These chapters start the story off in a setting somewhere around the 1930s. Scout, Jem, or Dill are located in many places but to be specific, scenes mostly take place down Scouts street, in speaking distance from Calpurnia. Around the Radley Place is a common scene they're at as well. School, of course, pops up in there too.
Some main events that have happened, are basically the ones that take place in all of these settings. These events would include Scout and Jem meeting Dill, and Dill turning on Scout to only hang out with Jem. Another is Scout first starts school in this selection and the teacher gets mad at her for knowing too much already.Burris Ewell walking out at school. Walter Cunningham has also been invited to dinner, and Scout ends up being kicked out of the dining area for being a tad too curious. Also, almost all of the scenes that involved the Radley Place, or just the Radleys in general was an important event. To be more specific, the dare that Jem took on to touch the house, and them sprinting as fast as they could. Them finding the rare coins in the tree, with the untouched gum. As well as Jem, Dill, and Scout recreating the Radley's rumors in their own little play that only them three know about, along with some suspicions of Atticus. Jem rolling the tire with Scout inside to the Radley Place. Dill and Jem plotting to send Boo Radley a note and pulling Scout along. All of these events were main events to pay attention to.
These events all symbolize the begginning to many new mysteries. They show who the main characters are, and who many important characters will be. The secondary characters are hinted slowly, but are still incorporated in these chapters.
Most of these events influence the characters to feel fear toward Boo Radley and the Radley Place. They make the kids watch what they say and do. Which is somewhat opposite of the mood in the story. While reading, you sense a laid back life not to quick, but not too slow either. A nice, calm, and steady pace.
In the Literature Circle, we all basically just read the questions and answers. Many different oppinions were shared, though not in a rude mannor at all. Some different things that I learned from everyone else, is that while we are all reading, we are all unknowingly connecting this story with our childhood. We are all comparing it to our own lifestyle. So in other words, we may be reading the same book, but are all reading it differently.
While in the Circle, I have learned that to continue and to hold a strong conversation, many ideas and thoughts need to presented. You cannot be bashful about your own oppinions. So throw your oppinions, ideas, and thoughts out there to have and imaginative yet productful Literature Circle!!
Great job with part 1. Be more specific with part 2 and what the group discussed. In part 3, relate the section of the book to the world around you--what does it mean to be human or be part f a community and how does what we read demonstrate that?
