Chapter 1
Do you think the stories about Arthur “Boo” Radley are true or just rumors? Why or why not? What parts do you think really happened and which do you think are just gossip?
Chapter 2
Imagine you are a student in Miss Caroline’s class on the first day of school. What are your first impressions of her and the way she teaches?
Chapter 3
Atticus says of the Ewell family, “Sometimes it’s better to bend the law a little in special cases.” However, as far as Scout is concerned he says, “In your case, the law remains rigid.” Do you think it is ever OK to bend the rules or the law for “special cases?” Why or why not?
Chapter 4
Who do you think put the gum and the small box in the oak tree? Why do you think they put it there?
Chapter 5
What do you think would have happened if Atticus wouldn’t have caught Jem, Dill, and Scout trying to get the letter to Boo Radley? How would you have gotten the letter to Boo?

Chapter 1:
I think that some fact might be based in the rumors of Boo Radley, but that most are just gossip. I think the parts about the gang are true, and the fact that he stabbed his father in the leg, because they seem the most realistic parts of the story. I think the story as a whole is mostly fiction, because the father seemed very strict, but not enough to keep his son locked up for about 15 years, nor stay wit hhim. I also doubted that the judge would have trusted him so much, or the fact that after Boo stabs his parent in the leg, he would have let him go back home with the man he stabbed. I also don't trust the source, because it states in the book that Miss stephanie Crawford was the town gossip, "who knew everything", which makes it unlikely that she or the person she heard the story from didn't stretch the truth.
I like how you answered the questions with evidence from the story. I agree that Miss Stephanie Crawford seems to be the "town gossip" and most of the information is just that - gossip.
Chapter 1- I think that all of the things said about Boo Radley are rumors. I think that maybe some have parts of the truth, but nothing more than a small piece. It might be true that he joined a gang, but I doubt the judge would have let him off. Also, all of this information came from, Miss Stephanie Crawford, who enjoys to gossip. It didn't think it would be true.
We all know how easy it is for rumors to get started. From there they usually snowball. I agree with you that most of them are rumors. All it takes is one person to start spreading lies before everyone believes them!
Kara,
I liked that you pointed out that you don't trust the source about Boo Radley and used information from the book stating that Miss Stephanie Crawford was the town gossip.
Imagine you are a student in Miss Caroline’s class on the first day of school. What are your first impressions of her and the way she teaches?
I think I would be really upset if I had a teacher like Miss. Caroline, because I think its rude to judge someoe just because they are more talented than anyone else in the class and because they know more than the teacher thinks they should know.
