CH 26

If I was Scout and I had to talk about a current event, I would talk about the death of Tom Robinson. Children think of death, guilt, punishment, even the crime in innocent and unexpected ways. I would be interested to hear what the children of Maycomb think about such a complex subject. Also it would provide insight into the opinions of the children's parents. Children pick up a lot of their morals and personal opinions at home, so by talking to the kids, you'd hear a reflection of their parents beliefs.

Caitlin F.,

It is such a shame that young children have to come to terms with such adult topics. You are correct about children picking up a belief system from their environment. Sometimes it is positive and sometimes negative.
