Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed the first five chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird. Here are some questions for you - the question numbers align with the chapters.
1. In Chapter One (p.5), Lee describes Maycomb as a “tired old town”. What literary tool is she using here? What makes Maycomb “tired”?
2. On Scout’s first day at school, Miss Caroline seems annoyed that she is able to read. Why, according to Miss Caroline, should Scout stop learning to read on her own? Do you think she is genuinely concerned about Scout’s reading ability?
3. What does Jem’s invitation to Walter to join the Finch family for dinner indicate about Jem’s character?
4. Do you think the discovery of chewing gum in the knothole of the oak tree is important to this story? Why?
5. Analyze Miss Maudie’s attitude toward “Boo” Radley. Do you think her comments influence Scout’s opinion of him? If so, how?
