Oh, dude, in chapters 2-3 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," there's some classic humor, like when Scout gets in trouble at school for being able to read and write already, like, what a crime, right?

Answer 4

Well in my main opinion there is not to much humor to the story. It is mostly a story of all seriousness.

The humor is indirect and sophisticated for a bunch of "country people". Atticus uses humorous and satirical analogies to make many of his points.

The point of the humor is to make the reader (or viewer of the screenplay adaptation) to think about what is really being said, in undertones, inferences, and satirical humor.

Answer 5

In chapters 2 and 3 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," humor can be found in Scout's misunderstanding of Miss Caroline's attempts to help Walter Cunningham and her teacher's reaction to Scout's ability to read ahead. Additionally, Scout's sarcastic remarks about the "lunatic" Boo Radley contribute to the novel's humor.

Answer 6

Yes, when she and her brother were taken by Atticus to have Sunday dinner with their Aunt; Scout trotted out one of her shockers at the table. She said, "Pass the damned ham."
