, criticizes Calpurnia for bringing white children into a colored church. But everyone else including Reverend Sykes. They all honor Tom Robinson and his wife, Helen. Fore they have been shamed. Tom has been accused by Bob Ewell of rape and is going to jail. Scout doesn’t understand why anyone would listen to Bob. The children arrive home to find Aunt Alexandra awaiting them. S.G.
For chapter 23, I would call it "Not Fair." I' d call it this because Tom Robinson was guilty, but the majority of the reason he was guilty is that he was African American. Jem was very upset because Tom was guilty and because he couldn't stay for the ending of the trail.
In chapter 23, a good title would be,"Off to Prison," because Tom Robinson is sent off to a different prison.
okay well i did like 3 entries but i dont remember which ones i did i think they were 9,10, and 11 but i cant find them so ill start off at 12... :)
chapter titles: 12-First Purchase 13-Aunt Alexandra 14-Welcome Back Dill 15-Were's Attikus? 16-Trial: Day 1 17-Mr.Ewell 18-Mayella
-Chapter 12 is important because it talks about how Jem is getting older and he is getting harder to handle. Also it talks about how Calpurnia took Jem and Scout to a colored church. -Chapter 13 is important because it is when Aunt alexandria moves in with the family because Attikus thinks that he needs help raising the kids beause they are getting older. -Chapter 14 is important because it is when Scout finds Dill under her bed. He ran away because he didnt like his new dad so he ran away and came to Maycomb. -Chapter 15 is important because it is were Jem, Scout and Dill go and find Attikus who is with a bunch or people. Scout runs up and says hi to Attikus but then realizes she doesnt know any of the men that are with Attikus except for Mr.Cunningham. -Chapter 16 is important because this is when the trial begins. Also when Jem, Dill, and Scout go up and sit in the colored balcony because there are no seats doenstairs. They sit with Reverend Skyes. -Chapter 17 is important because this is when Attikus talks to Mr.Ewell at the trial. He has him sign his name and notices he is a lefty and he belives that he raped Mayella because her right side was beat up. -Chapter 18 is important because Attikus talks to Mayella at the trial. He is supposeivly "mocking" her but he isnt. He gets out of her what Tom Robinson supposivitly did to her.
Chapter 28- Attacker On the way to school Cecil jumps out and scares Jem and Scout. Scout walks with Cecil to the school and goes to the haunted house, then the play begins. Scout falls asleep in her ham costume and misses her entrance. She runs out at the end, the crowd laughing and accused of ruining the play. When Scout and Jem are walking home, Jem said he hears shounds, but they keep walking. They are almost home by now when they hear not walking but running. Jem screams for scout to "run!". Jem was struggling with whoever was attacking them But jem breaks free, the first time. Almost to their street Jem then gets pulled back again. The attacker ends up breaking Jem's arm and scout, farther ahead is trying to search for her brother where she finds not her brother but an older man with the smell of whiskey [that is lying dead]. She sees in the streetlight a man carrying her brother into their house. Aunty and Atticus are so worried now & they are mad because now someone is after their children. Aunt Alexandra calls Dr. Reynolds and then Atticus calls Heck Tate. Jem is badly injured but everyone is shocked when Heck delivered the news that Bob Ewell is lying dead in the street with a knife in his ribs.
Chapter 29- Telling the Story. Scout is telling her side of the story and what she remembers. She was telling about the part where Jem was picked up and carried home when she finally looks at the man standing in the corner of the room. She takes a really good look at him, skinny, pale, ripped clothes. he flashes a timid smile and then she realized that it was Boo Radley.
Chapter 30- Intense Discussions While listening to Heck and Atticus argue, Boo, (Arthur) Radley and Scout sit on the porch and talk. Atticus and Heck were arguing because Atticus thinks that Jem stabbed Ewell but Heck is denying it. Atticus doesn't want Jem to have specil treatment with the law. Meanwhile, Heck knows that Boo really was the one that killed Bob Ewell, he ddnt fall on his knife or Jem didn't stab him. Heck is trying to keep everything quiet because he doesn't want to draw attention to Boo Radly, he doesnt need it.
Chapter 31- Learning not to Judge In this chapter, Scout takes boo upstairs to say goodbye to Jem as he slept. She then escorted him home and as he closed the door she never saw him again. She imagened things from Boo's perspective and realized he wasn't really that bad of a person and that you can't judge a person. As Scout drifted off to sleep she learned one of the most valuable lessons of her life.
Chapter 13: Ancestory Aunt Alexandra tells the children her reason for staying, she wants to create a feminine influence. She is proud of the Finch's and spends plenty of time discussing the characteristics of the various families in Maycomb. She wants Atticus to educate his children on the Finch's family history. He tries but only makes Scout cry. S.G.
Chapter 15: A Close Encounter of the Murderous Kind A week later a group of men show up one evening, led by sheriff Heck Tate. Possibility of a Lynch mob have risen (what is a lynch mob?). Jem explains that he heard Atticus and Alexandra arguing that by helping Tom Robinson, he is bringing disgrace to the family. The next evening, Atticus is followed in secret by Jem, Scout, and Dill into town at about 10:00p.m. And hide as he sits outside the Maycomb jail. Four cars drive up and men step out asking Atticus to move from the door, he refuses, Scout comes running up and realizes that the group of men is different, he has 15 sec to get his children to leave. She notices Walter Cunningham and dicusses his son and financial probblems, ashamed the men leave. Mr. Underwood, the news editor, comes out of the window telling Atticus he was ready to help him if needed. Hey all go home. S.G.
Chapter 14: A Spiritual Loss and a Sympathetic Gain The trail impending begins to infect the lives of the Finch's. Scout and Jem become the objects of whispers and glances in the town. Atticus and Alexandra find out about the little trip to Cal's curch, Alexandra forbids Scout to go nd tries to rid of Cal. Later Scout attacks Jem for lecturing her on not antagonizing Alexandra. And much after that at bed time Scout finds something or rather someone under her bed, it is Dill. He has run away because his mother and father(new) wouldn't pay enough attention to him. Atticus comes to know and then feeds Dill. Going to sleep in Jem's bed but later goes and talks to Scout. S.G.

