I chose this picture because although both families fight quite a lot, Romeo is so drawn to Juliet that nothing can keep them apart. They re very intimate and they won't let anything, even their families, keep them from loving each other.

On page 244, the Finch Family is given a porch load of food, but Atticus says they must never do this again. How is this an emotional scene? Look at the context for other issues that you may want to discuss.

TKAM Paragraph

Throughout the entire trial, I was almost positive that Tom would be innocent, but when the jury called the verdict, I was very surprised. Atticus had a good lead that Tom did not really rape Mayella and he told himself that he thought it was actually Mr. Ewell who did it. When Atticus is prosecuting Bob, he asks him some questions that some people do not understand, but they do have a lot of meaning. For example, when Atticus finds out that Bob Ewell is left handed, he is starting to believe that he did it and not Tom because Mayella was beat up on her right side and Bob is left handed. I thought Tom was going to be innocent because Atticus has some good evidence that it was Mr. Ewell who beat up Mayella. All in all, in this day in age Tom would have had a better chance of being innocent, but when the trial ended in the story it really made me think about what our jury system was like back then.

Comments:

Bernie says: You need to get the story right! Mayella was beat up on her right side not left side! Then you repeated the same thing twice in your paragraph.

Gabi says: She got beat up on her right side, but other then that it was a wonderful paragraph.

Trey says: I agree with Gabi very good except her right not left

Kelsie says: Very good paragraph! Just make sure you are explaining and not retelling everything but good. Just put a quotation in and it will make it even better. (:

Steph says: I won’t say what the others said but you could have had the format down better.

Journal Entry

My four day weekend was pretty good. I hung out with Abbey and Bernie, had a sleepover with them, went to the game on Staurday, and had another sleepover with Abbey on Saturday to Sunday. Unfortunitely I got sick on Sunday and I do not feel very good today. I had a very good weekend until Sunday rolled around when I was burdened with being sick.

1. Why is Jem changing so much lately?

2. Why does everyone want Scout to start behaving and acting like a girl all of the sudden?

3. How come, in the story right now, we aren't talking about the Radley house anymore?
