I REALLY LIKE THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF THE DRAMA IN THE FIRST CHAPTER. THE FIRST CHAPTER MAKES YOU WANNA READ THE BOOK UNTIL IT ENDS.

Chapter One:
Scout describes Boo Radley as a "malevolent phantom" who is over six feet tall and eats squirrels and cats. How does this description help you (the reader) visualize Boo? What role do you think Boo is going to play in the story as it continues?

Chapter Two:
Miss Caroline Fisher scolds Scout for being able to read when she begins first grade. She tells Scout to tell her dad to stop teaching her to read, and that Miss Fisher is going to try to undo the damage. What does Miss Fisher mean that she is going to undo the damage? Do you agree with her way of teaching? Why/why not?

Chapter Three:
The chapter begins with Scout rubbing Walter Cunningham's nose in the dirt for getting her in trouble. They soon meet up with Jem, and Jem invites Walter over for dinner. Why do you think he does this? Retell what happens at the dinner table.

Chapter Four:
Explain what you think is going on with objects that Scout and Jem are finding in the tree at the Radley home. How are the objects getting there? Why are they there? Were they meant to be found?

Chapter Five:
Chapter five focuses on Boo Radley and the children's questions about him. Scout begins to talk to her neighbor, Miss Maudie, more often. How does her perception of him differ from Scout's?
