Response to blog about chapter 27:
The grownups decided to have a Halloween pageant because the previous year, many kids had moved all the furniture from the living room to the cellar of Miss Tutti and Miss Frutti Barber. Miss Tutti and Miss Frutti are two elderly ladies who are sisters and are both deaf. This was a very cruel prank the ladies were upset. The police needed to use hounds to locate the furniture, and they went back to the cellar door. Every kid kept their shoes on so the hounds would not find them. The adults decided that the kids of Maycomb should no longer be unsupervised, so they have the Halloween pageant. There was a pageant for the adults and for the kids there was apple-bobbing, taffy-pulling, and pinning the tail on the donkey. This pageant made it so that there would be no more vandalizing of houses and pranks pulled on people. That is why the grownups decided to have a Halloween pageant.

I think Atticus chose to read the story "The Gray Ghost" to Scout is because it repeats the theme of the book and sums it up. "You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them," says Atticus. I think that is the theme of the book. In the book, it talks about how some kids accused another kid of messing up their club house and throwing ink all over it, and they chase him. They couldn't catch him because they didn't know what he looked like. When they actually saw him, he was nice and he didn't do any of the bad things. This is a simplified example of the theme of the book. The theme is also showed with Ms.Dubose earlier in the book. Scout and Jem accuse her of being a wicked old lady. When they really got to know her, they realized that she was going through a hard time and was trying to stop the morphine injections that she was relying on before she died. That is why she was throwing fits. They felt bad for her when she died and they got an important lesson out of it. This lesson also is shown with Boo. Everyone in Maycomb discriminates against him. This is because he is an outcast and never leaves his house. They therefore think he is evil and dangerous. Once Scout realizes that it was him who saved her and Jem and she talks to him, she finds he is a very nice person. That is why I think that Atticus chooses to read "the Gray Ghost" to Scout.
Great job Tyler. Your answers show good thought and analysis of the text.

Scout is confused when miss gate talks about how she dislikes hitler because she says that hitler is prejudice against the jews and that he is bad because of that. however during the trial scout heard miss gate talk about how the black people needed to be set right and that tom robinson deserved to be put in jail because he was black. scout was confused because her teacher who was talking about not being prejudice was infact prejudice toward black people.
