Connector-Ashley Henke
 * 1) As Jem gets older he starts to ignore Scout and act like a grown up. I started doing the same thing to Sophia as I got older, especially at school.
 * 2) Scout, Jem, and Dill go to the court house even though Atticus and Alexandra tell them not to. My friends and I go places out parents don’t want us to go.
 * 3) Scout asks lots of questions to reverend Sykes, so Cal and Jem try to get her to stop embarrassing them. Olivia and Carter ask questions that are awkward, and it is hard to get them to stop.
 * 4) Alexandra comes into the Finch household and thinks she can raise the kids and kick Cal out of the house. It reminds me of __The Plain Truth__ the family didn’t realize how important Ellie was just like Cal.
 * 5) The trial of Thomas Robinson is kind of like the Scottsboro Boys Trial, in each case an African American man was tried for the rape of a lower class white woman.

Literary Luminary-Ashley Henke Pg. 119-Last Paragraph Several of the Colored members of the church welcomed the Finch children because their father was helping with Thomas’ case and Atticus also respected everyone no matter who they were. Pg. 131-Last Paragraph Things were socially acceptable for people in certain families because of who their ancestors or family member’s were. Pg. 137-Paragraphs 3 & 4 Atticus tells Alexandria off because she wants to get rid of Cal. Cal basically raised Jem & Scout, took care of the house, and had Atticus’ respect. Pg. 141-Paragraph 10 Atticus allows Dill to stay with them without even asking for a realistic explanation form Dill. He even puts humor into what he has to say to make Dill feel welcome. Pg. 154-Paragraph 3 Scout targets Walter’s dad about his entailment. Everyone stops and listens to what she has to say. Atticus was surprised and said that the police force should be made up of children because all of them listened to an 8 year old child. Pg. 161-Paragraph 6 Jem explains to Scout that half colored/white people don’t really fit in anywhere because they are neither colored nor white. Society didn’t how to treat them because they didn’t really fit into either group. Pg. 178-Paragraph 5 Scout doubt that Thomas is innocent for a bit. However she thinks that it could have been Tom and not Mayella’s dad for a while.
