Ashley-Character Emily-Vocab Hannah-Connector & Lit Lum Taylor-Discussion

= Connecter and Lit Luminary = ====Page 221, The jury comes in and not one of them looks at Tom. That usually means that they are not in favor of him. I chose this passage because it is important to the trial and maybe even the outcome of the book. Things may get rough, now that Tom has been convicted. ====

Page 213, Atticus walked in the dining room for breakfast and Calpurnia has lots of good food for Atticus. Calpurnia then mentions that there is a lot more in the kitchen from the community, and Tom’s father. I chose this passage because it just goes to show how much of a “community” they really are. Maycomb shows support and respect for Atticus taking up such a big “load.”

Page 219, Jem was angry because no one was going to step up and say that they are guilty instead of making someone else take the blame for it. I chose this passage because it is not fair just to blame another person because they are not the same race as you. Jem is beginning to make his feelings and opinions heard.

Page 227, ‘Boo stays inside because he wants to,’ is a realization that Jem makes about Boo. He understands that Boo stays inside to keep away from people and their comments. I chose this passage because it shows that Jem is growing up.

Page 226, Jem figures out that it depends on your social status to get you anywhere in Maycomb. It doesn’t matter whether you are Chinese or Cajun, it matters if you have money, class, or the color of your skin. I chose this passage because to show that class matters in Maycomb.
