Chapter 15 theme

The main theme in chapter 15 is prejedice. Mr. Tate and lots of other town people come to Atticus and tell him if he wants to defend Tom Robinson. They say they cannot hold him much longer in jail and he has to do it or not. Jem and Scout are worried because they thought someone died because when a group of people come tp your house it's either someone died or something else. Atticus still agreees to defend Tom Robinson.

3 broken norms

Three people that broke some norms are Jem, Scout and Mrs. Dubose broke Implicit rules. Jem broke the rule because he breaks Mrs.Dubose flowers with Scout's baton because she always would yell at them to get off her property. Also, she called Atticus an n-lover. Mrs.Dubose broke a norm because she called Atticus an n-lover because he was doing the right thing and respected the black people. Scout broke a norm because she would beat up people and that is not what girls would do often. She does not want to be a lady apparantly.

Atticus's norm

Atticus follows the personal norm because he was willing to defend Tom Robinson's case. Everyone thought that was unright because Tom is black and they should not get a lawyer. But, Atticus Knows what is right and agrees to defend him. This tells me that Atticus doesn't care what people say, he cares what is right and proves everyone else he is a nice guy. And because he is doing what is right Cal, Tom, and the whole First Purchase appreciates and respects him.

pg.133-134

Atticus told Jem and Scoutt live up the finch family name. He said Aunt Alexandra is concerned and wants them to be A gentleman and a lady. Jem and Scout are astonished and later they ae even more astonished when Atticus yells a Scout for combing her hair and making noise. When scout says it takes a woman to do that kind of work she meant that she is a girl and she doesnt have to do it only woman do it. She does not count herself as a woman yet. But Aunt Alexandra thinks its time for her to learn the way a woman works.

Chapter 10

Jem and me saw the most wierdest thing today. Our father, Atticus, shot the dog and we never Knew that he could shoot. He always told us that it was bad to shoot something, but the dog had rabbies so I guess that the dog deserved to die. If he lived he would have infested our town with rabbies. Later, we were told that Atticus was called " One shot Finch ." I was going to tell everyone in school about how our father was the best shooter in town, but Jem said " If Atticus wanted us to Know he could shoot he would have told us." I figured he was right so I didn't tell.

Chapter 7 as Jem

Me and Scout saw white stuff falling from the sky, We thought the world was ending but Atticus said it was only snow. we went outside bacause we were curious about it and when we went outside the snow was cold and it was sticking to thee ground. scout and me told Miss Maudie if we can borrow some of hers she said we can take it all. We went to the front and i came up with an idea to build a snowman. i got dirt rolled it up into a ball and then i put snow over top of it. We thought it looked like Mr. Avery. When Atticus came home i showed him our snowman and he liked it except that we should cover him up a bit. i went to miss maudie and took her hat and put it on top of the snowman. unfortunatly miss maudie saw me and told me to give it back. we had a fun day today and hope it would snow again.
