The End

Post # 7

Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age?

Place? Select and defend your answer

I think this book is about racism because of what happen with tom Robison. Atticus

was not races unlike people in Maycomb he took the case and did not back down

because he was black. Jem and Scout do not see that line between white and black.

When they were watching the court case they sat where the black people sat. One of

the people that were races was Mr. Ewell. He rape his own daughter beat her, and

blamed it on a black person. And when Tom said he felt sorry for his daughter

everyone was shocked. Because the Ewells are poor but everyone thinks that black

people are always going to be at the bottom of the chart. When he said that it was

shocking to them that a black person was higher than them. Then Mr. Ewell killed Tom

and killed himself. This boo is about racism, and Scout growing up seeing the world,

and what is the good and the bad.

Good things.. and Bad things..

Sabrina Jackson

Q: How do you think the story (what you read so far) would have changed if Scout and

Jem had a mother present in their lives? Would it change for the better or for the

worse? Explain your thoughts.

Journal #6

If Jem and Scouts mom were their lives would change, for the better. If she

was their Scout would act more like a lady, because scout is around a lot of boys

like her dad, brother, and Dill. Aunt Alexandra wouldn't be there with them. I don't

think Aunt Alexandra is a good influence on the kids because she races, and the kids

hate her. Cal is kind of like their mother she give them advice, punishes them when

they do wrong, and the kids love her.


The bad things about the mother being there is the dad wouldn't be close

to the kids as much as the mother. Because he works a lot and the mother would do

most of the work with the kids. Cal wouldn't be there because the mom does the

cooking and the cleaning. They might also be races because Cal not their and they

don't have African American influence, and would believe the people that talk about

them.
