Literature- How to Kill a Mockingbird
1. This week you will read chapters 10-14.2. In many ways, Atticus fits perfectly in Maycomb, but in other ways he does not. In what ways does he conform? In what ways does he stand out? Atticus often disagrees with the unwritten rules of Maycomb while characters like Mrs. Dubose and Aunt Alexandra support the popular point of view. Create a chart with at least two of the unwritten rules of Maycomb. Use textual evidence (paraphrase or quote) to show the rule in practice. In the third column explain whether or not Atticus conforms to the rule. For example:
Unwritten Rules of Maycomb (race, gender, family, etc.)
African American domestic workers are not treated like members of the family.
Textual evidence
Textual evidence
Aunt Alexandra is shocked to discover Scout and Jem attended Cal’s church. She forbids Scout from visiting Cal’s home.
Atticus’ Point of View
Atticus defends his choice in having Cal raise the kids. He says, “She’s a faithful member of this family ….”
3. After you read, answer the following questions:
1. What do Scout and Jem think of Atticus as a father? What are his strengths and shortcomings? Do you agree with their assessment?
2. It makes sense to pay special attention to any element that the author includes in the title. What references to mockingbirds and other birds have emerged so far?
3. A rabies infection is almost always fatal, so the people in town are terrified. What does the episode with the sick dog teach us about Atticus?
4. Jem finally has something to brag about when it comes to his father. Why does he decide against bragging about Atticus’ talent? Does this make sense to you?
5. Jem can usually keep his head, so why does he lose his mind and destroy Mrs. Dubose’ flowers?
6. Imagery is when an author helps us imagine with our senses. Descriptive details help us see, smell, touch, hear, and/or taste. Find one excellent example of imagery in the reading and explain how Lee creates it.
7. Describe the complicated relationship between Mrs. Dubose and Atticus. What do they think of one another?
8. What lessons does Atticus want Jem to learn from Mrs. Dubose? Do you think it worked?
9. Why does Lee label Chapters 12 onward as Part II? Speculate (make predictions) on how Part II will be different from Part I.
10. In what ways are Jem and Scout growing apart?
11. Why do you think Lula objects to Jem and Scout attending her church? Does Lula have a valid point?
12. What does Scout mean when she says that Calpurnia is leading a double life?
13. Do you think Aunt Alexandra is right about family tendencies? Is this a form of prejudice?
14. Aunt Alexandra suggests that Atticus end Calpurnia’s employment. What reasons does she offer? What inferences can you make about her reasons?
15. Why do you think little kids run away from home? Do you think that Dill’s case is typical or unusual?
Read Chapter 6 on Fur Traders and Missionaries pages 80-92. Do the chapter review activities on page 92, #1, 2.
