5 Lee s narrative technique the reader stays home with Scout while Jem gets his pants so she can create suspense (in the next chapter, something about Jem s pants is revealed) Motif it s not time to worry yet This line is repeated throughout the novel Scout uses it as comfort Theme courage: Jem confronts a lot things in this chapter The Radley house Adults Nathan Radley s shotgun The fact that he did something wrong Ch How does Scout feel about second grade?

Because he s nice she almost throws up when she finds out it s him (72) The children are threatened by snow (something that is just unfamiliar and can t hurt them) and a fire (something that can actually harm them). This will parallel to the Boo Radley plot; Boo is someone who is unfamiliar to the children, but he doesn t seem to want to harm them. In Part 2, we will meet someone who is like the fire; someone who wants to harm them. 29. What character traits does Miss Maudie show when she reacts to the burning of her house?

Black man that Atticus is defending; says if he didn t defend him he couldn t hold his head up in town; Judge Taylor appoints him because he thinks he s the only one who can handle it (75) Atticus and Maudie deliver lines that shape the children s ideas about race. They both insist on calling people by a single name. Atticus says, I m simply defending a Negro his name is Tom Robinson. Maudie says, His name is Arthur and he s alive. (75) Theme courage: Atticus says, Simply because we were licked (76). Scout will learn to fight in the face of assured loss. This also ties in with the losing battles motif. 33.
