Slide 3
Visualization When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got
his arm badly broken at the elbow. (pg. 3; para. 1)
Slide 4
Analyzing Authors Purpose Para. 2 tells the books purpose =
this book will address all of the events that led to Jems injury.
Scout believes the Ewells started it all. Jem believes it began the
summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making
Boo Radley come out.
Slide 5
Characters to Note Jem (Jeremy Atticus) Finch is four years
older than his sister Scout (Jean Louise) Finch. Atticus Finch is
their father.
Slide 6
Analyzing the Narration Who is narrating the novel? If Jem and
Scout are too old to settle things with a fist-fight AND if they
are recalling previous times related to Jems injury, how old is the
narrator approximately?
Slide 7
Summarizing - Finch Ancestry No family on either side of the
Battle of Hastings Simon Finch From Cornwall, England Fur-trapping
= hobby Apothecary (practiced medicine) Very pious = very religious
As a Methodist, he left England because of persecution Methodist
leader = John Wesley Very stingy = tight with his money Bought
human chattel (slaves) and established a homestead 40 miles above
the city of Saint Stephens Married a woman from Saint Stephens Had
a big family of mostly daughters
Slide 8
Summarizing - Finchs Landing The Finch family earned money by
growing cotton until the Civil War (disturbance between the North
and the South). The men of the family always ran the Landing until
Atticus (Jem and Scouts father) went to study law and Atticuss
younger brother went to study medicine. Their sister Alexandra
became the first female Finch to stay at the Landing.
Slide 9
Visualization pgs. 5 & 6
Slide 10
Character to Note Calpurnia (Cal) cook and nanny for the Finch
family shes all angles and bones = skinny nearsighted would
reprimand the children physically, if needed Scout argues more with
Cal than Jem does. Atticus always sides with Cal.
Slide 11
Analyzing Cal is the only permanent female figure in Jem and
Scouts life because their mother died of a heart attack when Scout
was two. Their mother was very young when she died. After all, she
was fifteen years younger than Atticus. Stop & Think: Why is it
not really as cruel as it first seems when Scout expresses that she
does not miss her mother? (pg. 6)
Slide 12
Visualization page 6 Scout (age 5) and Jem (age 9) were too
scared to break their summertime boundaries Mrs. Henry Lafayette
Duboses house (two doors to the north) She was plain hell. The
Radley place (three doors to the south) An unknown entity (a
ghost-like person Boo Radley) lived there.
Slide 13
Tracking Plot The Boo Radley plot officially begins with the
line That was the summer Dill came to us (Lee 6). Notice the plot
begins with the event that Jem believed began the story of his
broken arm.
Slide 14
Character to Note Dill (Charles Baker) Harris six years old
wore blue shorts buttoned to shirt snow white hair, like duck fluff
has blue eyes can read and is excited to share this skill with
others from Meridian, Mississippi mother = assists a photographer
in Meridian no father?!? will be staying every summer with his
aunt, Rachel Haverford won a Beautiful Child contest and won five
dollars, using the money to see picture shows (movies), like
Dracula
Slide 15
Characters to Note The Radleys description of house (pg. 8) a
malevolent phantom (Boo) lived inside he was blamed for crimes in
the community even though someone else had been caught there were
superstitions about the house / about the family an African
American would not walk by the house on the same side of the
sidewalk; they would cross and whistle the Radley pecans would fall
into the school yard and would not be eaten because the children
believed they would kill you a baseball hit into the Radley yard
was a lost ball; no one would go to get it
Slide 16
Mr. and Mrs. Radley and two sons Nathan and Arthur They kept to
themselves. They did not go to church, but worshipped at home. Mr.
Radley was only seen walking to town and returning with a brown
paper bag. He bought cotton did nothing for a living. Mrs. Radley
seldom visited neighbors and never joined a missionary circle. The
shutters and doors were always closed, even on Sundays.
Slide 17
Checking Understanding What events led to the youngest Radley
boy becoming Boo?
Slide 18
Quote to Note Nobody knew what form of intimidation Mr. Radley
employed to keep Boo out of sight, but Jem figured that Mr. Radley
kept him chained to the bed most of the time. Atticus said no, it
wasn't that sort of thing, that there were other ways of making
people into ghosts (Lee 11). What does the underlined portion of
this quote mean?
Slide 19
Characters to Note Mr. Radley (Boos father) He dies on page 12.
Calpurnia comments, There goes the meanest man ever God blew breath
into (Lee 12). Mr. Nathan Radley (Boos older brother) He took over
the household, returning to Maycomb from Pensacola, Florida. He was
like his father except he would speak to Jem and Scout when they
said good morning and sometimes he would be seen carrying a
magazine home from town.
Slide 20
Analyzing Narration Scouts misunderstanding of what others say
will occur throughout the book. I told Jem if he set fire to the
Radley house I was going to tell Atticus on him (Lee 14).
Slide 21
Summarizing - The Dare Dill bet Jem The Gray Ghost against two
Tom Swifts that Jem wouldnt get any farther than the Radley gate
(Lee 13). The dare keeps changing as Jem keeps delaying until
finally Dill says, Ill swap you The Gray Ghost if you just go up
and touch the house (Lee 14).
Slide 22
Quote to Note After Jem touches the house, we thought we saw an
inside shutter move. Flick. A tiny, almost invisible movement, and
the house was still (Lee 15). The childrens relationship with Boo
begins

