What effect does the accelerated time scheme have on the play’s development? Is it plausible that a love story of this magnitude could take place so quickly?

TKAM Paragraphs

In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee describes people and what they think about the trial so well that you get what is really happening in the eyes of the courtroom audience. Jem is definitely one character who is described a lot. You can almost see and feel what Jem is feeling. Jem is heard saying, “We’re gonna win, Scout. I don’t see how we can’t.” I think this shows how naïve Jem really is. He is still young enough that he thinks that everything is fair. The courtroom scene shows just how naïve and innocent children can be.

Comments:

I think you just need to get a quote from the story or evidence but other than that I thought your paragraph was great! It is so true that the kids in this story are so naïve and this trial does show us that. Nice job ~Jess~

Your paragraph isn’t really that bad Bryn. You just need to get a quote or some type of evidence to support what you think about Jem. Like either something Jem said, or something he did that shows how naïve he is in the courtroom scene. Once you put this into your paragraph things will tie together and it will be easier to understand! Good Job! – Ciara

It’s actually really good since you weren’t here last time to work on it! Like they said, you need a quote. Also I’m not sure but maybe should you change this: at the beginning you talk about emotions of everyone in the courtroom but at the end you’re talking about Jem being naïve. Just a thought. Nice job.

4 day weekend

Over the weekend I visited my grandparents for two days. It was good to see them since I haven't for a long time. We stayed Friday night and went home Saturday afternoon. On the way home my mom, my sister, and I stopped to see my aunt and cousins. It was about 7:00pm when we started back home. I also found out that Mrs. Beppler, the French teacher, is my cousin. She is like my 3rd cousin or something like that, I never knew she was until parent teacher conferences. She and my mom were talking and they both found out we were related. I was way surprised when my mom told me. That is pretty much all that happened for my four day weekend.

Scout TKAM question

I think that Scout should only be told the basics about Tom Robinson and the rape case. I think that she is too young to be told very much about stuff like that. Even though Scout does seem pretty mature, I still think that little kids should not really know about rape. Scout should be explained the reasons why people dont think Atticus should defend a black man, but she should not be told all of what people think Tom did.

Unnatural Exposure

Unnatural Exposure

Unnatural Exposure is a murder mystery kind of book. It is one book in a long line about the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, Dr. Kay Scarpetta. I couldn't put this book down once I started it. This book is by Patricia Cornwell who has also written more murder mystery books, without Dr. Kay Scarpetta. This book will keep you on your toes and wanting more, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a really good mystery.

Q.Why does Scout need to start acting like a lady when she is only eight years old?

Q.Why does Aunt Alexandra get so mad when she finds out Jem knows Cousin Joshua was in jail?
