First question what was a symbol, what does it stand for? The fire of Miss Maudie's house is a symbol. Because she said she didn't like the house anyway, and she could now start over, this symbolizes that she has a new start.
Describe One way the author creates a pic for the reader. Harper Lee uses a lot of similes and metaphors, and descriptive language. This makes a picture in your mind, and is a good way to write.
3) Describe a conflict in the book. Why was it intense? Why was it solved this way? The major conflict was that Atticus was protecting a Negro. He was called a "N***** Lover" and this is bad for Scout, because she has to deal with the consequences. By using words normally not heard, Lee makes this descriptive. The problem has not been solved.
4) How does the author make an emotion? What is the tone? How do you know? The author uses swear words, descriptive words, varying sentence lengths, etc. This creates a certain emotion in the book. The tone was Southern, this was easy to tell, because of the way things were said, how they spoke. Then there was the fear and anger, fear of all the things that were happening, anger for all that was said to Atticus.
5) If one of the characters were in the lit. circle, how would they talk based on the character in the book?
Lets say Jem was in my circle. He would most likely get the job done, then he would wait for the end of class. He would talk of football when he was finished, because that's how he was in the book.
Philosophical Moment: The chapters relate to Montana. The fire was not of my house, but a house close to mine. I didn't know them well, but we helped them anyway.