Character Check-In Miss Caroline Fisher She is 21 years old and
a first grade teacher Scout describes her as a pretty little thing
She is from Winston County (Northern Alabama) She has a new way of

accurate She pats Scouts hand with a ruler and puts Scout in a
corner She very much wants to BE THE TEACHER (and tells Scout not
to let Atticus teach her anymore) She lives with Miss Maudie
Atkinson (shes a boarder, renting a room) She does not know the
town or the town families very well and that causes
misunderstandings
Slide 27
Quote to Note Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to
read. One does not love breathing (Lee 18).
Slide 28
Dewey Decimal System?!? The Dewey Decimal System is a system we
use to classify books by grouping them in 10 categories. Melvil
Dewey created this system of classification. John Dewey is the
educator who inspired Miss Caroline Fishers teaching. John Dewey
led education reform during the first half of the century.
Slide 29

Stock Market Crash hit his family hard Atticus once acted as a
lawyer for Walter Cunningham Sr. who had trouble with his land (due
to an entailment) Walter Cunningham Sr. could have taken on a WPA
job and had money, but then he wouldve had to give up his land

the Work Projects Administration) was the largest New Deal agency,
employing millions of people during the Great Depression.

die if you dont say a rhyme as you are going through the hot
spot
Slide 41
Quotes to Note I swear, Scout, sometimes you act so much like a
girl, its mortifying (Lee 38). Jem told me I was being a girl, that
girls always imagined things, thats why other people hated them so,
and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find
some to play with (Lee 41).

"Looks like all of Maycomb was out tonight, in one way or another.
Jem, there's some wrapping paper in the pantry, I think. Go get it
and we'll "Atticus, no sir!" Jem seemed to have lost his mind. He
began pouring out our secrets right and left in total disregard for
my safety if not for his own, omitting nothing, knot-hole, pants
and all. Mr. Nathan put cement in that tree, Atticus, an' he did it
to stop us findin' things - he's crazy, I reckon, like they say,
but Atticus, I swear to God he ain't ever harmed us, he ain't ever
hurt us, he coulda cut my throat from ear to ear that night but he
tried to mend my pants instead... he ain't ever hurt us' Atticus
Atticus said, "Whoa, son," so gently that I was greatly heartened.
It was obvious that he had not followed a word Jem said, for all
Atticus said was, "You're right. We'd better keep this and the
blanket to ourselves. Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for
covering her up. "Thank who?" I asked. "Boo Radley. You were so
busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket
around you (Lee 71-72).
Slide 66
Quote to Note Miss Maudie said, Thank you sir, but you've got a
job of your own over there. She pointed to our yard. You mean the
Morphodite? I asked. Shoot, we can rake him up in a jiffy. Miss
Maudie stared down at me, her lips moving silently. Suddenly she
put her hands to her head and whooped. When we left her, she was
still chuckling. Jem said he didn't know what was the matter with
her - that was just Miss Maudie (Lee 74).

