EACH age you Quote must relate to one of the following codes above. Make sure to use a variety. Using the same codes for most or all of your entries will result in a lower score. 1. This quote represents about the character of Atticus is that he is a very persistent person who tries to stay on track with the things that he does. (ex. The incident with the Haverfords) Also, this reveals that Atticus had a much better education than most people during the Great Depression and it shows how knowledgeable he is with Criminal Law.

1. “The Haverfords had dispatched Maycomb’s leading blacksmith in a misunderstanding arising from the alleged wrongful detention of a mare, were imprudent enough to do it in the presence of three witnesses, and insisted that theson-of-a-bitch-had-it-coming-tohim was a good enough defense for anybody”

5/2

2. “Jem condescended to take me to school the first day, a job usually done by parents, but Atticus had said that Jem would be delighted to show me where my room was...Jem was careful to explain that during school hours I was not to bother him...

20/2

2. This quote reveals that Jem has a mean, big brother notion of taking Scout to school, but then he did not mind when Atticus wanted him to do if for him. Scout uses words like “condescended” to put us in that outlook that Jem is feeling. Another thing is that we can make an inference that Jem may have to do some things in the future that he may not like, but he would have to do it because of the real authority, Atticus.

3. “She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia’s grammar became erratic. When in tranquility, her grammar was good as anybody’s in Maycomb. Atticus said Calpurnia had more education than most colored folks.”

32/6

3. This quote can say about the theme in the novel about the rich and the poor (different classes). Even though Calpurnia was colored, she still had one of the best education in Maycomb. That says that colored people have the ability to get an education as well as the poor people because mostly the colored people were poor.

4. “Atticus’s arrival was the second reason why I wanted to quit the game…I had heard another sound, so low I could not have heard it from the sidewalk. Someone inside the house was laughing.”

54/6

4. This quote reveals the feeling (tone) is that we know have enough things to make an inference that there may be something in the house that the characters don’t know about (irony). Also, this thing that Scout is thinking of maybe brought back in the future of the book.

5. “His name’s Arthur and he’s alive,” she said... Do you smell my mimosa? It’s like angels’ breath this evening.”

57/13

6. “Scout, I’m tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home—I declare to the Lord you’re gettin’ more like a girl every day!”

69/18

5. This quote reveals that Miss Maudie may be a great ally/help with Scout. She’s like an angel that may look after her and more of like a mother figure (symbol) because she also believes that Boo Radley is alive. All of these misconceptions are getting in the way of what’s true about Boo Radley. Miss Maudie also says that he was always “polite” and “friendly” as a child. The purpose of this symbol is that Scout is now left out between Dill and Jem and she is now alone with no one. Miss Maudie may be a reference to a mother figure or angel because Scout says that Miss Maudie has always been good to Scout and gives good points on her side. 6. This quote reveals itself in an ironic way. Jem keeps telling scout that she is turning more like a girl, but she is. Jem thinks Scout is more like a brother instead of like a sister because since the mother dies, Scout has been raised with boys and done more boy things. Scout did not have a motherly figure in her life and that’s why Jem says that she is acting more like a girl.

7. “He held them down to me. They were almost perfect miniatures of two children. The boy had on shorts, and a shock of soapy hair fell to his eyebrows. I looked up at Jem. A point of straight brown hair kicked downwards from his part. I had never noticed it before.

80/22

7. This quote demonstrates a symbolism act. An ordinary tree which carries random objects inside. This may symbolize a hidden character who is trying to give a message. In the trunk, this time it was carvings of both Jem and Scout. It looks like someone or something is watching them or knows something that they don’t know.

8. “I ain’t gonna do anything to him,” but I watched the spark of fresh adventure leave his eyes. “Just think, Scout, if you’d just turned around, you’da seen him.”

96/7

8. This quote reveals that Jem may have a possible reasoning in what happened with Scout with the blanket situation. Jem uses words like “spark fresh adventure leave his eyes” to make Scout think deeply is he saw Boo Radley put the blanked on him or not. Also, we can make an inference that Boo Radley may be still lurking out stealthily to make Scout or Jem notice something.

9. “My fists were clenched and I was ready to let fly. Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of my fighting anymore.”

99/2

9. This quote reveals that Scout has a “town-boy” attitude and has fights and does a lot of manly things. Also, it reveals that she was also the troublemaker before because in the quote it said that Atticus would hit her if she got into another fight.

10. “I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want. If you can hit ‘em, but it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

119/8

10. This quote reveals that Atticus maybe lying of not knowing about hunting and shooting because he told Jem and Scout a rule that a hunter would know. Also, an inference can be made by that maybe Atticus would come out and tell his kids who he was before.
