At the VERY beginning of the novel (literally on page 1) the narrator tells us about something that happened to Jem when he was 13. What was it?

Jem learned how to play football.

In which of the following passages does the narrator reveal that the story takes place during the Great Depression?

"... bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square."

"Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it."

"People moved slowly then. They ambled across the square, shuffled in and out of the stores around it, took their time about everything."

"Atticus was related by blood or marriage to nearly every family in the town."

How does Walter get Miss Caroline's attention?

He does not know how to write his name.

Why does Scout already know the Cunningham family?

Walter's dad was a client of Atticus.

Scout's mom and Walter's mom were friends.

Jem plays football with Walter's brother.

Scout and Walter are neighbors.

Why does Miss Caroline struggle to understand her students so much?

She is an outsider who has not learned the ways of Maycomb; likewise, she is unwilling to understand where the students come from.

She is afraid of failing the children and making herself look like a fool.

She is unwilling to let go of her proud ways and is uncomfortable bending the rules.

She doesn't have the education and intelligence necessary to deal with the children of Maycomb.

What can we infer about the reason why Atticus chose to reveal to Jem and Scout that they were indeed poor.

His confession helps the kids understand that their name and status makes them no better than those living in extreme poverty.

His confession reveals that Atticus has been mismanaging the money he has earned.

His confession serves as an explanation for why the kids need to educate themselves.

His confession demonstrates that Atticus is afraid for the well-being of his family.

How does Mr. Cunningham pay Atticus for his legal aid?

With stovewood, hickory nuts, smilax, and holly

With stovewood, pecans, and potatoes

Mr. Cunningham works for Atticus for a year

Mr. Cunningham pays Atticus in full after he sells his farm.

What does Scout compare Miss Caroline to, and what does the comparison serve to demonstrate?

A peppermint drop; Miss Caroline is out of place and wholly ignorant of the ways of Maycomb

An evil witch; Miss Caroline has no compassion for her student's backgrounds

A dainty flower; Miss Caroline is too soft to teach the children of Maycomb

A tyrant; Miss Caroline is always winning arguments against Scout ever since Jem was born

Why is it important that Scout's first day of school revolves around her ability to read and write?

Miss Caroline's insistence on "undoing the damage" done to Scout mirrors how higher levels of society try to "fix" culture, traditions, and lifestyles of lower social classes.

Scout's ability to read shows that Atticus actually cares enough to teach his children at home.

Scout's inability to read and write highlights how society needs to help the lower classes attain a higher level of education.

Miss Caroline's impression of Scout shows how people should never judge a book by its cover.

The Radley place attracts the children because

Mystery surrounds the house and the family due to rumors of a “phantom” living inside

Mrs. Radley bakes sweets and feeds the neighborhood children frequently

The Radleys are rich and have nice toys to play with

The house is abandoned and the children like to throw rocks at the house’s windows

What does Atticus mean when he says you never really understand a person until you "climb into his skin and walk around"?

You have to look at things from other people's points of view to understand them.

Walter Cunningham doesn't understand what it's like to be a Finch.

You have to make someone understand you to get your point across.

Based on what you know about the Radley's, what is the real reason why Nathan Radley plugged up the tree?
