“To Kill A Mockingbird”: Chapters 12-16 Chapter 12: (153-168)

-­‐ Jem turns 12 -­‐ Scout looks forward to Dill’s arrival in the summer but he never comes

o We find out he has a “new father” and that he will stay in Meridian -­‐ Atticus has to be in the state legislature and travels to the state capital every day for 2 weeks

o So they go to Calpurnia’s church : “colored” church o Poverty; only have one hymnal so the congregation repeats after Zeebo, Calpurnia’s oldest son

and the town garbage collector. Goodness and solidarity of the black community o One woman, Lula, criticizes, but the rest are friendly

# Offering taken for Tom Robison’s wife, Helen, who can’t find work now that Tom has been accused of rape (*p. 164) Scout wonders why anyone would believe the Ewells

Chapter 13: 169-179 -­‐ Aunt Alexandra comes to bring “feminine influence” -­‐ Bullies Atticus and imposes vision of social order that the kids don’t really play into -­‐ Clashes with Calpurnia and thinks she is unnecessary -­‐ Obviously cares deeply about the kids, but probably goes about demonstrating her care the wrong way

Chapter 14: 180-192 -­‐ impending trial of Tom Robinson and Atticus as defense lawyer make Jem and Scout recipients of

whispers and glances around town -­‐ One day, Scout tries to ask Atticus what “rape” is, and the subject of going to Cal’s church comes up -­‐ Jem tells Scout not to antagonize Aunt Alexandra -­‐ Scout discovers Dill under the bed!

o He has run away because his mother and father didn’t pay enough attention to him. o Took a train from Meridian to Maycomb and covered the remaining 14 miles on back of a wagon o Atticus is kind/tells Aunt Rachel where Dill is

-­‐ Dill goes to sleep in Jem’s bed, then comes over to Scout: page 189-192: innocence, sweet, cute, ironic

1. CHAPTER FIFTEEN. Who has been moved to the Maycomb jail? (p. 197)_________________________ 2. Describe what occurs at the Maycomb County Jail. Who all is there? What do they want? What makes the men go home? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. CHAPTER SIXTEEN (pp. 208-221) Atticus explains to Jem, “Mr. Cunningham’s basically a good man… he just has his blind spots along with the rest of us… He might have hurt me a little… but son, you’ll understand folks a little better when you’re older. A mob’s always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man.” (p. 210) Analyze this statement. What does it mean to be a part of a “mob?” What does it mean to be “a man?” What is the difference? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Atticus continues, “So it took an eight-year-old child to bring ‘em to their senses, didn’t it? … That proves something – that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human. Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children… you children last night made Walter Cunningham stand in my shoes for a minute. That was enough.” (p. 210)What does Atticus mean by saying the children made Walter Cunningham stand in his (Atticus’) shoes?
