Guided Notes: To Kill a Mockingbird

Chapter One

Sense and Style

In order to make sense of Harper Lee’s style of writing, it is helpful to look at how she uses literary devices to achieve her goal of setting a scene.

DefinitionsSensory Detail

Simile

Alliteration

Repetition

Instructions: Write the example of the literary device next to the quotation:

“In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square.” ____________________

“There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb county.” ____________________

“Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o’clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.”____________________

“Bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square.” ____________________

Creating a Setting

From this paragraph, interpret what is it that Harper Lee wants us to know or see about Maycomb County as the setting for her story.

Episodes Connected By a Thread

Early in her book, Harper Lee reveals her characters’ true natures through several episodes in their lives, tying them together in the end with a quotation that becomes the foundation of her book.

The Key Quotation: A Thread Tying the Story Together

“’First of all,’ he said, ‘if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider

things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it’” (p. 30).

Creating a Feeling through Description

Instructions: Harper Lee strives to bring us into the lives of characters and the passing of time through her descriptions of the small details of life. Imitate her style

in a paragraph of your own describing what a season (winter, spring, summer, fall) means to you.

“Summer was on the way; Jem and I awaited it with impatience. Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill” (p. 34). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Close Reading Questions

Hint # 1: Answering close reading questions requires you to think first, and then organize your thoughts into a response. You need to break your thinking and

answering into two different steps to help you form a better answer.

Hint #2: Close reading questions require different kinds of thinking. Some are concrete, or based on facts. Some are abstract, making you come up with an opinion

based on facts. Some are a combination of both.

Hint #3: Here’s a breakdown of question types from easy to hard:

Easy: The answer is stated fairly directly in the book. This is a concrete question (based on stated facts)

Medium: Part of the answer is stated in the book, but the other part you need to analyze as you interpret the book. This is a combination of concrete and abstract

(facts + opinions based on those facts).

Hard: The answer is not directly stated, but instead requires you to think about the evidence you know so far, and what you can assume based on what you know. This is

a completely abstract question (opinion based on facts taken as a whole)

(Easy) What does Scout find in the tree? Why is Jem suspicious?

Thought Process1. She finds gum 2. Jem is suspicious because the tree is on the Radwell’s property

Answer:

Scout finds gum in the tree. Jem is suspicious because the tree is on the Radwell’s

property, and he doesn’t want Scout going near there.

(Medium) What is Boo Radley’s real name? How does knowing his real name change the way you view him?

Thought Process

Concrete: His name is Arthur Radley

Abstract:1. When you learn someone’s name, it’s like meeting them for the first time.2. Meeting someone is personal; you usually try to get to know them.3. This is impossible with Boo because he doesn’t come out of the house. We

learn about him from other people.4. Miss Maudie’s desciption is the first kind/normal thing we learn about Arthur

Radley.5. This makes us need to reevaluate him as a character.

Answer:

Boo Radley’s name is Arthur Radley. Learning Boo’s real name makes him into a real

person for the reader; we feel as if we need to know him better. As Miss Maudie’s

information is the first positive thing we have learned about Boo, the reader realizes

that he or she may need to reevaluate Arthur Radley as a character.

(Hard) How does Harper Lee build suspense at the final paragraph of Chapter Four?

Thought Process

Concrete: Harper Lee describes laughter at the end of chapter four.

Abstract:

1. Scout is relieved the game is over because she hears laughter.2. Her relief means the laughter felt frightening or harmful to her. 3. It must be frightening or harmful because it relates to Boo Radley. 4. Clearly Scout believes Boo was laughing at them, and this scares her because

it means he closely watches them. 5. Harper Lee holds off this information until the end because it makes you want

to jump into the next chapter.6. It also helps to deepen the mystery of Boo Radley’s personality and reassure

the reader he is still alive.7. The fact that we have now “heard” from Boo Radley means we will likely hear

from him again.

Forming the Answer:

Scout hears laughter at the end of chapter four. She feels threatened by it because it

comes from Boo Radley. This creates a feeling of suspense because it is the first

time we

have “heard” from Boo Radley, and it means we are likely to hear from him again.

Jem’s Transformation in Quotations

Information: Somewhere in the space of these few chapters, Jem ages into an adolescent, while Scout remains a child. The following two quotations demonstrate his development in contrast to Scout’s child-like understanding.

