Hi fellow students! Here are the questions from chapters 6-10.
Chapter 6 – On page 51 Dill suggests to Jem they go for a walk. The author said this about Dill’s behavior. “He sounded fishy to me. Nobody in Maycomb just went for a walk. What do you think the meaning of those two sentences is?
Chapter 7 – In chapter 7 we learn that Nathan Radley filled the knothole with cement because according to him the tree was dying. Jem asked Atticus if he thought the tree was dying but Atticus said no, due to the fact that the tree was green and healthy looking. Why do you think Nathan Radley lied about why he put cement in the knothole?
Chapter 8 – Scout thinks that the world is coming to an end. Explain what she sees that causes her to think that and what stories she has heard to make her believe that to be true.
Chapter 9 – Scout almost got into a fight with Cecil Jacobs in the school yard. Why did she walk away and did her actions make sense to you?
Chapter 10 – What is the reason given for Atticus no longer hunting or shooting a gun? What does this tell you about his character?

Chapter 7:
In this chapter Nathan Radley cemented the knothole in the not-dieing of his. He said that he cemented it because it was dieing, but Jem found out from Atticus that the tree in fact was not dieing. In my opinion of reading these chapters i think that he said the tree was dieing because the "present leaver in the tree" was in fact dieing himself. That is why I think Mr. Radley cemented the knothole.
Sam,
You could be correct that Boo Radley, who was the person leaving the presents, indeed was dying in some way. Read on to see if you were correct in your assumptions.
Keep thinking,

I think that there could be a multitude of reasons why Nathan Radley filled the knothhole. But I really just think that he filled the knothole because he didn't want any one in their business. He wanted to break the connection from the whole town to his family.
Teah,
I think you are on to something. It does appear that Nathan Radley wants to make sure that NO one can communicate in any way with any of the Radleys. Good insight!
Diane
