Read chapter 14 and 15 + focus on the following questions (remember that you'll be able to take notes in class if you cannot find the answers).
ch. 14
After
Dill ran from his home and was found under Scout's bed hiding, he gets in bed
with Scout and they start talking. At the end of their conversation, Scout
asks, "Why do you reckon Boo Radley's never run off?" Dill sighs and
replies with, "Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to runoff to..."
What
would be your answer?
Ch. 15
During his conversation with Heck Tate, Atticus
brushes off Heck’s concern that something bad might happen once Tom Robinson is
moved to the Maycomb jail. He says, “Don’t be foolish, Heck. This is Maycomb”
(165). Later, Atticus repeats this sentiment on page 167, when he tells Jem and
Scout, “No, we don’t have mobs and that nonsense in Maycomb.”
•What do these lines reveal about Atticus?
•How is the impact of these lines different once a
reader has finished the chapter?
•What, you think, would have happened, had Scout and
Jem not come to Atticus?
Read chapter 12
and 13 + focus on the following questions (remember that you'll be able to take notes in class if you cannot find the answers).

A tone can be sad, angry, frustrated, solemn, cruel, well-meaning, spiteful, informative, curious, etc...
1. How has
Jem’s tone when addressing Scout changed since becoming an adolescent? What
specific words and phrases develop this changed tone?
2. Reread the
dialogue between Calpurnia and Lula on page 135. What does Lula mean when she
says, “Yeah, an’ I reckon you’s comp’ny at the Finch house durin’ the week”?
What is her tone?
3. What is
Scout’s tone as she describes Calpurnia’s church on page 136? What specific
words and phrases help develop this tone?
4. What is the impact of Harper Lee’s use of
African-American dialect in chapter 12? How does this help to develop meaning
in the text (messages that the story might want to present and develop)? Provide at least two pieces of evidence in the text to support
your answer.
