How different, if at all, should one’s behavior be at home and in the public? What might this say about the home or the person in general?

2. Chapter 3: Atticus tells Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view” (Lee 30) (Lee 39).

So far in the book, who should have considered things from a different point of view? Why is this so hard for people to do sometimes?

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD REVIEW QUOTES1. Chapter 5: Miss Maudie tells the children,

Who is Arthur? What other name do we know him by, and how much of what the town says, do you believe is true?

2. Chapter 5: Miss Maudie tells Scout that “Mr. Radley (Boo’s dad) was a foot-washing Baptist” and goes on to say that some men worry so much “about the next world” they never learned “to live in this one” (Lee 45) (Lee 60).

What is Maudie suggesting about Mr. Radley and his treatment of Boo? Is Mr. Radley a good man? Is he a good father?

Jem. He pointed. ‘Looka yonder.’ In a group of neighbors Atticus was standing with his hands in his overcoat pockets. He might have been watching a football game. ‘See there, he’s not worried yet,’ said Jem”(Lee 70) (Lee 94).

What is happening in this quote? What type of person is Atticus? What does he provide for his

kids directly (in what he says) and indirectly (in how he acts)?
