Chapter 10

I choose this picture because first this is a black and white picture. Second one building is one house, which likes the house in the book. The evidence is that in Macomb, one family has one house. There is a black man because there are black people in that town.

Introduction (Miss Caroline)

Her full name is Caroline Fisher.She was Scott first grade teacher(Primary one).She is new to Maycomb & not aware about the environment nor the people.She disagrees with Scott and her lack of understanding about the children get her into conflict and dislike on them.She is from North Alabama,from Winston County.

Description

Miss Caroline was no more than twenty-one. She had bright auburn hair,pink cheeks, and wore crimson finger-nail polish.She also wore high-heeled pumps.She looked and smelled like a peppermint drop.

What the character says/ does?

She is rather a dominant person who wants others to listen to her.She wants things to be in her own way like she tells Scott not to ask her father to teach.

What other characters say about her?

Scott first impression on Caroline is horrible and she dislikes her & even condemn her by saying she is a ‘damn lady’ when Jem asked her how was she getting along in school.

What does it tells you about the character?

I felt Miss Caroline has to learn to be more understanding with the children.She always jumps into conclusion when she tells Scott that her father teaches her when that is not the truth. She is acting on impulse regarding her student,Burris.She should have behaved in a diplomatic and tactful matter with a lots of patience in Burris Ewell case.Being an adult,she should have held her tears instead of crying in front of the children.This reflect her weaker,soft character.A lack of caring words for Scott had lead to constant conflict.

Calpurnia

Introduction

Calpurnia was a black woman who works as the Finch family’s cook and housekeeper. She is one of the many motherly figures in Scout’s and Jem’s life. She had been with Jem since Jem was born.  Atticus trusted Calpurnia, relies on her for support raising his children, and considers her as part of the family. She is treated by the Finchs as if she were a Finch as they see her as a member of their family. Calpurnia care for the Finch children in two different ways; as their housekeeper and as a member of the family.

Description

Calpurnia .is a friendly person whom is helpful and caring to the entire Finch family. Her skin is black and she comes from a black family and background. She was all angles and bones and she was near sighted and she sainted.Her hand was as wide as bed slat and  twice as hard.

What the character says/ does?

Calpurnia has spent all her days working for the Finchs and she does her work in a happy yet serious way. She is happy to care for and teach the Finchs. Calpurnia also taught scout how to write script on rainy days.

What other characters say about her?

Scout described her family’s black cook, Caipurnia, as strict and tyrannical. She is  very clever and well educated, a thing that most black people of that time were not. Calpurnia is also seen to be quite strict and firm with the children. Scout and Jem will also often consult Calpurnia on their ideas and questions as she listens carefully and offers useful suggestions to them. This is seen by the way Scout and Jem both treat Calpurnia as an equal, just like their father Atticus does. Atticus will everytime support for her.She is a very dominant character as she thinks that she is right at all the time.She is seen as Mr Atticus as ‘indispensable’as he mentioned to Scott that they can’t operate a single day without her.

What does it tells you about the character?

It appears to me that Calpurnia almost lives a double life; a white family member whilst working and a black woman at her home.She is very kind,caring,concerned  & helpful person who goes out of her way to inform the operator that Tim, a mad dog is on the loose.In return, she wanted the operator to in from others about this dog.She even took the trouble to go to the Radly’s house to inform about the mad dog. She acted like a ‘teacher’ when she set out a writing task for Scott to do.

Introduction

Tom Robinson is a minor character.He is a black man who stands falsely accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Atticus agrees to take his case, even though he knows it is probably hopeless, because of racial discrimination and segregation. Tom Robinson is convicted purely because he is a black man and his accuser is white.

Description

———————————Unknown—————————————————–

What the character says/ does?

Tom Robinson cares for his family and he is a helpful person and he provided for himself. Tom likes to do the right thing or does what he thinks is right

What other characters say about him ?

——————Unknown——————–

What does it tells you about the character?

It tells me that Atticus fights against racism, and a few other townspeople are on his side, including Miss Maudie and Judge Taylor.This tells me that he must be a good man or else Atticus would not have taken up his case.

