Hello My Darlings!
Reminder: For those available, we will meet at 2PM on Monday to review chapters 7 and 8.
I really enjoy our discussions!
Please read my synopsis/ key points below before you read.
Ch 7
So, think about what Jem reveals to Scout about the night they were almost shot.
Who did the folding and sewing..?????
Do you think it's a little creepy that someone knew he'd return?????
The mysterious knothole in the tree.....even more mysterious, don't you agree?????
What allusion is created when the hole is filled? (I want you to tell me who you believe left the gifts, and who filled the hole?)
How does this change the children? Why would it have such impact?
Jem is definitely growing up....he likes school, and tries to assure Scout. (Scout is too stubborn to listen!)
Ch 8
Odd happenings...who's to blame?
Winter arrives in Maycomb and it is unexpectedly harsh. Mr. Avery blames the children for causing the bad weather, saying that disobedient children make the seasons change. Mrs. Radley dies, and Atticus goes to the Radley house to pay his respects (What's in that house?). Upon Scout's questioning, he sternly states that he did not see Boo there.
Remember, the South doesn't see much snow..."Do you wanna build a snowman?" Tell me about this one!
Miss Maudie's tragedy.......Now she'll have to live with MS. Stephanie
Back at home, Atticus notices that Scout has a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and scolds her for straying from the one spot he told her to stay in. Scout explains that neither she nor Jem left the Radley yard. Where do you think the blanket came from?
What's Miss Maudie's outlook on the fire?