Jem, Scout and Dill slip into the black balcony to watch the trial, Reverand Sykes lets them in. Judge Taylor, a white-haired old man with a reputation for running his court in an informal fasion, presides over the case. S.G.
Chapter 17: FRAMED The prosecuter, Mr. Gilmer, questions Heck Tate, who recounts how on the night of November 21, Bob Ewell told him about what had happened to his daughter. He had said that Mayella was bruised and beaten and accused Tom Robinson. Surprisingly, they had called no doctor, the bruses mostly on the right side of her face. Then Bob is called, an extremly rude man, he said he was coming out of the woods with kindling wood when he heard his daughter scream, witnessed the crime and called for the sheriff. Apparently a doctor was too expensive and not needed. Atticus believes that a LEFT handed man could bruise only the right side of a women's face, Bob is left handed. S.G.
Chapter 18: Confontations mayella comes to the stand, she is nineteen and terrified. Apparently she had called up Tom and offered him a nickel to break a dresser for her, she claims that he took advantage of her. She confesses that she has seven unhelpful siblings, a druken father, and no friends. Atticus is stumped and questions why her screams didn't summon the other children, why there was hardly any fight, and most of all how Tom could have left bruises when his left hand had been mutilated in his younger days. She refuses to drop her claims and bursts out in tears. Meanwhile Mr. Underwood notices the children up in the balcony.They do not fear that he will tell Atticus but might include it in a social section of the paper. Atticus calls one witness,Tom Robinson. S.G.
Chapter 19: Catalyst-Hearted Confessions Tom testifies that he always passed the Ewell house on the way to work and tat Mayella often ased him to do her chores for her. On the evening questioned, she asked him inside and fix a door, he noticed the other children were gone. He said that she said she had given them money to go out and buy ice cream. Then she asked him to take down a box from a dresser. While he was on a latter, she grabbed his legs scaring him, so he jumped down. He said that she wanted him to kiss her. Her father appears at the window and calls mayella names and threatened to kill her. Tom ran. Link Deas declares that Tom never gave him any trouble, for the outburst he was sent out of the courtroom. Mr. Gilmer gets Tom to admit that he is quite capable of using a mere one hand to choke and sling a women to the floor. Also asking wht Tom helped Mayels with her chores and Tom declares he was feeling sorry for her. And in Maycomb black people weren't supposed to feel sorry for white people. He is declared a liar and Dill begins to cry, so Scout takes him out of the courtroom. They are upset with how Gilmer is acting. Out there they encounter Mr. Dolphus Raymond. S.G.
Chapter 20: Do Not Fire at Will Scout and Dill discover that Mr. Dolphus is drinking from a paper sack, and offers Dill a sip, it turns out to be Cola. It turns out that he pretends to be drunk so people would ‘fakely’ understand his chosen lifestyle (He prefers black people to whites.). As Scout and Dill return to the courtroom, Atticus is finnishing his statements. He believes that the witnesses are unreliable becauise there was no medical evidance of the crime and suggests that Bob had beaten Mayella himself. Atticus tells them to put away their preconcieved views of blacks and bring justice by freeing Tom. Calpurnia enters the courtroom. S.G.
Chapter 21: Revelations Are No Resolutions To The Reveloution Cal tells Atticus that the children havn’t been home since noon, Mr. Underwood confirms their location in the balcony. They are told to return home after supper. After a quick bite they go back to the courtroom, still crowded. Night comes and Dill falls fast asleep, at about 11:00p.m the jury returns. Scout noticed that they entered and difd not look at Tom. She knows that a jury never looks at a man it convicts… Atticus walks out and the people in the balcony rise in a gesture of respect. S.G.
Chapter 23: Red Rose Revolver Bob Ewell's threats are worrisome to everyone but Atticus. Atticus tells Scout and Jem that Ewell does this for making him look like a fool. So he believes this was a good way to get out his vengefulness, and expects no more trouble. Tom, on the other hand, has been sent away to prison while his appeal winds through the court system. And if he loses he will end up in the electric chair. Because a white man's word always beats out a black man's. Later Scout and Jem talk, he tells Scout he will try out for the football team next year. And also discovers why Boo doesn't want to come out of the house. Because of the cruel and terrible world. S.G.

Her thoughts go back to a time when Dill told her about when he and Jem went with Atticus to accompany him to the Robinson's household.

Embarassed Scout and Jem wait till everyone goes home before leaving. On the way home, Jem gets suspicious of the noises coming from behind them.

