Also, this week I'd like you to read chapter 1 of To Kill A Mockingbird. You can also watch the movie on Amazon for free if you have AMAZON PRIME or you can rent it for $3.99.
Study Questions:
Chapters 1-4 Questions
What is the background of the Finch family? Where did they come from?
List three allusions from Chapter 1.
Who is Dill? What is Dill like?
How does the book start with a foreshadow?
What happens at school during Scout's first day?
Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?
What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life?
What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?
Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is?
Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? (In the last chapter of the novel, Scout repeats this, but she changes “skin” to “shoes” - this is probably not a mistake: Harper Lee suggests that Scout cannot clearly recall exactly what Atticus said and when, but the reader can check this!)
What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells?
