Homework

The first eight chapters of to "Kill a Mockingbird" focus largely on the story of the children trying to make Boo Radley come out. List all of the events in this story including those which show the reader that Boo actually has come out. Now write a section in Atticus’s journal on the night after the fire at Miss Maudie’s house. How would Atticus reflect on the events that have happened? Post to your blog by 8.20 am Friday.


Events:
- When Scout is in the tire and hears Boo Radley laughing from the house.
- When Jem finds his pants are sewn up crooked after going to leave the Radleys house in case of getting found
- When Jem and Scout begin to find treasures in the little hole in the Radley's tree.
- When Jem tells Scout Boo Radley placed her cardigan on her when she wasn't watching.


Atticus's Point Of View:


Tonight seemed to contain a lot of drama and concern throughout the neighbourhood. With Miss Maudie's house a lit, and ours and Miss Stephanie's houses, in danger of also catching fire, I do admit, i felt a bit worried for a while. Though It was my job to continually assure the children no worrying was needed, however this time I decided to send the children away whilst all commotion was occuring, only to hear later that Boo Radley supposably placed a cardigan on Scout when she was cold. I honestly do not believe any of it and I wish Jem and Scout would stop hassling the poor man, from what i can see, they are treating him like a freak. And I won't allow my children to be as rude and heartless as they are acting. Next time I suspect they are up to no good, I will punish them both. But for now, i have better say my prayers after all, we have the lord to thank for our house which remains unharmed.
