** Literary Luminary **
I chose these paragraphs because it’s the paragraph that introduces us to Miss Maudie Atkinson. We learn what she’s like and what part in the story she might play. I chose these paragraphs because this is one of the major events in this chapter. Jem tries to deliver a note too Boo Radley and Boo sees Jem and fires a gun in the air, then makes a threat that next time he’ll shoot anyone who makes a noise in his yard. I chose this paragraph because it tells us what happened after Jem returned to the Radley’s to get his pants back. He tells Scout that they were folded across the fence like they were expecting him. This is a very mysterious event in the story. I chose this paragraph because it’s another mysterious event in the story. Scout and Jem have been finding objects in a knot-hole in a tree near their house and taking the objects. They wrote a note to thank whoever had been putting the objects there for them and put it in the knot-hole and the next day the hole was filled with cement. They then asked Mr. Radley if he had filled it and he said yes because it was dying, but then Atticus told them that the tree was perfectly healthy. I chose this paragraph because it’s another main event in these chapters. Miss Maudie’s house burns down. Also, while this is happening Scout is standing outside and starts to get cold. Boo Radley sneaks up and wraps a blanket around her and she doesn’t even notice. I chose this paragraph because we find out that Miss Maudie died and that she had been dying for a while. She was addicted to morphine and she was trying to break herself from it before she died.
