Chapters 16-19
To Kill a Mockingbird
1. Beginning of Chapter 16
"'So it took an eight-year old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it?' said Atticus. 'That proves something-that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human.'"
2. This quote shows how Scout, a little child, stopped a whole crush of men from hurting or doing anything to Atticus. All humans at one point or another come to their senses of to what they're doing, and for this case that point came when Scout tried to be nice to Mr.Cunningham.
3. I have learned that Scout is a very interesting individual with this quote. Despite her being way out of place when she burst into the mob, she still was nice to Mr.Cunningham, which in turn made him decide against hurting Atticus. I think that incidents like these are what shape Scout, and I think that as the story progresses we will see more of these awkward moments in Scout's life.

Questions
1. I think that the jury is going to say that Tom Robinson is guilty. Because they live in a prejudice part of the country and no matter who was the defendant, who were the lawyers, or who the plaintiff was, the fact that the defendant was black decided the case against him.
2. I don't think anyone raped Mayella. I think that Bob Ewell abused her then just used the excuse rape to explain why she had all the bruises on her face. Bob Ewell probably abused her because he though "How dare she kiss a black man" and thought that she needed punishing.
Quote
Tad chose this quote, so I don't know who chose it first, but its like listening to the broken record because you guys had basically the same response and significance too.
1. FOOOOOL you copied mine well read my blog of what i think
2. well im sure that there going to say tom robinson because he is a black man, and the jury are people who are racist and don't know Tom personally. so i think that they will say guilty
3 i think that Mr. Ewell did but not more of pare then beatings, because i think he attacked her then raped her.
