Chapter 10- Da Dawg

In chapter ten, Sout became ashamed of Atticus because he was older, and she felt all her classmates had a father that had a skill. Then, when a "mad", rabid dog came hobbling down the street, Atticus was called upon to shoot it. The dog was in the "dumb" stage of rabies. One of legs of the dog was hobbled and the dog was limping. It was walking in a straight line at a very slow pace. Then the dog came to a fence, closing of the Radley's yard. It stopped, and thats when Atticus shot it.

Chapter 8

Snow, snow had not been seen in Maycomb county in a long time. It was the first time Jem had seen snow. Same for Scout but Jem was older so it was a bigger deal to him. It was an even bigger deal to Atticus, for he was there father and he hadn't seen snow too. The snow was a joy to Maycomb county.

Benign

The word benign means kind and gentle. It is an adjective. It is used in the book To Kill a Mockingbird in the following sentence: "...she was only another lady in the neighborhood, but a relatively benign presence (p. 46)." http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/

Chapter 4

Bravery vs Stupidity. Was Scout, Dill and Jem being brave or stupid? They roled Scout up to the Radley's house in a tire, brave or stupid? Scout took the gum from a tree near the Radley's house, brave or stupid? Jem ran up and touched the house, brave or stupid? I think they were being brave. Even if what they did was stupid, it was dangerous so they had to be brave to do it. Thats my opinion, check out the poll!

I think Scout is not your average first grader. Scout is smart for her age. She knows how to read and is familiar with everyone in town. Scout also seems stubborn. When an adult or another person corrects/punishes Scout, she gets angry and develops a grudge against them. Like Scout has developed a grudge against Miss Caroline because she corrects him and punishes him. Same with Calpurnia because she boss' her around. Also with Walter because she feels he got her in trouble. Scout is probably a silly, stubborn first grader.
