Chapter 22
5-Although Atticus did not want his children in court, he defends Jem's right to know what has happened. Explain, in your own words, Atticus's reasons for this. (Look at the speech beginning, “This is their home, sister”.
6-Miss Maudie tells Jem that “things are never as bad as they seem”. What reasons does she give for this view?
1-Why does Dill say that he will be a clown when he grows up? Do you think he would keep this ambition for long?
2-This story is set in the 1930s but was published in 1960. Have attitudes to racism remained the same (in the USA and the UK) or have there been any changes (for the better or worse) since then, in your view?
3-Why does Bob Ewell feel so angry with Atticus? Do you think his threat is a real one, and how might he try to “get” Atticus?

ReplyDeleteThere has been great changes with racism since then. For example the US currently has a black president,if it was the 1900's it would have never even had been thought of to have a black president or leader. Racism still surronds us though wether we like it or not, but it just isn't as bad as it use to be. This what i think about racism in present day.
i don't have a question for this chapter : D

ReplyDeleteWhy does Bob Ewell fell so angry with Atticus? Do you think his threat is a real one, and how might he try and "get" Atticus.
ReplyDeleteBob Ewell is so angry with Atticus because Atticus made a foo out of him in front of a bunch of people in the court room. I think that bob Ewell will try and get Atticus back some how. He might try and hurt him or his family when he's not excepting it.
Miss Maudie tells Jem that “things are never as bad as they seem”. What reasons does she give for this view?
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie tells Jem " its never as bad as it seem" because in her perspective she just doesn't want Jem crying about it or anthing happen to Atticus.
1-Why does Dill say that he will be a clown when he grows up? Do you think he would keep this ambition for long?
ReplyDeleteDill says he will be a clown to Jem and Scout because Dill said "There ain't one thing in this world I can do about folks except for laugh, so I am gonna join the circus and laugh my head off." I sort of think Dill will keep his ambition for long because Jem says "You got this all backwards, clowns are sad." But Dill says "Well i am gonna be a new type of clown. I am gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at all of he folks."

ReplyDeleteAtticus feels that the adults have made the world the way that it is and the children have to
learn to live in that world. They can’t hide from it and need to be exposed to it as early as
possible.
