When I was reading this section, it struck me that the racial and sexual differences that have happened between that time and then. Women were treated as slaves, which is unacceptable in my household. I was also thinking of how bad the blacks were treated in this time. I dont think it is right for them to be treated as if they are the scum of your shoes, and the cause of all the world's problems. This is my answer to the first question.
The second question is to pick two passages and tell what you think about them. I chose the passage that Jem found the pennies. Why would someone put the pennies, which were old ones, in the tree.
The persons who put the pennies in the tree even polished the pennies, which makes me think that the pennies were very important to them. Then I chose the passage at the start of chapter 5. I chose this one because this was the passage when the boys started to reject and stop playing with Scout. I didn't think that was fair, maybe because I am used to times when women can do their own thing. Back then was probably different, but I was still not used to it, because in my household we were told to treat women with respect and chivalry. Maybe thats strange in this time, but thats me.
The third question was what was the most important idea about this section? I said that the most iomportant idea about this section is to leave people alone. I believe this is important, be it only because I never get to have a moment of peace at home. This is my answer to the third question.
The fourth question is what would you ask the author, and i would ask her why she named the book To Kill A Mockingbird.
Philosophical Moment: The Boo Radley reminds me of the time my friends and I went to the "haunted house", which it turned out a nice Hispanic lady lived in.
