I am reading, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, and I am on page 42. This book is about a girl named Scout and a boy named Jem. In this journal I will be predicting and evaluating.I predict that the kids will not meet Boo. Boo is locked away in a house. Boo has joined a gang in the past. Boo has struck his father’s leg with a scissors. For what he has done his father has insisted for him to stay locked in their house for 15 years instead of making up him time in prison. The reason why he would rather lock him away in the house than for him to go to jail is because his father is embarrassed. Boo’s family is antisocial, and they never interact with anyone outside of their house. Their family doesn’t go to church, Boo’s father walks alone

    Dialectical Journal For To Kill A Mockingbird

    Within this journal, I will be evaluating the themes in To Kill A Mockingbird. To begin, one of the themes displayed in the novel is the coexistence of the innocent and evil.

The jury knew Tom was innocent but back then, blacks were always guilty no matter the situaton.…

    I would rate this book 6 or 7 out of 10, because is was very detailed on what it was saying and I could imagine what was going on in the book. The thing that I did not like in the book. The story ends with Scout well on her way to growing up, as well. She now has some idea of what being a lady involves, and she no longer seems to mind so much. But importantly, Lee leaves readers with the remembrance that Scout the narrator is still a little girl.…

But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” After researching the Great Depression, I discovered that the quote, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself” is the most famous phrase from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first inaugural speech. FDR gave his inaugural speech after his election in 1932. From this, we can conclude that the story began in 1933.…
