questions about the chapters 1-4

1. Define "allusions". What are five examples of an allusion in Chapter 1. Allusions are: Allusion Is a reference to literature, mythology, history, religion, and folklore. One is on page 3 the battle of hastings. The reference that Simon Finch is a Methodist page 4. Hover carts page 5 is basically homeless people. Code of Alabama is law book for Alabama at the time. Dracula is movie that came out at the time.

Chapter 2 Questions

1. Find 3 allusions in this chapter. Write the page numbers for easy retrieval. Answer: Three examples of allusion in chapter 2. One is Tarzan and the ant men, a book popular at the time. On page 17 the “My First Reader” and the “The Mobile Register” are books that were common for first graders to read back then

2. What prejudice is found in Chapter 2? Answer : The prejudice is that the teacher tries to give money to a farm child student who could never pay her back the next day, and the rudeness to scout for informing her about his circumstances, and her further advancement in schooling compared to other students.

Chapter 3 & 4 Questions

1. Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household? Answer : Calpurnia is black woman who works as a cook and sort of like a woman care taker of the house.

2. What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behavior during lunch suggest about his home life? Answer: That his life at home is like a popper in poverty barely hanging on to the bare minimum in the depression.

3. What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter? Answer : Atticus treats walter as a normal guest and he was offered lunch by the family.

4. Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is? Answer: She learns that she should treat other people kindly even if they don't quite follow proper etiquette, and that it is rude to correct a person at the table because they most likely did not know it.

5. Atticus says that you never really understand a person "until you climb into his skin and walk around in it". What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? Answer: Atticus means that you can not understand what a person is understanding or there situation on what is expected until you are in the position that they are. She is able to comprehend this after Atticus explained it to her.

6. What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells? Answer : The Ewells are the poppers of the community more than that of anyone else in the community so much so that there looked at in a different light and held to more lenient rules because of the situation and held to lease exportations

7. Why is Scout so looking forward to starting school? Answer: She is not in these chapters because she is ahead of the curve, and she does not get along with the teacher because of her current deposition in the affairs of reading and writing.

8. Why does Jem not want anything to do with Scout at school? Is his behavior typical of an older child? answer: Because she might possible embarrass him or look silly in front of his friends, I would say that this is typical of a older child.

9. What do you think of Miss Caroline Fisher as a teacher? Can you find qualities which would make her good or not so good at her job? List them Answer: I'd say that she is trying to give the children a good education based on how she was taught on how to conduct the class and according to the code. She also tried to send a child of to have lunch when they did not have any (even though she was oblivious that she was slightly offending the child because he could not pay her back if he did, so I don't blame her) some not so good qualities are that she sort of does not know how to interact with the students very well because she seemed to quarrel with scout a bit on her being furthered advanced than the other students.
