Choice C: So far, is this a novel about race? Class? Gender? Coming of Age? Place? Select and defend your answer.

I think that this book mostly has racism because some of the characters are too racist and they talk a lot about the Negros. Jem and Scout don’t really care about the line between colored and whites. This is also about class for example the Ewell’s are the poorest people in Maycomb. The Finch family is one of the richest families in Maycomb. For gander Jem and Dill started hanging out and then Scout felt left out and she started hanging out with Miss. Muddie. I think that the way how Aunt Alexandra wanted to make her dress like a girl because guys would start liking her. Jem stopped hanging out with his sister because he thought that he was too old to be bothered or to be hanging ¬out with his sister.

Chapters 10,11 & 12
Perspective: Scout

Is so sad how Atticus was almost 50 and I thought Atticus was so boring until the dog with rabies was about to attack when he shot the gog it was so amazing that changed everything but I wonder why he never told us.
Ms. Dubose is a very mean old women in out neighborhood. When we went by her house she was saying mean thing about Atticus and and Jem start to destroy some of her flowers. Atticus heard about what was happening and Jem apologize he. I think don't that was fair because she was say mean things about him I didn't think he should be defending her. The worse part is that he let her decide the punishment and she want him to read to her, after school for one whole month. I flowed Jem and when Jem was does done Ms. Dubose died. Atticus told us that she died because she was very sick and and she was addicted to something.
Jem thinks he is too old to be annoyed by me and Dill isn't coming to Maycomb this summer which makes me very sad. Cal took use to the church and when we came back Aunt Alexandra was there waiting for use.

Perspective: Scout

When I looked out side I thought the world was ending because it was something I had never seen before and I didn't what was going on out side. When I told Atticus he said it wasn't I was freaked out. Jem and Atticus know what was snow and when I found out what it was and actually the most amazing thing once I put it in my moth because it was so cold It was hot..We decided to make a snow man out of the snow but we didn't have enough so we when to Miss. Muddies and got more snow I didn't know how to make Jem didn't know how to make a snowman ether did I so We were just had come up with an idea.
Latter at night Miss. Muddies house was on fire and we had to wait in front of the Radley house. I was freezing. I was worried about what was going to happen. I told Jem to hug me to get me warm but it wasn't enough to warm me up. When I woke up I found a blanket I had never scene and I asked Atticus and he said that it was Boo Radley and I was so distracted that I didn't notice when Boo Radley put the blanket on my shoulders. I also found Miss Muddie “in good spirits” in her yard and she was talking about expanding her garden.
It was also Christmastime and Atticus told me that if anyones says anything about him defending a Negro I shouldn't pay attention to what people say. Francis Rose called Atticus a “Nigger Lover” I felt I was actually going to kill Francis so I punched he's teeth and Uncle Jack saw everything I didn't really want to do it because Atticus told me not to pay attention to what people say about him. I was talking to him he said he was going to tell Atticusthen I accidentally told uncle jack he should die I really didn't mean it. It just came out of my mouth that way because I was mad and I couldn't control my mouth. I tried saying sorry but he told me to leave and I couldn't because I felt guilty. When he opened the door I told him I didn't mean to say that but then I didn't want him to tell Atticus and I told him the reason why and he said that he was not going to tell him and

Chapters 4-7
Perspective: Dill
I returned to Maycome. Everything was fun until Scout was rolling in the tire and smashed into the Radley House. Then Jem and Scout started to panic. When Jem and I started being closer friends Scout felt as if she was being left out of the friendship so then she started hanging out with her neighbor Miss Maudie Atkinson.
Jem and I wrote a note for Boo Radley and we wrote on the note that we would invite him to eat ice-cream with us. We tried putting on one of the window with a fish hook but Atticus caught us and he said “stop tormenting the man” or with the “Boo Radley” games.
Jem and I looked in the window to check if Boo was their but then Scout came. She tried convincing us from not going to the Radley house and we didn't really pay attention to what she said. When we entered the Radley house we heard a gunshot and when we tried getting out Jem got caught on the fence because the only way that we could get out was going under the fence because there was hole under it. When Atticus saw Jem he asked him what had happened to him pants. The only thing that I could have said was the we were playing strip poker.

Question 1: 10)What advice would you give a particular character? Why?
Response 1: I would tell Helena to give up on Demetrius because how I can see he really doesn't love her and he will never love her. Also, I would tell her to try moving on even though it is hard for her. She shouldn't be mean to Lysander because he wasn't being mean to her she should try being a bit nicer.

Question 2: 5) What was one of you favorite lines (or sentences) in what you read today? Copy down and tell me why you liked it. (It can be be more than one sentence if you like but not too long-you still need to write words of your own!)
response 2: ( Demetrius didn't love Helena.) “Oh Helena” he gasped, sitting up. Oh perfect! Divine! Let me kiss you, my princess of pure white!” Demetrius lean out to kiss her, and for a moment Helena leaned towards him, but then her jaw dropped open and she jumped back. “Oh spite! Oh hell!” she cried. “Now I see what's going on. You're both in on this little prank, aren't you?
