Mockingbird chapter 1&2

It is scouts first day of school and we learned that her father is pretty well off and can afford to teach her daughter scout how to read. She gets in fights with her teacher over the teacher not knowing anything about the students in the classroom. She tries to inform the teacher when lending money that the poor kid won't afford to pay her back. So  she gets in trouble and the teacher whacks her hand with a ruler. After she beats up the kid that "got her in trouble" I don't know why she beat him up or tried to because he didn't do anything to her. She tried to help him out but when it ended badly she got mad at him. When it wasn't really his fault. 

*apparently the publishing failed so I had to retry today

I feel as if the narrator doesnt understand whats going on, she trys to describe things such as boo radley but she just doesnt understand

To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 4-6

After reading this section of the book, I enjoyed the part where Atticus caught Jem and Dill trying to torment who ever occupies the Radley household. The gum wrappers and penny and the trees i found to be really mysterious and humorous at the same time. I believe that the plot with the Radley household will thicken after the tormenting and finding out his name is really Arthur. 

To Kill A Mockingbird Ch. 4, 5, &6

      In these chapters of the book we finally start to see some evidence of Boo Radleys existence. It started with Scouts discovery of gum in the tree hole. When she tells Jem, I think  both he and Scout assume it was the doing of Boo, but chooses not to say anything because they are afraid of him.  Another event that led me to believe boo is real, was Scouts experience in the Radley house yard.  Scout was in a tire being pushed by Jem, when she lost control and ended up in the Radley yard. During this mishap she heard a mysterious chuckle from beyond the Radley door. I think that the reason Jem began trying to communicate with Boo in these chapters, is because he was finally convinced that Boo was no urban legend, but a real person. Only time will tell if there assumptions are true or not.

To kill a mocking bird chapters:4-6

Chapters 4-6 were a lot more interesting then 1-3 because the kids started getting more bold and started to go near the old Radley house. It turns out that Arthur and Natan Radley aren't dead there just a foot washing baptist and to them any pleasure was a sin. They found this out when Nathan Radley supposedly shat a black man with a shotgun. 

To Kill a Mockingbird, Ch4,5,6

My opinion of chapter 4 is consistent with my view of the book, I don't like the narrator, as she's easily manipulated by her brother, Jem, who feeds her misinformation, although I understand it more now that it's been discussed in class. It's just normal brotherly behavior to do it, and the narrator doesn't know better despite her use of intelligent language: She's still just a kid. In chapter 5, the narrator, at least in my opinion, became more bearable, straying away from Jem and Dill, as well as learning a bit more about how the world functions. Also, Miss Maudie opinion on religions, and how more people think about their next life than their life right now, describes perfectly how I feel about religions: I don't want to stress about the small things that'll net me a future I can't even be sure about. That aside, my impression of Atticus so far is that he's the most reasonable person in the book, minding his own business and letting others mind theirs. Also, I'm disliking Jem a lot more, now. His behavior is becoming more dominant, which annoys me. I'm also confused about why Scout is so annoyed by being called a girl, when she is a girl. As for chapter 6, as soon as I read that they were gonna sneak into the Radley household, I knew that was going to happen. Also, apparently winning a pair of pants in a game of strip poker is a better excuse than admitting that you lost it going under a fence.

Kill a mocking bird 4 & 5

Chapters 4 and 5 were quite interesting with the whole is Boo Radleys alive or not. I'm still wondering what the gum was doing in the tree and who put it there. Maybe someone is putting it there on purpose to draw the children there? Also I think that attempting to put the note in the shutter wasn't a bad idea but it also is not a good idea. I hope that Scout and Jem find a different way to draw Boo out of his house without putting themselves in danger

To Kill a Mockingbird ch. 4-5

As I've been reading, I've liked the book more and more. I really like the point of view and how Scout narrates the story. I'm excited that there's more clues as to Boo Radley being alive, which is making me anxious to find out if he really is a legend or a real man. I'm not sure how the kids are going to try to get him out of the house now because of Atticus. They will have to be sneaky, which will be even more dangerous. I think that Boo is going to end up being a real man who is actually nice, just misunderstood.

Chapter 5: A boy named Dill began to stalk her, saying that he wanted to marry her, and then would beat her up. Even after standing up to him, he didn't stop. Scout, Jem, and Dill all talked to a lady named Miss. Maudie about Boo Radley. She says that he is still alive, and that he's crazy. Then Scout, Jem and Dill all got the idea that they wanted to drop off a note at Boo Radleys home. They got stopped right before they got to do it by Atticus, and when Jem confronted him about stopping them, he walked away.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters 4, 5, and 6

I am liking the way that this book is going so far. I am very curious as to who was putting the gum and the money in the tree. Could it be one of the Radley's? I also thought was interesting how these chapters showed how people viewed women in this time period. For example, Scout said "Jem told me I was being a girl, that girls always imagines things, that's why other people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find some to play with." (41). I thought this was interesting that she mentioned this because it showed how Jem and Dill were excluding her just because of her gender. Miss Maudie also mentioned that the foot-washers thought that women were a sin by definition. I just thought that it was interesting that they mentioned women a lot in these chapters. As for the Radley's, I am still very curious as to what is going to happen next with them. My heart was pounding when the kids entered the yard  and looked in the window of their house, and I am excited to find out more about the mystery of the Radley house. I do believe that Boo is still alive, but i'll just have to wait and see what happens next.

