I think that Scout's house might look like one of these.
The reason I chose to look for Scout's house is because that when we have a idea how their houses look like, we might be able to understand their livestyle and understand the book better.

chapter2 part 1

Chap[ter 2


I think that this picture of a house might be the best to descibe Boo Radley's house.
There are one sentence that tell us 'oak trees kept the sun away'. The tree in the picture represents the oak tree that kept away sunlight to Boo Radley house.
It also written that Boo Radley house is low and white.

QUOTES.

I saw these two quotes that I think that it might be important.

Chapter 4. Page 33.

'-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.'
said by Atticus.

I think that this quote might be showing one of the themes in To Kill a Mocking Bird, which is Prejudice. It is something like, before we even judge a person, we need to get to know what kind of person they are, before you leave a comment on them.

second quote.
Chapter 4. Page 42

'Nothin' to it. I swear, Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl, it's mortifyin'.'

I think that this quote also might show prejudice. The residents in Maycomb thought Scout as a boy just because they see that Scout always hangs out with boys but not really go and know what kind of person she is.

Do tell me what you think group mates! (:

QUOTES.

I thought it might be important.
This might show racism in the character.

'There goes the meanest man ever God blew breath into,' murmured Calpurnia, and she spat meditatively into the yard. We looked at her in surprise, for Calpurnia rarely commented on the ways of white people.

So, Group members, do you think that this quote shows racism ?
Do tell me what you think.
