Chapters 6 - 10

Hello again everyone! I hope that you are enjoying “To Kill a Mockingbird” as much as I am! Here are a few questions from Chapters 6 – 10.

Chapter 6

Explain what happened when Jem, Scout, and Dill went to the Radley Place.

Chapter 7

On page 57, Scout said “I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk around in it”, what does she mean by this statement?

Chapter 8

Describe Jem and Scout’s reaction to the snow.

Chapter 9

On page 89, Scout said “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”, why do you think that Atticus wanted Scout to hear himself and Uncle Jack talking?

Chapter 10

Why was it a sin to kill a mockingbird?

Hello everyone!!! Let's see how you answer these questions from chapters 6-10.

Chapter 6
What is Nathan Radley’s excuse for shooting his shotgun? What does this say about the time period in which this story takes place?

Chapter 7
The reader has to infer that Boo Radley was the person who mended Jem’s pants and placed the presents in the knothole of the tree. Why does the author use this technique to tell Boo’s story?

Chapter 8
What do you believe the unseasonable snow and fire at Miss Maudie’s house represent in this chapter?

Chapter 9
The Finch family begins to face adversity, due to Atticus defending Tom Robinson. How does Atticus react to the negativity and what does he tell his children to do if faced with a difficult situation? What moral values are important to Atticus?

Chapter 10
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…..but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” (this is a powerful quote) What significance does this quote have in regards to the book To Kill a Mockingbird?

Chapter 7,
The author used this description because he wanted the readers to know what Boo was like and how he loved all the children . Boo is really a nice person and the author is trying to prove that in chapter 7.

Chapter 6

Mr.Radley shot at a "negro", but he shot it in the air to scare him. I think it was taken place during the time of secrogation during around the 1950's and 1960's.

Chapter 7
On page 57 when Scout talked shot walking around in Jem's skin he was talking about seeing thing the way Jem see's them. Almost like saying talking a walk in someone else shoes that you expirence the same things as the other person.

Audrey,

Thank you for answering my question! I agree with your answer. I also believe that this statement that Scout has made refers to Scout wanting to see how Jem actually feels about things. I liked how you mentioned that it is the same as when someone says ‘walking in someone else’s shoes’. I believe that these two statements are very similar in that they both refer to finding out about someone else’s feelings on a particular situation. I hope that you are enjoying the book!