~Chapter 9~
ReplyDeleteAn appropriate title for this title could be; A Holiday at Finch's Landing.
I chose this for my title because throughout most of this chapter Scout spends most of her time explaining Finch's Landin and the events that occur while she is there for the Christmas holiday. A few main events that happen during this chapter are; When Scout uses innappropriate language in front of Uncle Jack and when Francis calls Atticus a Negro- Lover (in a worse context). Uncle Jack shows his distaste for a young lady speaking with such disrespectful words and tells scout that she will not be a very propper lady if she continues to say such words. When Francis calls Atticus a Negro-Lover (still in worse context)more than once in fact, Scout proceeds to lose control of her anger and she punches Francis in the face. She then gets blamed for starting the whole fight. This is why i believe that " The Holiday at Finch's Landing" is a sufficient title for chapter 9.
Chapter 9:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Anger
Scout was getting real mad when Francis was calling Atticus a negro-lover. She didn't know what it meant exactly but by the way he said it, she knew that it wasnt good. She was also angry that her Aunt Alexandria thought that Francis was innocent and put all the blame on her.
I chose this title because throught the whole chapter, Scout was mad that she was being blamed and she was angry that Francis was found innocent.
K.T.
Chapter 10:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Old
Scout was fussing about how Atticus being 50, he couldn't do anything active that the kids wanted to do and all he would do was read. The kids saw the old town dog named Tim Johnson. The dog looked madd so after the kids told Calpurina, she told everyone and Atticus came with a sheriff and shot the dog. Scout was going to tell everyone about her father's accuracy but Jem was moved back by this whole thing and told her not to say anything because they were both gentelmen.
I chose this title because everything in this chapter is refered to as being old.
K.T
Chapter 11,
ReplyDeleteTitle: The New Enemy
Jem had hated Mrs.Dubose. One day after having enough of her name calling towards his father, he trashed her flowers. As a punishment he had to read to her everyday. She would have these fits because she was old and sick. Later, she called Jem's father to create her will and minutes after finishing, she died.
I chose this title because before the ids would not leave boo Radley alone but now Jem and Scout are going after Mrs.Dubose.
K.T
Chapter 12:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Changes
Jem is getting older and according to Scout he is moody and he doesn't want to be with her and she doesn't understand why. Calpurnia tells Scout that anytime she is bored, she can go into the kitchen and they will find stuff to do. Calpurnia takes Jem and Scout to her church. Scout can't help but question why they don't have books and why the reverend reads and they follow. She is also confused with the changed scenery and environment she is now in.
I chose this title because there are many changes that the kids are going through with age and scenery.
K.T
Chapter 13:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Aunt Alexandria
Jem and Scout came home to find their Aunt Alexandria on their front porch. She demanded that Calpurnia take her bags. For the life of them, they couldn't figure out what she was doing here. Later, she had talked to Atticus and told him that the kids needed to realize the importance of the Finch family name and they had to start acting like the lady and gentleman that they were.
I chose this chapter title because they came home to their Aunt on their porch and the whole chapter was mainly about her being at their house.
K.T
Chapter 14:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Surprises
Aunt Alexandria was fighting back with Atticus about Scout's behavior and nobody fought back with him. Jem had also gotten into a fight with Scout over him telling her what to do. Dill also had later showed up hiding under Scout's bed. He had run away from home and ended up at their house.
I chose this chapter title because this chapter is just filled with new things from the fights to Dill showing up.
K.T
Chapter 15:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Escaping
Jem, Scout, and Dill all snuck out of the house to go see where Atticus was at. once they found the location, they didn't know anyone. They were told to leave but they didn't. They just stood there frozen.
I chose this title because basically, all the kids did was sneak past Aunt Alexandria to g to Atticus.
K.T
Chapter 16,
ReplyDeleteTitle: Court Case
Jem and Scout sneak into the court room to find the judge half asleep, Atticus with no papers or folders while the opposing side has a stack of information.
I chose this chapter title because throught the whole chapter, Jem and Scout were talking about Tom's case.
K.T
For chapter 12, I would name it "Unknown Age." I choose this title because it talks about Calpurnias life and how she doesn;t know her birthday, so she celebrates it on Christmas. She says she ages fast since she can't read. Also she said that colored folks don't show thier age as much, so not many people would know her age. That is why my title for chapter 12 is "Unknown Age." Z.R
ReplyDeleteChapter 17:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Case Day
It's the day of the case and they are explainging how things happened to the judge. It seems that Atticus is really pushing the witnesses for answers. He will repeat the same question to see if it is their final answer or if they are lying. The witnesses seem very nervous and Tom Robbinson and Atticus both seem very cool and collected. About half way through the chapter, the Reverand advises Jem to send Scout and Dill home but he objects saying that it doesn't matter because they dont understand anything that is going on anyway. Then, later on, the judge makes an announcment that all children and women should leave the court room.
I chose this chapter title because throught the whole chapter, they were syaing what was taking place in the court room.
K.T
Chapter 18:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Victim
Atticus was interrogating Mayella Ewell. He was trying to get everything he could out of her. She was crying for real and she was shedding fake tears. Sometimes she would mess her whole story line up. Jem pointed out to the Reverend that Tom was crippled. His left arm was a few inches shorter than the right. What Atticus was getting to was was how could the other Ewell children not hear her screams and how could Tom do the thing he is accused of doing when he has no use of his left arm.
I chose this chapter title because throughout this chapter, the "victim" was being questioned and this whole chapter was about her.
K.T
Chapter 19:
ReplyDeleteTitle: The Guilty
Tom Robinson is asked many questions about why he was in the fenced area. He said he didn't do anything to Maybell, he said that she had hugged him and kissed him and he tried to move away. He claimed that he didn't want to push her and hurt her so he just tried to walk away but she held onto him. Tom said that Maybel's Dad had saw her through the window and he called her a bad name and said he would kill her. Tom had said that he did no harm to her. He said he ran because he was scared to go to court for something he didn't do. The way the jury was talking to Tom had played an effect on Dill and he didn't like it at all.
I chose this chapter title because this chapter was about Tom's view of the case.
K.T
Chapter 20:
ReplyDeleteTitle: End of Jury
This is the end of the Tom Robinson case. Aticus had stated that Maybell was beaten by her father because Tom was crippled with the arm she was beaten with. He had also said that Maybell's false accusations were to mask up her own guilt for hugging and kissing a black man. Atticus had plead Tom innocent and MAybell guilty for her own actions.
I chose this chapter title because it was the end of the case and according to Attius, Tom was plead innocent.
K.T
Chapter 21:
ReplyDeleteTitle: The end
Calpurnia had gone to the court to hand Atticus a letter written by Alexandria saying that the children had been gone all day. Calpurnia had brought them home and they had to eat supper then they could go back to the court. The case had ended and Atticus had walked out leaving Tom behind.
I chose this title because it was the end of the case and Atticus was leaving so it was all over.
K.T
Chapter 22:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Review
The next morning, Atticus found out by Calpurnia hat there were all gifts left on the back porch from his hard work. Miss Maudie, Miss Stephanie, Miss. Rachel, and Mr. Avery were all talking about the case from yesterday and a new event. They were talking about how when Atticus was in his way to town, Mr. Ewell had spit in his face and told him that he would get him if it took the rest of his life.
chose this chapter title because they were pretty much reviewing everything that was happening.
K.T
For chapter 10, I would title it, "Old But Skilled." I would call it this because it tells about how Atticus is getting old and how he isn't very active anymore. For example, when him and Jem are playing football, he can't tackle Atticus because he says he's too old. Atticus does have a unique talent, and that is making a sharp shot. He showed his skills when Tim Johnson was heading torwards everyone. He was given a rifle and in one shot, the mad dog was gone. That is how Atticus, may be old, to Scout and Jem, but he still has some skill. Z.R.

