Chapter 8- Chapter eight takes place in a small town by the name of Maycomb, Alabama. For the first time in four years Maycomb is having a real winter with snow constantly falling. When the snow first started falling Scout nearly died. She thought the world was going to end. However Atticus confirmed it was just snow. One sad thing that happens in chapter eight is good old Mrs. Radley passes during the beginning of winter months. In chapter eight the children enjoy playing outside despite the cold temperatures. The craziest thing that happened in chapter eight was Miss. Maudie's house burnt down through fire. It was a crazy event at that time in Maycomb. These were some of the main events that took place in chapter eight.…

3. What is Lee’s intent by having Scout say: “…As for me, I knew nothing except what I gathered from Time magazine and reading everything I could lay hands on at home, but as I inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the Maycomb County school system, I could not help receiving the impression that I was being cheated out of something. Out of what I knew not, yet I did believe that twelve years of unrelieved boredom was exactly what the state had in mind for me.”…

The book’s first chapter is about Dryden meeting Rachel. She runs into him early in the morning and asks “Yes or no, she said, I can’t wait any longer”(Lee 6). From how Patrick Lee describes the scene you can clearly tell Rachel does not have a lot of time to waste. She needs to get going as fast as possible. That is why I chose the song Time Bomb by All Time Low. The quote from the song is, “We were like a time bomb set into motion, we knew that we were destined to explode”. This quote works imperviously for the whole book. The two are always being chased down and Rachel constantly has time stuck on her mind. She always has to be on the run from the Government. She makes some friends on this journey, in the little time she feels safe. She has had time stuck in her head since she escaped the laboratory that they were testing her in. Rachel tells Dryden she can not wait very long. She is just trying to keep enough time between her and the government, or at least enough to let her live. She lost all of her memory and that will take time for it to all come back to…

Chapter 25 begins with Scout and Jem at home, resting on their back porch. Scout spots a roly-poly, and spends the next few minutes poking it. As she attempts to smash the roly-poly, Jem speaks up. “Why couldn’t I mash him?” Scout asked. “Because they don’t bother you,” Jem answered, symbolizing the idea of leaving mockingbirds, and all those that do not harm, alone. Assuming this is just a stage he’s going through, Scout lets it go and starts to doze off. She thinks of Dill and recalls his last days with them. Suddenly, Scout remembers what Dill had told her just before he left. Wide awake, Scout begins to tell the reader Dill’s story. On the way home from a swimming lesson at the creek, Dill and Jem saw Atticus and Calpurnia driving along the highway; they waved to him, trying to catch a ride, but Atticus protested. He said he wouldn’t be home for a while, but after much pleading from Jem, he agreed to take the boys home, as long as they stayed in the car. On the way to their destination, Atticus explained that he needed to deliver the news of Tom Robinson’s death to his family. After arriving at the Robinson’s house, Dill peered out the back seat window. He says that he saw a crowd of black children playing marbles in front of the house. Atticus sent a child to fetch his mother, while he and Calpurnia anxiously waited with the young-uns in the yard. A little girl came to the door, and stood staring at Mr. Finch. Her hair was a stiff wad of tiny pigtails, and she smiled from ear to ear. She tried to walk toward Atticus, but she could not navigate the few steps. Showing his nurturing nature, Atticus took off his hat, offered his finger, and eased her down the steps. Calpurnia held the little girl as Helen Robinson walked towards them. She warmly greeted the two, and then immediately fainted. Just fell down, like a giant stepped on her, as Dill described it. Calpurnia and Atticus lifted Helen to her feet, and helped her inside. Dill said they stayed inside for a…

The title of the novel and the symbolism of the mockingbird connect with the story told because killing a mockingbird is represented and shows who in the story is a mockingbird.…
In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, the main theme is that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This metaphor of not killing mockingbird is clearly portrayed throughout the course of this novel. This theme is so important to the plot of this novel that the author decided to entitle the book after this very metaphor. Mockingbirds are birds that do not do anything wrong and they just give us music. Atticus is the main character in the novel that really stressed why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are just a simple metaphor for the characters in this book who are killed, such as Mr. Raymond and Tom Robinson.…