Slide 70
Quote to Note Don't say nigger, Scout. That's common (Lee
75).
Slide 71
Quote to Note The main one is, if I didn't I couldn't hold up
my head in town, I couldn't represent this county in the
legislature, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something
again.every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that
affects him personally. This one's mine, I guess. You might hear
some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you
will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No
matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat.
Try fighting with your head for a change (Lee 75-76).
Slide 72
Quote to Note "Atticus, are we going to win it?" "No, honey."
"Then why - "Simply because we were licked a hundred years before
we started is no reason for us not to try to win" (Lee 76).
Slide 73
Quote to Note I drew a bead on him, remembered what Atticus had
said, then dropped my fists and walked away, Scouts a cow-ward!
ringing in my ears. It was the first time I ever walked away from a
fight (Lee 76-77).
Slide 74
Quote to Note Aunt Alexandra would have been analogous to Mount
Everest: throughout my early life, she was cold and there (Lee
77).
Slide 75
Quote to Note Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my
attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches;
when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't
supposed to be doing things that required pants. Aunt Alexandra's
vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea
sets, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me when I was
born; furthermore, I should be a ray of sunshine in my father's
lonely life. I suggested that one could be a ray of sunshine in
pants just as well, but Aunty said that one had to behave like a
sunbeam, that I was born good but had grown progressively worse
every year. She hurt my feelings and set my teeth permanently on
edge, but when I asked Atticus about it, he said there were already
enough sunbeams in the family and to go on about my business, he
didn't mind me much the way I was (Lee 81).
Slide 76
Quote to Note Talking to Francis gave me the sensation of
settling slowly to the bottom of the ocean. He was the most boring
child I ever met (Lee 81).
Slide 77
Quote to Note "Grandma's a wonderful cook," said Francis.
"She's gonna teach me how." "Boys don't cook." I giggled at the
thought of Jem in an apron" (Lee 82).
Slide 78
Quote to Note You know what's going to happen as well as I do,
Jack, and I hope and pray I can get Jem and Scout through it
without bitterness, and most of all, without catching Maycomb's
usual disease. Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when
anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I don't pretend
to understand. I just hope that Jem and Scout come to me for their
answers instead of listening to the town. I hope they trust me
enough.... Jean Louise? (Lee 88).

