Thoughts on Chapters 9 – 11

March 29, 2007

well i think that some of the questions were really good questions. the one about Scout and Francise fighting all the timeis true. i mean they are counsins and they shouldn’t fight all the time, especially about family members. i think that Atticus wanted Scout to hear the conversation because it would help her understand the situation much better. when scout was listening and Uncle Jack didn’t mention the real reason they faught it also think it meant alot to Scout. even thought she was mad at him for what he did earlier, i think she gained some respect because of his thoughtfulness. i think that atticus did always let his kids win because he felt insecure about himself in some way. i think that he wanted them to grow up better than he thought he had and he wanted them to have the courage to do anything and know that they can beat the best if they try hard enough. Mrs. Dubose’s fits were because she was a Morphine addict and she needed it to function normally, she had lived along time on it so she became used to it and soon it became a necessity. it think that Jem took the present like a bad thing because he had gotten close to her while reading to her and he wasn’t reading to face it that she had died in peace.

Jems Journal

March 27, 2007

The first major thing is when Scout came home and was chewing gum that she had found in the tree hole. Jem flipped out and told her to spit it out and never touch anything she found in there because it was the Radleys tree and they had poisoned it. another thing is probably when Scout, Dill, and Jem decided to take a note over and put it in the window seal and hope that Boo Radley would get it and answer it. i think jem was really scared when he did it because he he was chosen to actually go up to the house and put the note in the window seal. i think that it would be pretty scary too. i mean and when they ran away because they heard gun shots and Scout and Dill got away but Jem didn’t because his pants got stuck on the fence. he was probably relieved when Scout and Dill came to rescue him. however, that night when he went back to get his pants and came back home to find them sewed an folded that probably scared him pretty good. Finally when Miss Maudies house burns down and Atticus wakes the kids in the middle of the night to get them out of the house Jem and Scout had no idea what was going on so they were probablly really scared and didn’t know what to do. i mean all Jem did was stand with his sister Scout and ask his dad if he wanted him to get  the stuff out of their house. and when they found out that Boo Radley put a blanket over Scout it probably gave them the chills.

Symbols and Thoughts

March 27, 2007

i think that the Radley house and the Dubose house are great potential symbols. i think that these house are way more than just houses. for one, they are the childrens physical limit but also their mental limit. the kids know that they are not allowed past those house but they especially know not to mess with the Radley house.  And because they are not sapposed to mess with it, i think they do it to see what their limits are. the Dubose house is also a great limit because the children think she is weird but they still talk to her because of respect. the kids dont really think about her house as much as they think about the Radley house.  why is Miss Dubose house so important i mean what does she do?
