http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org The blog Boo Radley lives next door to~ Mon, 01 Jun 2009 05:26:59 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en What is wrong with the fact that in confusion, Boo Radley draped a blanket over Scout? Why does Scout have to have such shame? The only things we have heard about Boo Radley are hard rumors. These kids have no hard evidence that Boo Radley is a bad person. Even ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/31/boo-radley-maycomb-snow-ch5-9/ I think it is ridiculous that Ms. Caroline is discouraging scout not to read. Does she think it is better for scout? Teachers are supposed to teach not… encourage them to be uneducated. If I were Scout I would read even more just to make Ms. Caroline angry. What kind ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/31/ms-caroline-ch-1-4/ "So if spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that's something I'll gladly take. He had to take it out on somebody and I'd rather it be me than that houseful of children out there" (Lee 218). This quote shows how caring and thoughtful Atticus ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/26/ch-21-25-atticuss-character/ The song I chose for chapters 21-25 is "Fix You" by Coldplay. I thought that this song was really appropriate for more than just the unjust and brutal death of Tom Robinson, but also Atticus' attempts to convince an obstinate jury and Jem who now feels as if all of ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/26/fix-you-chapters-21-25/ http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/zip-it.gif        "If you don't have anything good to say, keep it to yourself" is an old saying for all elementary schools nation wide. Our teachers always tell us that it is better to keep opinions to yourself so no one will get offended. Also by practicing this principle, children ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/26/chap-21-25-an-old-elementary-saying/ Life is crazy, isn't it? After all, just by growing up, people's perspective of the world starts to change. When we're kids, we sort out the world into two types of people: good and bad. And how we differentiate between the two is good = the people that follows what ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/25/welcome-to-reality-chapter-21-25/ These chapters were outrageous compared to the passed chapters. It is enough that Mr. Tom Robinson is a hated man because he is black. It is enough that he was frames for “raping” Mayella Ewell. It is enough that, Bob Ewell was the one who is supposed to be sued, ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/25/chap-21-25-enough-is-enough/ From these chapters, the main thing that readers wanted to know was, of course, the results of Tom Robinson's case. I somehow expected the results would end up like this, a white man defeating a black man. That is the outcome of all the other trials that involve African Americans ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/24/ch-21-25-the-results/ This picture represents the judge's decision/ruling. His decision not only affects Tom Robinson, but Atticus as well. In my opinion, the judge is always fair to both sides of the court.  When I realized that judges favor white people over African Americans in Maycomb, I thought that was just selfish and hateful. I believe ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/21/ch-17-20-the-judges-ruling/ During the trial, it truly became apparent on how great Atticus is. In chapters leading up to the trial, Atticus holds his head up high, refusing to give in to the prejudices other town citizens hold against Tom Robinson. I thought "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor captured this about ... http://booologlivesnextdoor.edublogs.org/2009/05/21/eye-of-the-tiger-chapters-17-20/