ReplyDelete9-the finch family- its christmass time and the family comes to visit. during their stay one cousin, francise, makes fun of atticus and scout gets mad and starts a fight. also their uncle jack learns a lesson about parenting from atticus
10-old man atticus- jem and scout realize their dad is getting old and cant do as much as the kids at schools fathers. they begin to think he cant do a thing but then they ask miss maudie and she tells them all the exciting things he can do, also in the end of the chapter he kills a dog in one shot from far away, the kids see this and think its amazing and loose the feeling that they have a boring old father
11-mrs. dubose and down town- jem and scout bigin to get older and leave their meighborhood and go downtown to have some fun. on the way they always run into mrs. dubose and she yells at them, insults them, and their father to this jem gets mad and destroys her lawn. atticus finds out and tells him to apoligise, mrs dubose wants him to read to her every night for punishment, he dose and on the last week of their punishment she dies
For chapter 11, I would call it "Mean Old Dubose," because this chapter tells how Jem had to watch over Mrs. Dubose and she was not polite to Jem or anyone else. Proof is that, Mrs. Dubose is disrespectful. She is disrespectful to Atticus. She starts off by telling Jem, that Atticus is no better than the trash he works for, and she takes Scout and Jem as bad people, because they were walking by her house during school time. She accused them of playing hookie even though they weren't. Mrs. Dubose also had more problems, she was addicted to morphine and she used it too help her sleep. Mrs. Dubose does pass away, soon later after Jem had to watch her, but while she lived, she was a mean person and didn't like to see anyone. Z.R

Chapter 23:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Growing Old
Everyone is obviously growing old of Mr.Cunningham's obnoxious ways. He had spit in Atticus's face and he just walked away. Jem is getting older too. He now takes the responsibility of comforting Scout whenever she needs comfort. Scout is also getting tired of her Aunt Alexandria trying to teach her to be a lady.
I chose this title becasue everyone is growing old in one way or another whether it's with the people they are around or if it is their age.
K.T
Chapter 24:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Cofffee Time
Aunt Alexandria had her friends over for coffee and treats. They talked about various subjects from Scout to themselves. Later during this small gathering, Atticus came home earlier than he was supposed to. He had broke the news to Alexandria, Calpurnia, and Scout that Tom Robinson had been shot. He was exercising and he jumped over the fence and the guards shot him 17 times.
I chose this chapter because the whole time, Alexandria's friends were over for coffee.
K.T
Chapter 25:
ReplyDeleteTitle: Thinking Back
Scout was thinking back to the day Dill left them again. She thought of what he said when you walk to the creek, you can get a cheap ride and go anywhere. She was thinking of the time when Atticus saw Dill and Jem walking and they wanted to go for a ride with him and Calpurnia to Tom's house so Atticus said that was fine only if they stayed in the car.
I chose this title because all through the night, Scout was thinking back to the memory of Dill.

She didn't understand what a dictator was and how much power they have. Scout had asaked Atticus to answer her question and he didn't have an answer so she asked Jem. When she asked him, she had brought up Tom's case and how one person could have so much power. This was a sensitive subject so Scout just let it be.

Chapters 9, 10, 11:
ReplyDelete9 title: Francis, Francis, Francis
10 title: One good Shot!
11 title: Ms. Dubose
Chapter 9: At school, Scout almost starts a fight with her friend Cecil Jacobs after he says that Scout’s dad defends niggers. He was asked to defend a guy named Tom Robinson, the man accused of raping a white woman. It is something that he doesn't want to win, but he told Scout that he must go to it to show justice and self-respect. At Christmas time, Atticus’s brother Jack came to stay with Atticus for a week. Scout usually gets along with Uncle Jack but when he arrives, she begins swearing in front of him. After supper Jack has Scout sit on his lap and he tells her not to swear. On Christmas Day, Atticus takes Jem scout and Jack to Finch’s Landing, an old house where Atticus’s sister Alexandra and her husband live. There, Scout meets Francis, Alexandra’s grandson, who was dropped off at her house for the holiday. Scout thinks Francis is the most boring kid she has ever met. Francis also calls Atticus a “Nigger Lover” and his dad spanked Scout.
Chapter 10: Knowing how old Atticus is said to be from scout and Jem, he sure has quite an aim. When a dog was wandering on the street, Calpurnia called Atticus who came home from work with Heck Tate, the towns Sherriff who asks atticus to shoot the dog. In one shot atticus got the dog. After that miss Maudie told the kids that atticus was the best shooter in the county and she calls him One shot finch.

When she went inside, Atticus was reading to Jem who was asleep. It was called Gray Ghost and Scout was telling Atticus that the only scary things are in books.
I chose this title because she realized at the end of the day that there was nothing wrong with Boo and he really wasn't scary. The kids had just let their imaginations run too wild.
K.T
Chapter 10- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "50." Scout was talking about how Atticus would be turning 50 and making a big deal out of it. Scout was complaining that Atticus would no longer be able to play with them and all he wanted to do was read. One day the kids met the old dog in the neighborhood named Tim Johnson. The kids said the dog was mad so they told Atticus, Atticus told the sheriff, so the sheriff shot the dog.
ReplyDeleteBA
Chapter 11- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Enemies." This is a good chapter title because Jem hated Mrs. Douboise so he felt that he needed to go to her house and trash all of her flowers. Then he got caught and he was forced to read to her because she was old. Shortly after, she died.

