ReplyDelete-We saw courage when Jem took Dill's dare, and we found Boo Raadley's story interesting.
-We thought that how the author chose to write the story with details of her own past interesting and important to help us and other readers understand the book. We found it interesting on the amount of details she uses in the story. Dill was based on her neighbor but in real life their friendship ended because of drugs and alcohol.

ReplyDelete- We thought it was courageous of Jem to accept the dare given by Dill.
We think that Dill having the bet to touch the house can be the start of the problems in the first chapter. When Scout and Jem first meet Dill, Dill says that he can read and seems very proud about it. During the time of the Great Depression was it uncommon for a kid there age to be able to read? In the Harper Lee article in the fourth paragraph it talks about how Scout's father was a young lawyer who had to defend two men of killing a white man. We think it was unfair how Atticus had never had a criminal case before and the hearing for most black men took less than 30 minutes to resolve. In the first paragraph on the back page we found that it was sad that Harper's and Truman's friendship ended with drugs and alcohol. - Bryce, Kali, Mikala
