1. Reflect on the
following quotation. “Scout,” said Dill, “she just fell down in the
dirt. Just fell down in the dirt, like a giant with a big foot just
came along and stepped on her. Just ump . . . like you’d step on an
ant” (240).
2 . Reflect on the following quotation. “Mr. Underwood simply figured
it was a sin to kill cripples, be they standing, sitting, or escaping.
He likened Tom’s death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters
and children. . .”
3 . Reflect on Scout’s question, “Jem, how can you hate Hitler so bad
an’ then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home—” What
is Scout talking about? What is ironic about Miss Gates' comments about
Hitler? What made her ask Jem this question? What does it show about
Scout’s character?