Boo Radley

Introduction

Arthur is a another name of  Boo Radley. Boo Radley had a hard life mingling with his family and community. His family was never considered one of the better places to be. As a young boy, he was in trouble with the police, and his strictly parents have kept him indoors ever since. He joined with the wrong company and his father,Mr Radley punished him by keeping him indoors for 15 years. Boo never goes outside his house and nasty rumors are spread about him. He lives with Mr Radley brother,Nathan. Though the children & people have never seen him, rumors about that whatever strange things happen in the neighborhour, Boo is often blamed.

Description

The children imagine Boo as a ghoulish figure who eats cats and stalks about the neighbourhood under the cover of night. He is about six and half feet tall judging from his tracks has rotten yellow teeth, popping eyes and drooled most of the time. A long jagged ran across his face.

What the character says/ does?

He dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were blood-stained .He ate an animal raw, and he never wash the blood off.

What other characters say about him ?

Miss Maudie says that Arthur was a nice boy when she used to know him.Miss Maudie also concluded that Boo had never actually hurt anyone or done any sort of crime he was just did not like to be around people because all they did was torture him and spread rumours about him .She speaks highly of him and said that he spoke nicely to her, no matter what people said he did.However, other characters believe that he ate raw animals & his hands were blood-stained so he is considered to be of an evil-figure and project an image of cruelty and vengeance.

What does it tells you about the character?

In fact, Boo stands as a figure of innocence who befriends and protects the children in his own way.He was very kind as when there was a fire,he covered Scout with a blanket without her knowledge.Although he seemed to be a bold person, deep inside he is kind and compassionate.

Introduction

Another minor Character, Mayella Ewell.Although she is a minor character,her story is the centre of the book.The oldest of the many Ewell children, at age nineteen. She lives a miserable and lonely existence, looked down by the whites and prohibited from befriending blacks

What the character says/ does?

Mayella Ewell is a person who seeks for  attention. She does this by lying, and accusing a black man of rape. She and her father Bob Ewell, seek to improve their social standing and try to get the community to sympathize with them.

What other characters say about her?

———————–Unknown——————

What does it tells you about the character?

I thinks Mayella Ewell is an attention seeker as she wants attention so as a result,she loved Tom Robinson.She is a Hippocratic person as she say something different to her lover and father and she is not truthful to her love.She has betrayed her love and cleverly switch her part of the story in court.A person not to be trusted at all.

Introduction

Jem Finch is also known as Jeremy Finch who is the eldest in the family. He has a younger sister named Scout.Jem is 4 years older than his sister.He is motherless since the age of 6.He got his arm badly injured at the age of thirteen.That did not stop him from playing  football.His passion for this favourite game seem to be very obvious.

Description

His left arm was shorter than his right,when he stood and walked,the back of his hand was as right angled to his body,his thumb was parallel to his thigh .

What the character says/ does

Jem was a brave boy. He was brave enough to stand up and do the things he had to, even if they scared him. An example is he was so daring to touch Mr Radley house. This reflected how brave he was. Jems bravery is evident in his lifestyle, his pride, and his emotions.The Brave Jem Finch is also very hot tempered and he loved to fight. He loved to please his father and hate to disappoint him not because he wanted to avoid punishment nor Scolding.Furthermore as far as as Jem could remembered, Atticus never whipped him .That is the reason why he went back to get his pants near Radley house in the night.This also showed  his bravery to go to Radley place alone at night.He was determined and persistent to play football inspite of his left arm shorter than his right.This reflected  his strong character and he never gave up as this is indicated in his favourite  sport. Jem is quieter and more reserved than his sister, and has very high standards and expectations for people. When these expectations are not met, Jem has a difficult time resolving his feelings. Sometimes moody and sullen, sometimes kind and gentle, Jem emerges as a leader as he helps Scout understand how to get along in school and reminds her to respect Atticus and their other elders. Jem leads this change, as he is older than Scout.

What the other character says about him?

Scout knows that he always waits until he thinks it is the right time to reveal his emotions. Jeremy Jem Finch acts as Scout’s playmate and protector

What does it tells you about the character?

