Presentation Transcript

  1. To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 30-31

  2. Think Pair Share What lessons has Atticus tried to instill in his children?

  3. Discussion Qs • How come nobody heard the children’s screams except Boo? • What symbol again makes an appearance the night Bob Ewell attacks them? • Describe Boo & his oddities. • What is Atticus not understanding that Heck Tate does?

  4. Chapter 31 • “I would lead him through our house, but I would never lead him home” (278). • Meaning??? • “We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad” (278).

  5. Chapter 31 • When does Scout finally start seeing things from Atticus’ point of view? • “I had never seen the neighborhood from this angle… Daylight… It was still summertime… It was fall… Boo’s children needed him… Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough” (278-279).

  6. Juxtaposition/Bildungsroman: Ch. 31 • How do we see Scout maturing and yet still like a child in the last two paragraphs of the novel? • She indirectly discusses the main theme of the novel and Atticus confirms her newfound knowledge. • “…when Jem waked up in the morning” (281).

  7. Essential Themes/Lesson in TKAM • In your last journal entry, instead of questions or predictions, note at least 3 themes/lessons that you believe Harper Lee was trying to impart on her readers. • Don’t be cliché- ex: Don’t judge a book by its cover seems a bit… immature. 