“It was then, I suppose, that Jem and I first began to part company. Sometimes I did not understand him, but my periods of bewilderment were short-lived. This was beyond me” (p.56).

“Atticus left us on the porch. Jem leaned on a pillar, rubbing his shoulders against it…He stood there until nightfall, and I waited for him. When we went in the house I saw he had been crying; his face was dirty in the right places, but I thought it odd that I had not heard him” (p. 62)

Quotations that Reveal a Character

Quotation:“But while no one with a grain of sense trusted Miss Stephanie, Jem and I had considerable faith in Miss Maudie. She had never told on us, had never played cat-and-mouse with us, she was not at all interested in our private lives. She was our friend” (p. 44).

Shows:

Bad: Miss Maudie doesn’t care about the childrens’ lives, so she is a good friend.

Better: Miss Maudie is a good friend because she is loyal and trustworthy.

Best: Miss Maudie an adult who is actually respectful of children. Jem and Scout recognize her as someone who cares about them but doesn’t patronize them, which they like.

Quotation:“It was then, I suppose, that Jem and I first began to part company. Sometimes I did not understand him, but my periods of bewilderment were short-lived. This was beyond me” (p.56).

Shows:

Bad: Jem and Scout part company over Jem’s pants. This shows Scout doesn’t understand why Jem needs his pants.

Better: Jem and Scout disagree over the reasons why Jem should or should not retrieve his pants from the Radley’s house. Scout can’t understand why Jem would risk it.

Best: Jem and Scout’s disagreement over Jem retrieving his pants shows the differences in their ages and maturity. Jem feels he owes it to his father to keep his word and not force Atticus to “lick” him. Scout would rather take the easy way out and face a “licking.” Jem does not want to put Atticus in that position, as he has never hit him before.

Quotations

Instructions: Examine the following quotations Scout uses to describe her family. Select one and explain what the quotation reveals about Scout’s feelings toward that

character and how you reached your answer.

“Aunt Alexandra would have been analogous to Mount Everest; throughout my early life she was cold and there” (p. 77).

“Uncle Jack was a head shorter than Atticus; the baby of the family, he was younger than Aunt Alexandra. He and Aunty looked alike, but Uncle Jack made better use of

his face: we were never wary of his sharp nose and chin” (p. 78)

“Talking to Francis gave me the sensation of settling slowly to the bottom of the ocean. He was the most boring child I had ever met” (p. 81).

Understanding Significance

“I scurried to my room and went to bed. Uncle Jack was a prince of a fellow not to let me down. But I never figured out how Atticus knew I was listening, and it was not

until many years later that I realized he wanted me to hear every word he said.”

An Understanding of Courage

Quote #1: “Atticus said to Jem one day, ‘I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit

‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird’” (p. 90).

Quote#2: He would return his hat to his head, swing me to his shoulders in her very presence, and we would go home in the twilight. It was times like these when I

What does Scout admire about her father’s actions?

Quote #3: “I wanted you to see something about her—I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.

It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do” (p. 112).

How did Mrs. Dubose show courage? Why does Atticus want Jem and Scout to witness this type of courage?

Aunt Alexandra and the Caste System of Maycomb County

What is a caste? Why do they exist?


Quotation

There was indeed a caste system in Maycomb, but to my mind it worked this way: the older citizens, the present generation of people who had lived side by side for years and years, were utterly predictable to one another: they took for granted attitudes, character shadings, even gestures, as having been repeated in each generation and refined by time. Thus the dicta: No Crawford Minds His Own Business, Every Third Merriweather Is Morbid, The Truth Is Not in the Delafields, All the Bufords Walk Like That, were simply guides to daily living: never take a check from a Delafield without a discreet call to the bank; Miss Maudie Atkinson's shoulder stoops because she was a Buford; if Mrs. Grace Merriweather sips gin out of Lydia E. Pinkham’s bottles it's nothing unusual-her mother did the same.Aunt Alexandra fitted into the world of Maycomb like a hand into a glove, but never into the world of Jem and me (p. 131)

Mockingbirds

When he gave us our air-rifles Atticus wouldn't teach us to shoot. Atticus said to Jem, "I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "You're father's right," she said. "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mocking bird." (98)

Neighbors

"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and

chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it

made me sad."-Scout (293)

Conclusion

“Atticus, he was real nice…His hands were under my chin, pulling up the covers, tucking it around me.

Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.He turned out the light and went into Jem’s room. He would be there all night, and

we would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.