Chapter 12- A good chapter title for this chapter would be "Growing Older". This would be a good chapter title because Jem is starting to get older and he is changing. Scout calls him moody because he doesn't want anything to do with her and Scout doesn't know why.

Chapters 12, 13, +14:
ReplyDeleteChapter 12 title: Trouble
Chapter 13 title: Aunt Alexandria
Chapter 14 title: Dill?
Chapter 12: Jem is now twelve and tells Scout to stop bothering him. Dill is not coming south this year because his mom remarried and him mean new father is not letting him go. The state legislatures making Atticus have to go to the state capital every day for two weeks. Calpurnia also decides to bring the kids to her colored church. It was named the first purchase because it was bought with the first earnings of free slaves. The church does greatly accept the white children to pray with them. The church also helps raise money for Helen Robinson, who lost her job when her husband was accused of rape. This is important because scout finds out that Bob Ewell accused Tom… No one can believe the Ewell’s!
Chapter 13: Aunt Alexandria comes over to teach the children proper manners. The townspeople greet her with cakes and coffee, etc. There’s not much that goes on in this chapter other than aunt Alexandria telling them they need to follow their ancestry. After she forces Atticus to talk to them he does nothing but make scout cry.
Chapter 14: In this chapter a lot of things happen. Scout tried to ask Atticus what rape is, and she also brings up the topic of Calpurnias church. Aunt Alexandria tells atticus to get rid of Calpurnia but he says no. Then, comes a fun part of the story: Scout and Jem get into a fight and get sent to their rooms. Scout looks under her bed and finds Dill! He ran away from home because his parents weren’t paying enough attention to him. When Jem tells Atticus, he feeds Dill and allows him to rest.
Chapter 1- "My Past Days"
ReplyDeleteThe Narriator, Jean Louise, or Scout Finch tell us the story about her family and this chapter intrduces the characters. Jem, scouts older brother; Atticus, the children's father; Calpurnia, Motherly figure, takes care of the children (African American); Dill who is Jem and Scout's friend for the summer. And "Boo" Radley who is the 'mysterious man down the street'.
Chapter 2- "Starting School"
Dill goes back when the start of school comes around. Scout is starting school and sh already knows how to read. Her teacher, Miss Caroline does not like that scout already knows how to read. She accuses Atticus of teaching her the wrong way and tells her to stop. When Scout tries to explain to Miss Caroline about Walter's living conditions, she refuses to listen and gets so fed up she slaps Scout with a ruler.
Chapter 3- "Sneaky Plans"
Jem invites Walter over for dinner. Walter talks to Atticus about the farm. At school, Miss Caroline is grossed out by Buris Ewell and his "cooties". She sends him home but it doesn't matter because he only comes to the first day of school anyways. The Ewells are poorer than the Cunninghams. Back at home Scout is very upset that she can't read anymore.. so she doesnt want to go to school. Atticus tells her that if she went to school he would let her keep reading.

Chapters 15, 16, & 17:
ReplyDeleteChapter 15 title: The Maycomb Jail
Chapter 16 title: The trial begins
Chapter 17 title: The Clue
Chapter 15: Atticus’s trial is nearing and he goes to the Jail in his home town, reading the news as Jem, Dill, and Scout sneak up to spy on him. As they do so, cars surround the jail and a group of men step out of the car. When scout panics and runs out to help with jem and Dill following, one of the men said Atticus had only so long to get the children to leave. Scout found Mr. Cunningham in the group who embarrassed himself by talking to her. As the men cleared out, Mr. Underwood checked with Atticus to make sure everything was alright and the family plus Dill went home.
Chapter 16: when everyone crowds in the courtroom to begin the trial, the only person who doesn’t show up is Mrs. Maudie. She didn’t show up because she thought death sentence trials were cruel. When the kids went to the trial (which they weren’t supposed to be at), they hid towards the back but then were moved up to the balcony.
Chapter 17: The trial begins with Mr. Ewell who begins to describe what happened in the story. When he goes on the say the girl’s body was beaten, he notices bob is a lefty, so, the bruises would be on the right side of Mayella. This clue leads into evidence against Mr. Ewells side of the story. This is just about it for this chapter.
Chapter 9- "Troublemaker Francis"
ReplyDeleteScout almost gets in a fight with Cecil Jacobs. He is a classmate of Scouts. Christmas time comes and the whole Finch family comes together; cousins, aunts, uncles, everyone. Scout is told she needs to deass more like a lady by Aunt Alexandra. Scout later gets in a fight with Francis (Alexandra's grandson) because he called Atticus a nigger-lover. Later on, Uncle Jack learns a valuable lesson about always telling children the truth.
Chapter 10- "Lessons learned from the past"
Jem and Scout got guns for Christmas. They could shoot any bird they wanted too, except a mockingbird. The kids learned that killing a mockingbird was a sin. The mockingbird never did anything to hurt us, it ony makes beautiful music for people to listen to. Atticus was getting old now but he still had incredible aim with a gun. He had to shoot Tom Jonson, the "mad dog" in a difficult position. Back in his day Atticus was called "One-Shot-Finch".

Chapter 13,"Family Visitor."
ReplyDeleteI called the chapter this, because this is when Aunt Alexzandra visits Attiucs, Jem, and Scout. She enters the home with demanding comments like, "put my bag in the front bedroom," to Calipurnia and "Jean Louise, stop scratching your head." She talks to the kids about her history and Maycomb as an ancient town. That is what happens in chapter 13.

As it turns out, Boo isn't a bad person, he just is misconseeved by people on how they think of Boo. He actually isn't a vicious person how many people in Maycomb view him as.

