To Kill A Mockingbird: Chapters 10+11

Chapter 10- This is the chapter where the title of the book starts to make sense. Miss Maudie says to Scout and her brother that their father is right; killing a mockingbird is a sin. "Mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy." 

I remember this part from the movie; Atticus turns out to be an amazing shooter when he puts the dog out of his misery. The dog had rabies and was suffering so he shot the dog from a distance in a spot where he wouldn't feel a thing. This is significant because he's a great shot and yet he wouldn't teach Scout and Jem how to use the air-riffles. 

Chapter 11- Why does Mrs. Dubose get her kicks off of attacking Jem and Scout? I mean seriously, they're just kids. 

Now I understand what those fits were and why she wanted Jem to read to her.
