Questions?

If anyone has any end of the year questions, here's the place to let me know. I'll try to check in at least once a day through next Tuesday.

Mockingbird Perspective Activity

Early on in the book, Atticus claims that "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

So, okay. Here's your task. You need to consider things from a few points of view. You need to climb into the skins of a few of the characters and walk around in them for a bit. Ready? Read the following claims:

1. Bob Ewell is a victim.
2. Atticus is unfair.
3. Scout should act more lady-like.
4. The mob should have hanged Tom Robinson.
5. Miss Maudie is a sinner.

Each of these claims is made by a character in the text. And yet, we as an audience automatically want to discount each as false. So, your task? Select two of these claims and prove that both are correct.

Both of your responses should be presented in a thoughful, thorough paragraph using (1) evidence from the text as well as (2) your absolute best effort to produce a convincing, thought provoking argument.

Good luck.