Jems bravery makes him conscious of his emotions and he doesn’t always want others to know how he feels.He is so courageous that even though his broke his arm,his persistence  & determination encouraged him to continue playing football.I find him rather boastful because he was bragging to Walter that he went all the way to Boo’s house. He is caring and love his sister and console her when she cried.

Introduction of Scout

Scout  is also known as Jean Louise Bullfinch. Scout is the main character in the Novel She unthinkingly rushes into fights and scrapes, cries when her pride is hurt.She is the youngest of the Finch family and she is 4 years younger than her brother,Jem. Scout is very different from most girls.She did not like to do the same things as most girls of her age. She is the kind of girl who would rather play with boys than girls, and did not have any girl friends to speak of. She always plays with Jem and her best friend Dill. Even when they say it is not for girls, she still wants to play. Atticus has taught her more than school ever taught.

Description of scout

Scout is just a straight, plain tom-boy.  She wears dirty overalls, very scruffy, has bangs and, like most tom-boys, hates to wear dresses. A tomboy at heart, Scout works hard not to “act like a girl” by wearing overalls instead of dresses and quarrels with other children who antagonize her.  She has a good vocabulary for her age. A tomboy at heart although physically she is a girl.

What the character says/ does

Scout is very warm and friendly girl. She is not racist and she does not segregate blacks and whites. Scout, because of her age, and being the youngest in the family, is impulsive by nature and extremely emotional too. She realizes how offensive they had been by tormenting Boo Radley. Though a natural tomboy, she begins to adjust to her feminine role and enjoys helping Calpurnia(A black cook and housekeeper) in the kitchen. Scout is an adorable character, with a great potential for perception She is very mature for her age.Scout is a very intelligent child who learned how to read through her natural instinct, sitting on Atticus’s lap and following along in his book.She has developed & grown up early than other children of her age. She did not discover her full potential that she could better than others until her teacher tells her she can’t read anymore. this shows that reading was a pleasure and a freedom she had taken for granted. She is a tomboy with a good heart, a smart head and plenty of pride. She treats adults as equals and they treat her as an equal. She enjoys reading very much. Extremely smart and bright for her age, Scout loves to read spends time reading with her father, Atticus, every night. She believes that everyone should be treated the same, no matter what family they are from. She is a good moral person.For instance, when she wants to spend more time with Walter Cunningham, Aunt Alexandra disagrees saying that no Finch girl should ever consort with a Cunningham. Scout is frustrated by this, as she wants to be able to choose her own friends.She is independant for her age.

What other characters say about her ?

Being Spunky and head strong and outspoken, Scout often finds herself in trouble with her father, her housekeeper, Calpurnia, her neighbours, her aunt Alexandra, and her teacher,Miss Caroline.

What does it tells you about the character?

I  believe that Scout is intelligent for her age of 6.She knows how to read compared to the other students.She is not also racist compared to the other residents in Maycomb.She does not discriminate between the whites and blacks.Although,she is a tomboy,she is very sensitive and cries when her pride is hurt. She is impulsive and quarrel when anyone antagonised her pride.She is a passionate person who loves her father and does not want to hurt his feeling by not revealing the truth when she quarrelled with Francis.She is straight forward, uncompromising towards her teacher as said that if her teacher conduct had been more friendly towards her,she would have felt sorry for her teacher.

chapter 2

page 18

-Now that I was compelled to think about it, reading was something that just came to me, as learning to fasten the seat of my union suit without looking around, or achieving two bows from a snarl of shelaces………….,but I had stared at them  all the evenings in my memory, listening to the news of the day,Bills To Be Enacted into Laws, the diaries of Lorenzo Dow -

After a dreary conversation in our living room one night about his entailment, before Mr Cunningham left he said, ‘Mr Finch, i don’t know when i’ll ever be able to pay you.’ ‘Let that be the least of your worries, Walter,’ Atticus said.

From this paragraph, we can know that author’s father’s personality. He is a very kind and magnanimous as Mr Cunningham was worried about financial problem, but Atticus said that don’t worry.
