Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, She is considered smart for her age. She is
also a tomboy who spends majority of her time with her brother. She gets
in trouble with her teacher Ms. Caroline because she wants Scout to
learn reading and writing her own way. She matures from age 6 to age 8
in this novel but still retains the childish but that is normall for her age. The novel is written from the point of view of
an adult Scout and she viewed things as a child, and she
often comments about how she didnt understand something at the time but now having grown up she knows how to be mature. She is the only one of the novels three children Dill, Jem, and herself to see and speak to Boo
Radley during the course of the novel.
Scout was terrified of the Boo but once she actually sees him she realizes that he is a good guy She learns the true meaning of getting to know someone before
judging them for who they are not by getting in their skin and walking around in it. By
the end she is sad that she never gave Boo anything back as boo gave
them treasures and saved their lives. She is an innocent child and has
not yet been able to understand the concepts of being a mature adult. Scout was confused by some of the words and names she's heard
people talking about her father Atticus since many of her
classmates call Atticus a nigger lover. Scout does not
know how to handle these situations because she's only six so she solves her problems by
fighting.
Scout is also engaged to Dill, She is
also an inspiration to her father. She saves the lives of others when a
mob is trying to attack Atticus. Scout says to Mr. Cunningham about
inviting his son over for dinner and that he was a nice boy. Mr.
Cunningham then tells the other mob members to get back in their cars
and leave them alone. The mob acuttually listen and they all got back in their cars and then Scout didn't even mean to save her father's life.

VISH DIRECTOR CHAPTER 17-21
i found myself thinking about how horrible it would to be living in life of all the characters in this section, all of the racism and blacks getting blamed for stuff they didn't do and they cant do anything about it. the section in the last chapter where they where in court and creating everyone equally. one of the most important ideas in this section is that you should create everyone equal no mater what the other person is like or has done or anything you have against them you should not let that discrimination show you should love everyone like the famous quote "keep your friends close but you're enemies closer". If i could ask the author any question i would ask what got her started writing this book what was her inspiration to write it and keep going and take all the time she did to perfect it. Our literature circle had a short discussion but we agreed on just about everything, i think that was the reason it did not take as long as others literature circles, one of the biggest arguments we had in our literature circle was if aticus was raised properly paige and colton thought she was not brought up right but they didnt have much evidence why or how she was, and me amy thought she was brought up right because she helped set up for the trial she wants all the racism to end. i am so glad i live in a good comunity that has freindly black people and white people and everyone can get along with out fighting or arguing and creating a conflict and we cna talk to talk about anything with our close friends just like aticus did to her aticus told her everything.

vish sumerizer chapters12-16
the setting of the chapters 12-16 is the maycomb country court house, and the town of maycomb Alabama.a main point in this story is one was argument against the south in court this is important from all the blacks and whites. This important invent in this section because the relations with the blacks and whites and that blacks cant get away with anything or even if their being acused of doing something they have not done and the black man that the white girl said he rapped her because she came and jummped on him and he through her off right away the tone of this section was mellow but still lots actiong and stories, in the beging when their was not as much contraversy and then later in the story it gets more exciting more action and contravesy. my lititure cicle taked for a short time but we all had alot of different ansers to the story. this section and the chapters before let me know that i live in a alot better cocioety today. i think we just need to make a better effort to make our societey better today because it seems its getting worse more people are abusing blacks and being rscist wich i think is wrong.

vishconectorchapters6-11
I can make a connection to my work I have been seeing more and more
black people around every time I see one it reminds me of TKMB. I can relate to
some of the conflicts in the book to some of the conflicts I have with my mom
for example no you cant do that! Why? I don’t want you to get hurt. I have a
black friend he’s 19 he hate being called black or people being raciest towards
him or others. i have really read anything with big similarities to TKMB but i
have watched lots of movies and TV shows or informational; videos in school. I didn’t
hear anyone say that this book is confusing and I think its very confusing. I
am in group two and our literature circle was pretty mellow sometimes it
got a little retie when we disagreed for example we all disagreed on what the
ball of yarn and clock symbolizes and if they will mean any thing later in the
story Colton thought it symbolizes that this book will revolve around time and Paige
didn't think they are going to mean anything later in the story. These chapters
relate to my life in Kalispell from all the racism that goes around the school
and even more outside of school.

vishilluminator chapters 1-5
the setting of the story is in make home Alabama.the most important event in this story is when the little boys found the stuff in the knot hole i think that will have a roll through the story. they are important. it think that the ball of yarn is an important symbol because a ball of yarn takes a long time to use it all, it lasts a long time just like the racithe sm in the book. the author dose a good job describing the setting in words, i can picture it pefectly in my mind for example, he was a thin leathery man with colorless eyes, so colorless they didnt reflect light. atticus didnt want to let jem be a lawyer that wasa could conflict in the chapter 5, the author made it interesting by converting the start of the conflic with a question. the tone/mood of this section was tense with lots of conflicts and arguing causing lots of tention bewtween charecters. if jem was in my liturature cicle, i think she would have alot of atitude just like in the book and arguing with anything she thinks is wrong, she was veary brave and exspressed all her feelings to anyone she was around.