Chapters 2-3

These show the diversity of America in a way. Showing how miss caroline, not a local, is completely shocked by the students and how they behave

To Kill a Mocking Bird Chpt. 4+5

These chapters were quite interesting but I do not see why they do not keep going on with trying to get Mr. Arthur out of his house. Plus, was that him laughing when Scout rolled into his yard. It makes you wonder if he really is still alive or whether he is dead. I do not think he would be in the chimney though...

To Kill A Mocking Bird Ch. 4-6

After reading these chapter you start to expect that Boo Radley is alive from Scout's conversations with the neighbor across the street and from when Scout ended up rolling into the Radley's front yard and heard laughter coming from inside the house. I found it odd that Scout found gum in the tree near the Radley's and then Jem and her found money in it the next day. It seems like someone was leaving things in the tree for Jem and Scout and I am wondering if so who and if not why is someone hiding things in the tree. I was also confused at the end of chapter 6 when it describes someone in a white shirt across the fence when Jem went to get his pants back. Who was that? It kinda ended the chapter in confusion for me.

To Kill A Mockingbird: Chapters 4 & 5

Chapter 4- Scout's description of summer was amazing; it made me wish that I could go back and enjoy my summer again. 

Could someone be leaving presents for Jem and Scout in the knot-hole of the tree? 

The part where Jem, Scout, and Dill are acting out the Radley's history, it shows the imaginative side to children. 

The thought of hearing someone laughing and not being able to see who is quite frightening; especially for a young child such as Scout. 

Chapter 5- "...a foot-washing Baptist-" is quite odd by Miss Maudie's description. The whole conversation that she has with Scout is interesting.

Chapter 4+5 TKAMB

Chapter 4 and 5 really put a bunch of evidence towards the thought that Boo Radely is still alive. First off at the end of chapter 4 when Scout goes down the road in the tire, she crashes into the front yard of the Radely's house. When she stumbles out she says she hears the quiet laughter of someone in the house. Then when she is later talking to Miss Maudie, she tells Scout that Boo is alive but he is a special kind of Baptism that doesn't enjoy outside. This can help predict that Boo is still alive but he is just cooped up in the house because of his religion.

To Kill a Mockingbird Ch. 4-6

As the book progressed, Scout has lost her desire to find out about Boo Radley after their encounter with Mrs. Maudie.  Coincidentally, when Scout, Dill and Jem are trying to communicate with Boo, or Arthur, Atticus caught them and told them that Boo had the right to stay in his home.  However, Jem and Dill are set on trying to meet Boo.  This is a very curious duo that will and has got them in trouble.  They are caught by Mr. Radley trying to talk to Boo and almost was shot.  This has not helped change Scout's mind.

To Kill A Mockingbird Chapters 4-6

In these three chapters, some key events happen. Scout and Jem finish school for the summer and Dill returns to the neighborhood to stay with his Aunt. The three begin to play their games again, and one of the first things they do is roll one another in a tire. Scout lands in front of the Radley place and all three of them panic. After this happened, this sort of snowballed their curiosity into something much greater. Scout is also feeling left out of the gang as Jem and Dill get to know each other better, so she had been going over one of her neighbor's more often, Miss Maudie. One day over Miss Maudie's house, she tells Scout that Boo Radley is still alive and that he is the way he is because of his hateful father. She also says that Boo was very friendly and nice as a child. I found this interesting because we begin to unravel Boo Radley's back story. It was a question that all of us have been wondering since the beginning of the book. Also, Jem and Dill have devised a little plan to get Boo Radley out of the house and have ice cream with them. The attach a note to a fishing pole and try to put it up to the window, but Atticus catches them in the act and tells the two to stop tormenting Boo. On the Dill's last night in Maycomb, him and Jem go over to the Radley place and take a peek through the window. After looking through several windows, they see a shadow of a man and scatter. As they are sprinting away, they hear a shotgun go off. When they return to the house, the neighborhood adults are over Jem's house and are talking about how Mr. Nathan Radley shot a negro in his yard. I wonder if this is actually true or if he was shooting at Jem and Dill but he missed. This continues to fuel the fire that is the mystery of the Radley's and their story.