After that, Mayella answered no more questions.
Chapter 19: Tom says he passes the Ewell house every day and that Mayella often asks her to do chores for her. When he was walking by one evening, he said that Mayella asked him to fix a door. There was nothing wrong with that and all the children were gone. She then asked him to lift a box off of her dresser and she grabbed his legs which scared him off the chair he was using to reach up. She then asked him to kiss her. When Mayella did this her father called her names and yelled at her through the window. Later in the trial tom says he felt sorry for Mayella. Mr. Gilmer says that black people aren’t supposed to feel sorry for white women and he is accused of lying. Dill began to cry because of Mr. Gilmers rude treatment to Tom.
Chapter 20: Dill gets offered a sip of a drink from a paper bag from Mr. Raymond. When dill drinks it, scout reminds him its alcoholic. Dill says it’s not and that its only soda. Mr. Raymond told them that he does this for an explanation of his lifestyle. He does this to hide the fact that he prefers to date and In this case marry black women. When the kids return to the courtroom, Atticus is closing. He said that the is no medical evidence of this and that bob ewell beat Mayella rather that tom. Atticus begs the jury to understand that not all black people are evil. At the end of the chapter Calpurnia walks in…

Bob Ewell also begins to follow Helen to work; he then starts whispering mean things to her too. Deas sees Mr. Ewell and threatens to have him arrested if he doesn’t leave her alone. These things worry aunt Alexandria who sees that everyone connected with the incident is having trouble with Bob. Jem then brings Scout to her school to keep the children out of mischief. Atticus and Aunt Alexandria are too tired to go.
Chapter 28: Scout was supposed to go out on stage for the play her school is doing, yet she fell asleep and missed her part. She came out running at the end and the teacher was mad at her. The kids were embarrassed so they went home after everyone else left. On their way home, Jem heard noises behind him and scout. They thought it was Cecil trying to scare them but when they called his name he didn’t answer. The person following them then began to run after them. When Jem screamed for scout to run she fell due to her costume. Scouts mesh costume ripped and she heard Jem dragging her to the road nearby. She heard a crunch sound and Jem screamed. She ran toward him and she was squeezed. The thing or person that attacked her was pulled away by something or someone once again; scout felt for Jem but only finds an unshaved whisky scented man. She walked home and found a figure carrying Jem when it passed a streetlamp. The doctor, Dr. Reynolds comes and so does Heck Tate. Atticus tells them that his son was attacked by someone.

Chapter 15- Visitors
ReplyDeleteHeck Tate and some other men come to the Finch house to talk to Atticus. They came to talk about Tom Robinson and how he has to be moved to the Maycomb Jail. Atticus and Aunt Alexandra have been fighting all the time about the trial. That night, Atticus takes the car downtown and sits in front of the Maycomb Jail. Dill, Jem and Scout follow Atticus down there, even though he told them not to come. When Atticus was sitting outside of the jail, a different set of men come in cars and surround Atticus. Scout gets scared and runs out of her hiding spot and tries to protect Atticus. Scout recognizes Mr. Cunningham. Later on they all go back home.
Chapter 16- The Trial
The trial begins. Everyone from all over the county comes to the court room. Jem, Dill and Scout try to sneak into the courtroom so Atticus wouldn’t se them. They went too late and there were no more seats left so they sat up on the balcony where the black people were required to sit. They could see the whole courtroom, the trial began.
Chapter 17- Innocent or Guilty?
Mr. Gilmer, the prosecutor, questions Heck Tate about the night that Mayella, Bob Ewells’s daughter, got “raped” by Tom Robinson. Heck finds Mayella bruised and beaten to the right side of her face. Bob Ewell is called to the stand. Bob says that he was outside when he heard his daughter being raped. He sees that his daughter is alright and runs for the sheriff. Atticus asks why he didn’t call a doctor and discovered that Bob is left handed.
Chapter 18- Mayella's Story
Mayella is called to the stand and is questioned by Atticus. Mayella thinks that Atticus is mocking her but he is really just being polite. She said that Tom Robinson took advantage of her and choked her and hit her. Atticus tried to get Mayella to admit that there was no rape and it was her father that hit her. After an overwhelming amount of questions, Mayella burst into tears and refused to answer and more questions. Mr. Underwood sees Scout and Jem up in the balcony but Jem reassures Scout that he wouldn’t tell Atticus. Atticus calls Tom to the stand, his only witness.
Chapter 19- Tom Robinson
Tom passes the Ewell house every day on his way home from doing farming and yard work. Mayella always asks Tom to do little chores for her around the house because he said he feels bad for her. No one was home and Mayella asked Tom to fix the door inside. He said nothing was wrong with the door. She asked him to do another chore and before he knew it she was hugging him and trying to kiss Tom. This is when Mr. Ewell came to the window, and Tom fled. Tom also works for Mr. Link Deas and he said that Tom has not caused one bit of trouble in the 8 years he worked for Deas. Tom continued to be questioned by Mr. Gilmer and Dill literally got sick from all the nonsense of Negros being treated unfairly. Dill and Scout leave the courtroom and encounter Mr. Dolphus Raymond.
Chapter 20- What Way to Go
Mr. Dolphus tells Dill and Scout why he pretends to be drunk all the time. He says its so that other white people have a reason to see why he prefers black people over white. When the kids return, Atticus is making his final remarks and telling the jury that there isn’t even any medical evidence to prove that Tom raped Mayella. Atticus thinks that Mayella is a lonely girl and that Bob raped her, not Tom. Atticus makes a speech that all men are equal, black or white, and pleads with the jury to let Tom go. When Atticus finishes, Calpurnia walks into the courtroom.

