- 23. Multiple Choice
Part A: In what direction do you think this novel will take in Part Two?
Atticus will remarry. The first part was to show the Finch children's lives without a mother and the second part will show the improvement (and struggles) a maternal figure can make.
The second part of the this book will show Scout and Jem as adults reminiscing on the impact their father made in their lives after he has passed away.
The story will now revolve around Atticus's trial through the eyes of Scout.
- 24. Multiple Choice
Part B: What leads you to believe this is what will happen in Part Two of the novel?
I think a wife for Atticus was foreshadowed through Mrs. Dubose saying it was a shame that he did not remarry.
There has been too much mention of this mysterious trial in the last few chapters for it not to be a focal point of this story.
This story is told in flashback. I can't imagine it entirely revolves around a few years of Jem and Scout's childhood.
- 25. Multiple Choice
What event best reflects the respect Scout has for Atticus?
Her anticipation of telling everyone at school about "Ol' One Shot Finch" after Atticus shot Tim Johnson (rabid dog).

She beat up Walter Cunningham.

- 28. Multiple Choice
"For the life of me, I did not understand how he could sit there in cold blood and read a newspaper when his only son stood an excellent chance of being murdered with a Confederate Army relic."
How does this reflect the childlike tone of this novel?
Children frequently exaggerate their feelings for attention.
Scout is legitimately concerned for Jem's life. An adult, such as Atticus, knows that Mrs. Dubose murdering Jem is improbable.
Mrs. Dubose is comparable to the witch in the story Hansel and Gretel.
This is not childlike at all.
- 29. Multiple Choice
"Your father's right. Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

Atticus will take Jem's air rifle away because it is giving him the wrong idea about courage.
Jem will have to make a choice between using his air rifle to be courageous or another, less aggressive, approach.
The discovery of the real reason why Atticus no longer shoots a gun.
The quiet courage the Finch family will have to possess during the trial of Tom Robinson.

What clues or explanation best describes how you figured out the definition of iniquities?
Because Scout suggested that Atticus lose no time in packing her (Calpurnia) off, I assumed Calpurnia would be fired.
I saw the word "quit" within the word iniquities
It was clear when Scout claimed that she (Calpurnia) likes Jem better.
The knowledge that Calpurnia has been with the Finch family for a long time led me to believe she was old.
- 35. Multiple Choice
"Jem and Walter returned to school ahead of me: staying behind to advise Atticus of Calpurnia's iniquities was worth a solitary sprint past the Radley Place. 'She likes Jem better'n she likes me, anyway,' I concluded and suggested that Atticus lose no time in packing her off." - Scout Finch

"Jem and Walter returned to school ahead of me: staying behind to advise Atticus of Calpurnia's iniquities was worth a solitary sprint past the Radley Place. 'She likes Jem better'n she likes me, anyway,' I concluded and suggested that Atticus lose no time in packing her off." - Scout Finch
What clues or explanations best describe how you figured out the definition of solitary?
I don't think Scout is afraid of the Radley Place as Jem is. I think she would find comfort in her bravery.
I know that Scout and Jem are afraid of the Radley Place, therefore it would be a big deal fro Scout to run past it alone.
I think that Jem and Walter waited for Scout before crossing in front of the Radley House showing Jem's support of his little sister.
The fact that Scout was mad that Jem didn't get in trouble with Calpurnia suggested to me that she wanted to be alone.
