To Kill a Mockingbird

Calpurnia begins to call Scout "Jean Louise" instead of her nickname, Scout.

In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, a stir is caused in the courtroom during the trial of Tom Robinson when Atticus Finch proves that the main witness, Mayella Ewell, is lying about being raped. This revelation challenges the deeply ingrained racism and prejudice of the community, leading to a tense and emotional reaction from the spectators.

Scout tries to defuse the situation by striking up a conversation with Mr. Cunningham, asking him to say hello to his son, Walter. This personal connection with Mr. Cunningham helps to remind the mob members of their own humanity and individuality, causing them to disperse and abandon their violent intentions.

They found two shiny pennies, two vodo dolls, and later on it sealed shut with cement.

Scout found the first item on pg. 33. "I stood up on tiptoe, hastily looked around once more, reached into the hole, and withdrew two pieces of chewinggum minis ther outer wrappers." The were Wriggley's Double-Mint.

Next of pg. 34, Jem and Scout finds a purple velvet wedding ring box which contained 1900 and 1906 Indian-head pennies.

On pg. 59. "Jem let me do the honors: I pulled out two small images carved in soap. One was the figure of a boy, the other wore a crude dress." The following page describes who the carving were meant to be Jem and Scout.

The rest of th discoveries are on pg. 60. A whole package of chewing gum was found, next a tarnished metal, one that someone would win at the Maycomb County spellingcontests. Lastly, a pocket watch that wouldn't run on a chain with an aluminum knife.

Edit: I spend forever reading through the book to find all of these, only to find out that you only wanted what was in ch. 4 when I previewed my answer. Well, I'm just gonna keep my answers there anyway because it took me so long to post this (I'm on my iPod touch). Maybe you'll need the extra info in the future. But they find the chewing gum and the pennies in ch. 4.

Miss Maudie's husband died of a heart attack.

Francis Hancock, son of Aunt Alexandra and Uncle Jimmy's son, Henry, so actually Francis is a second cousin, even though he's older than Scout.

Atticus does the bravest thing a man could possibly do - he stand up for what he beleives in but he never lets it turn into a fight. He raises his kids well and he always tries to impart kindness on others. He tries to defend an innocent man in a community where conviction was a certainty. Atticus does something very brave in the book. he shoots the mad dog!!!

Unlike her brother, Atticus, Alexandra is primarily concerned with appearances. They are from old southern gentry and she is against anything that she feels will lessen the Finch family name. Unfortunately, southern gentry at that time did not consider socializing with black people proper etiquette. She's unhappy about her brother crossing the racial barrier to defend a black man and feels that Jem attending the church will re-enforce what she believes is a bad image.

Walter Cunningham was too scared to go near the Radley place due to the rumored stories about Boo Radley, such as him coming out at night to harm people. Walter's fear and superstition kept him from exploring or interacting with the Radley house and its mysterious occupants.

There are no litteral mockingbirds in To Kill A Mocking Bird, only metaphorical ones.

If you want metaphorical mockingbirds (characters that do no harm in the book), that would include:

Boo Radley

Miss Maudie

Atticus

Walter Cunningham Jr.*

Little Chuck Little

Tom Robinson

Calpurnia

even Scout's dead mother fits here....

*questionable

he is okay with what they believe, like how Arthur (Boo) stays inside. Atticus isn't a judgemental person, so its not like hes going to judge them. he has met them all before, so they aren't new to him like Boo was new to Scout. Atticus is very relaxed with the Radleys.

They are ashamed about their father because he is old, and they believe he can't do many things due to his age.

Atticus was unwilling to go along with the story that Ewell fell on his own knife because it would have been a lie. Atticus valued honesty and integrity, and he wanted to uphold the truth despite the consequences. He believed in doing what was right and setting a good example for his children.

A podium in a courtroom is a raised platform where an attorney or witness stands to address the judge, jury, and other participants in the trial. It provides a designated space for individuals to present their arguments or testimony clearly and allows them to be visible and heard by all present in the courtroom.

There are a few reasons why they butt heads-

Aunt A. wants Scout to be a lady, Atticus wants to let her be a kid.

Aunt A. wants to fire Calpurnia, Atticus insists she is part of the family.

Aunt A. is a gossip, Atticus minds his own business

The Great Depression has a lot to do with To Kill a Mockingbird. The catalyst for the Great Depression was the Wall Street "crash" (when stock prices dropped sharply). The Great Depression was making everyone poor, but luckily the major protagonists were well-off to a certain extent. Many characters in the novel are extremely poor, such as the Ewells and the Cunninghams, so 'The Great Depression' helps Harper Lee show and differentiate between different classes of Maycomb and how economically diverse it is.

The kids slept within their house. Only time Dill spent the night at Jem and Scout's home was when he ran away. Other than that, separated.

Yes it was, they made one in 1962. It stars Gregory Peck as Atticus, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. It is a very good movie that follows the book well! Something interesting is that they had the option to put in in color, but they still chose to put in in black and white. It is a really fantastic movie. :)

Miss Maudie Atkinson said that. Scout asked Miss Maudie why when she found a blade of nut grass in her yard, why she swooped down upon it with a tin tub and subjected it to blasts from beneath with a poisonous substance she said was so powerful it'd kill us all if we didn't stand out of the way. Miss Maudie replied that instead of pulling it up, she blasted it away because one sprig of nut grass can ruin a whole yard. When it comes fall it dries up and the wind blows it all over Maycomb County.

In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Jim Finch (more commonly known as Jem) broke his arm during the attack by Bob Ewell in the woods while he was walking home with his sister Scout. Boo Radley came to their rescue, ultimately saving their lives.

Atticus allowed the children to shoot tin cans with their air rifles.

Scout was annoyed by her classmate, Cecil Jacobs, who made fun of her father for defending a black man, Tom Robinson, in court. Cecil's comments upset Scout because they targeted her family and made her question her father's choices.

Atticus calls the assumption that all black people are liars a lie. He believes that this stereotype is unfair and unjust, and that people should judge others based on their character and actions rather than their race.

No, the lemon drop plan was not enacted in "To Kill a Mockingbird". The lemon drop plan is a term used by Scout to describe the strategy of licking offending schoolchildren out of a tree, which was never carried out.

Walter Cunningham is a farmer boy in Scouts first grade class, who does not have a lunch and wont take money from the teacher because he cant pay it back. Scout gets in trouble for telling the teacher this.