Chapter 21- Missing!
ReplyDeleteAunt Alexandra sends Calpurnia with a note that the children have been missing all day. Mr. Underwood tells Atticus that the children are up in the colored balcony. And he tells them to go home with Cal and eat supper slowly. They beg him to let them come back to hear the verdict, which ends up being guilty. Atticus leaves the courtroom and Jem is absolutely outraged at how unfair that is. When Atticus leaves the courtroom the upper balcony stands as a sign or respect.
Chapter 22- Recompense for Attempting Justice
The next morning Cal discovers so much food from the black population thanking Atticus, he was overwhelmed with joy. When the three were outside Miss Maudie tried to ask the kids questions all about the trial and how it went. Miss Maudie says that there were so many people trying to help Tom and that Atticus was given that case for a reason. Later on, Miss Stephanie tells Miss Maudie and the kids that Atticus had been accused by Bob Ewell.
Chapter 23- Idle Threats?
Bob Ewell makes what Atticus seems to be an idle threat of revenge. Meanwhile, Tom Robinson gets moved to another prison where he has to stay until his appeal passes. Atticus was discussing with Jem what happens if he loses and all about the Jury. Jem thinks that this is totally unfair for them to do this to Tom. On of the jurors that wanted to let Tom go was one of the Cunninghams. Scout wanted to invite Walter to dinner but Aunt Alexandra refused. Scout infuriated, Jem takes her up to his room and they talk for a long time, about everything. Jem says that after all this he sees why Boo Radley stays in his house.
Chapter 24- An Unfair Fight
Aunt Alexandra had a bunch of ladies over for tea. After awhile Atticus comes into the room with a terrified face and calls Aunt Alexandra to the kitchen and relayed the news to Cal, Alexandra and Scout that Tom had tried running and he was shot. Cal and Atticus go to tell Heather, Tom’s wife, that he was dead. Alexandra returns to the ladies like nothing is wrong but then after asks Miss Maudie why Atticus is given such a tough job.
Chapter 25- Old News...
The three children go with Cal and Atticus to tell Mrs. Robinson the news. They see her collapse. Jem s showing signs of being a girl according to Scout but I personally think that he is showing signs of maturity. Tom’s death is only a big deal for about two days then it’s old news. Some people think that this was the death of an innocent man but other people think, like Mr. Ewell, that it’s just another black man down…

Chapter 11- Payback
ReplyDeleteJem and Scout were walking by Mrs. Dubose's house one day when she said to Jem that his father is no better then the niggers and trash he works for. Jem completely lost his temper and destroyed her camilla flowers. As punishment, he had to read to her for a month. While he was reading, at a cretain times she has fits. They progressively get longer each time and eventually after she dies. It turns out that she was trying to get over her addiction to morphine. Jem receives a gift from her; its a white camilla.
Chapter 12- New Experiences
Jem wants Scout to leave him alone. Summer comes but Dill doesn't. Cal takes the kids to her church. They got looked at. Church took up a collection for Tom Robinson's wife. Aunt Alexandra was waiting for them to come home and she was not very happy.
Chapter 13- Change
Aunt Alexandra is trying to make some drastic changes in the Finch house. She is staying to give the house a more feminine influence. She also thinks that Jem and Scout aren't representing the Finch name too well. She tells Atticus that he should talk to them and accidently made scout cry.
Chapter 14- Unexpected supprises
Aunt Alexandra doesn't want Scout or Jem going back to Cal's church. They become the talk of the town as the Tom Robinson case is approaching. Jem thinks that Scout is being disrespectful to Aunty and tells her to stop. Later on Scout finds Dill under her bed. He had snuck to Maycomb. He wasn't getting enough attention at home. Scout was thrilled

Chapter 9: A Common Courtesy
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning we find a boy named Cecil Jacobs has just insulted Scout tremendously. He had called Atticus some very choice things about who he has chosen to defend. And after a rather wise chat with Atticus, she has her first time walking away from a fight.
Later on, they head off to a Christmas party. Scout complains atr how she can’t sit at the adult’s table with Jem, it’s no good. And like with all the other doubtful people, their cousin, Francis comments scornfully on Atticus’s current job. Also pushing buttons, he calls Dill a runt. Scout attaks Francis and recieving a spanking from Uncle Jack.
Later, she tells Jack what had happened. Jack is furious, but vows not to tell Atticus. Scout then overhears Jack and Atticus discussing Tom R.

Chapters 14 + 15
ReplyDeleteIn chapter 14, I would call it, "Unexpected Visitor." I'd name it this because Jem and Scout got in a fight and they were sent to their room, for doing do. When Scout was in her room, she heard a noisw, and then saw Dill under her bed. He was there because he didn't like how he was being treated at home. Scout was proud and suprised at the same time to see Dill.
In chapter 15, a good title would be, "Warning to Atticus." I named it this because in this chpater, Mr. Heck Tate and some of his friends showed up at Atticus's house, to talk. They told him that Tom Robinson was in jail. Mr. Heck Tate also warned Atticus that there might be trouble in the future, which is what Atticus did not want. That is why I called the chapter "Warning to Atticus."

Chapter 26- Phony?
ReplyDeleteThe Radley house still looks the same, except Scout isn't scared of it anymore. At school, Scouts class was learning out Hitler & how he was cruel and unfair to Jews. But then, she wonders why she is talking about finally doing something about blacks walking out of the courtroom. Scout asks Jem but Jem doesn't want to talk about the case at all anymore. Scout goes to Atticus and Atticus tells her that he has been having a rough time and he needs to think.
Chapter 27- Unnecessary Vengence
Bob Ewell is now blaiming, what seems like anyone and everyone that is connected to the Tom Robinson case, for whatever is wrong with him at the time. He has been sneaking around judge Taylor's house and he has also, witnessed by Link Deas, been harassing Helen Robinson. Deas threatens Bob to be thrown in jail if he bothers her again. Meanwhile, Aunt Alexandra is very worried about everything that is going on. Later, Scout has a play, is is almost Halloween. Scout dresses up as a ham and Aunty and Atticus are too tired to go, so Jem takes Scout and watches her play.