Chapter 10 To Kill a Mockingbird
Slide 80
Purpose for Reading Chapter 10 This chapter focuses mostly on
the children discovering that there is more to their father than
meets the eye. Focus on: how the children originally feel about
their father (especially his age) what is said about mockingbirds
what happens to Tim Johnson (a dog) who Zeebo is how the children
feel about their father at the end of the chapter
Slide 81
Chapter 10 CHECK!/12pts. 1. How do the children originally feel
about their father (especially his age)? 2. Who first mentions
mockingbirds and what does he say? 3. Who agrees with him? 4. What
is wrong with Tim Johnson? 5. Who is Zeebo? 6. How do the children
feel about their father at the end of the chapter?
Slide 82
Quote to Note Our father didn't do anything. He worked in an
office, not in a drugstore. Atticus did not drive a dump-truck for
the county, he was not the sheriff, he did not farm, work in a
garage, or do anything that could possibly arouse the admiration of
anyone. Besides that, he wore glasses. He was nearly blind in his
left eye, and said left eyes were the tribal curse of the Finches.
Whenever he wanted to see something well, he turned his head and
looked from his right eye. He did not do the things our
schoolmates' fathers did: he never went hunting, he did not play
poker or fish or drink or smoke. He sat in the living room and read
(Lee 89).
Slide 83
Quote to Note Atticus said to Jem one day, I'd rather you shot
at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds.
Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember
it's a sin to kill a mockingbird (Lee 103 or 119 or 90).
Slide 84
Quote to Note That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say
it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
Your father's right, she said. Mockingbirds don't do one thing but
make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens,
don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their
hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird (Lee
103 or 119 or 90).
Slide 85
The Jew's Harp is a small musical instrument which is held
against the teeth or lips, and plucked with the fingers. Its
appearance in many cultures of the world, and ancient roots, attest
to the magical essence of this simple instrument.
Slide 86
Quote to Note She got no answer, and she shouted, Mr. Nathan,
Mr. Arthur, mad dog's comin'! Mad dog's comin'! She's supposed to
go around in back, I said. Jem shook his head. Don't make any
difference now, he said (Lee 94).
Slide 87
Quote to Note I thought mad dogs foamed at the mouth, galloped,
leaped and lunged at throats, and I thought they did it in August.
Had Tim Johnson behaved thus, I would have been less frightened.
Nothing is more deadly than a deserted, waiting street. The trees
were still, the mockingbirds were silent (Lee 94 or 125 or 108 or
99).
Slide 88
Quote to Note If your father's anything, he's civilized in his
heart. Marksman ship's a gift of God, a talent --- oh, you have to
practice to make it perfect, but shootin's different from playing
the piano or the like. I think maybe he put his gun down when he
realized that God had given him an unfair advantage over most
living things. I guess he decided he wouldn't shoot till he had to,
and he had to today. Looks like he'd be proud of it, I said. People
in their right minds never take pride in their talents, said Miss
Maudie (Lee 98).
Slide 89
Chapter 11 To Kill a Mockingbird
Slide 90
Quote to Note when I was well into the second grade at school
and tormenting Boo Radley became pass, the business section of
Maycomb drew us frequently up the street past the real property of
Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose (Lee 99).
Slide 91
Quote to Note Dont you contradict me! And youwhat are you doing
in those overalls? You should be in a dress and camisole, young
lady! Youll grow up waiting on tables if somebody doesnt change
your waysa Finch waiting on tables at the O.K. Caf hah! Not only a
Finch waiting on tables but one in the courthouse lawing for
n-----s! (Lee 101).
Slide 92
Quote to Note before I can live with other folks Ive got to
live with myself. The one thing that doesnt abide by majority rule
is a persons conscience (Lee 105).
Slide 93
Quote to Note Scout, n-lover is just one of those terms that
dont mean anythinglike snotnose. Its hard to explainignorant,
trashy people use it when they think somebodys favoring Negroes
over and above themselves. Its slipped into usage with some people
like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label
somebody (Lee 108).
Slide 94
Quote to Note You arent really a n-----lover, then, are you? I
certainly am. I do my best to love everybodyits never an insult to
be called what somebody think is a bad name. It just shows you how
poor that person is, it doesnt hurt you (Lee 108).
Slide 95
Quote to Note Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict.She took it as
a pain-killer for years. The doctor put her on it. She'd have spent
the rest of her life on it and died without so much agony, but she
was too contrary.She said she was going to leave this world
beholden to nothing and nobody. Jem, when you're sick as she was,
it's all right to take anything to make it easier, but it wasn't
all right for her. She said she meant to break herself of it before
she died, and that's what she did (Lee 111).
Slide 96
Quote to Note She was. She had her own views about things, a
lot different from mine, maybe... son, I told you that if you
hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her. I wanted
you to see something about her-I wanted you to see what real
courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with
a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you
begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all
ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died
beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever
knew (Lee 112).

Mr. Ewells accusation (Lee 173): Mr. Ewell may be barely

Toms name, or even the pronoun "he") 2) emphasizes Toms race over
everything else (the redundancy of "black nigger") 3) compares Tom
to a beast ("rutting" is usually applied to animals) 4) portrays
Mayella as a passive victim (shes the indirect object of the
sentence) 5) asserts power over his daughter ("my Mayella," as if
Toms trying to steal Ewells property) Not bad for a mere ten words
