During this weeks reading I found myself thinking about how all the people are are somehow representing somebody from her life. A passage that I selected was 'There was a man Dill had heard of who had a boat that he rowed across to a foggy island where all these babies were; you could order one.'(144). I chose that passage because Dill had mentioned to Scout that he wanted them to have a baby and their only eight years old. Another passage that I had picked out was 'After nine hours of listening to the eccentrieitics of Old Sarum's inhabitants, Judge Taylor threw the case out of court.'(165). When I chose that passage I was imagining the scene and how everybody was just sitting there as the lawyers presented their cases for their side and how after a long while of this how the Judge just said he stoped the case.
The most important ideas from the section that I read are how the grown-ups are treating the children like there older, how their aunt came to visit and 'help out,' and how Atticus was at court defending Tom Robinson. I thought those were the most important because Jem starting to act grown-up and didn't want Scout around him. Also, how when their aunt came she was trying to get Scout to act like a girl instead of the tomboy that she is. When Atticus was defending Mr. Robinson, it brought ruckus and how Atticus almost got beat up by the Cunninghams if it weren't for Jem, Scout, and Dill who had shown up outside of the jail late at night. The last question that I answered was a question that you would ask the author if she was in my literature circle. Why did you have Scout and Dill have a 'thing' at such a young age? That would be my question because the kids are only eight years old and when I was that young I still thought boys had cooties never mind having actual feelings for a boy.