Chapter 11: Countdown to Camellia
ReplyDeleteAlmost every day on their way to the business district, Scout and Jem pass by Mrs. Dubose’s house. She is a grumpy and judge mental old women. She was always saying things to Scout and Jem that they RESENTED. One day she crossed the lime by saying that Scout would end up as a waitress and never end up anywhere, also putting Atticus’s name in vain.
A frustrated Jem, takes his sister’s baton and brakes it while also destroying Mrs. Dubose’s pretty white Camellias. And as punishment must go read to Mrs. Dubose every day for a month and read to her. Less than a month after the punishment is complete, she dies. Atticus said she had a morphine addiction, Jem was her only distraction.
He later receives a box from Mrs. Dubose( through the means of her maid.) in it lies a single white Camellia.

Chpaters 16 + 17
ReplyDeleteI think a good title for chapter 16, would be "Sneaking in." I think this is a good title because this chapter is when everyone is heading to the court house for the trail.Dill, Scout, and Jem try to sneak in the court house to see what Atticus is up to.
A good title for chapter 17 is,"Trail in Session." This is when the trail starts, and Mr. Ewell explains what happened that day.
Chapter 10: One dog, one shot, one respect
ReplyDeleteScout and Jem learn that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This means that you can’t or shouldn’t do harm to something or someone that does no harm to you or anyone else, because it is unforgivable.
In this chapter the children discuss how old and useless Atticus is. But later when a ‘mad dog’ makes its way down the street, they come to find something new about their father. To save the neighborhood, Atticus is given a riffle by the sheriff and asked to shoot. Claiming Atticus to be the best shot in Maycomb.
He then shoots from an unbelievable distance and the children are told by someone that he was once known as “One-shot Finch”. Scout wants to brag but the newly maturing Jem tells her that if Atticus wanted them to know then he would have already told them. So she respectably keeps quiet.

Chapters 20 + 21
ReplyDeleteI think a good title for chapter 20 is,"Finishing Up." I am calling it this, because Atticus was saying his final remarks, defending Tom Robinson. He was saying that there was no proof that he raped the girl and that a balck man wouldn't do anymore than a white man.
For chapter 21, a good title would be "Go Home." I would call it this because Aunt Alexzandria realizes that the children are gone, and Atticus finds out that they were on the balcony. Atticus tells them to go home with Calipurnia and to eat. The children were also mad because they couldn't stay to watch the ending of the trail.
Z.R
Chapter 12: STAR CROSSED BELIEFS
ReplyDeleteCalpurnia takes the kids to the ‘colored’ church (First Purchase). It is very poor and a little run down but the people make the best of it that they can by singing and dancing. A women, Lula, criticizes Calpurnia for bringing white children into a colored church. But everyone else including Reverend Sykes.
They all honor Tom Robinson and his wife, Helen. Fore they have been shamed. Tom has been accused by Bob Ewell of rape and is going to jail. Scout doesn’t understand why anyone would listen to Bob.
The children arrive home to find Aunt Alexandra awaiting them.
S.G.
Chapters 22 + 23
ReplyDeleteFor chapter 23, I would call it "Not Fair." I'
d call it this because Tom Robinson was guilty, but the majority of the reason he was guilty is that he was African American. Jem was very upset because Tom was guilty and because he couldn't stay for the ending of the trail.
In chapter 23, a good title would be,"Off to Prison," because Tom Robinson is sent off to a different prison.

-Chapter 16 is important because this is when the trial begins. Also when Jem, Dill, and Scout go up and sit in the colored balcony because there are no seats doenstairs. They sit with Reverend Skyes.
-Chapter 17 is important because this is when Attikus talks to Mr.Ewell at the trial. He has him sign his name and notices he is a lefty and he belives that he raped Mayella because her right side was beat up.

Chapter 28- Attacker
ReplyDeleteOn the way to school Cecil jumps out and scares Jem and Scout. Scout walks with Cecil to the school and goes to the haunted house, then the play begins. Scout falls asleep in her ham costume and misses her entrance. She runs out at the end, the crowd laughing and accused of ruining the play. When Scout and Jem are walking home, Jem said he hears shounds, but they keep walking. They are almost home by now when they hear not walking but running. Jem screams for scout to "run!". Jem was struggling with whoever was attacking them But jem breaks free, the first time. Almost to their street Jem then gets pulled back again. The attacker ends up breaking Jem's arm and scout, farther ahead is trying to search for her brother where she finds not her brother but an older man with the smell of whiskey [that is lying dead]. She sees in the streetlight a man carrying her brother into their house. Aunty and Atticus are so worried now & they are mad because now someone is after their children. Aunt Alexandra calls Dr. Reynolds and then Atticus calls Heck Tate. Jem is badly injured but everyone is shocked when Heck delivered the news that Bob Ewell is lying dead in the street with a knife in his ribs.
Chapter 29- Telling the Story.
Scout is telling her side of the story and what she remembers. She was telling about the part where Jem was picked up and carried home when she finally looks at the man standing in the corner of the room. She takes a really good look at him, skinny, pale, ripped clothes. he flashes a timid smile and then she realized that it was Boo Radley.
Chapter 30- Intense Discussions
While listening to Heck and Atticus argue, Boo, (Arthur) Radley and Scout sit on the porch and talk. Atticus and Heck were arguing because Atticus thinks that Jem stabbed Ewell but Heck is denying it. Atticus doesn't want Jem to have specil treatment with the law. Meanwhile, Heck knows that Boo really was the one that killed Bob Ewell, he ddnt fall on his knife or Jem didn't stab him. Heck is trying to keep everything quiet because he doesn't want to draw attention to Boo Radly, he doesnt need it.
Chapter 31- Learning not to Judge
In this chapter, Scout takes boo upstairs to say goodbye to Jem as he slept. She then escorted him home and as he closed the door she never saw him again. She imagened things from Boo's perspective and realized he wasn't really that bad of a person and that you can't judge a person. As Scout drifted off to sleep she learned one of the most valuable lessons of her life.
The End.

Then Bob is called, an extremly rude man, he said he was coming out of the woods with kindling wood when he heard his daughter scream, witnessed the crime and called for the sheriff. Apparently a doctor was too expensive and not needed.
