Scout ( DEJ )
Quote: “Summer and he watched his children’s heart break. Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shows and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.” (374)
Throughout the novel, Scouts sense of justice develops as the case approaches. When she first gives us her idea on how she views the case, she was puzzled but knew the jury’s decision of pleading Tom Robinson guilty was wrong. She was yet too young to see it from a mature perspective. In this quote, we see Scout finally develop some sense of justice. She recalls what Atticus said to her about understanding someone until you see things from their perspective. She sees things from his view by standing on his porch and understands why Arthur Boo Radley does not want to come out.
Reference to how Scout doesn’t really react to Tom Robinson being pleaded guilty but rather Jem.

Issue on Education/Gender
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/16/nyregion/new-york-city-school-segregation.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Feducation&action=click&contentCollection=education®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront

In a brief overview, these articles talk about segregation in schools more towards how diversity should be included in schools. Both talk about how white school students should have diversity and ranges between different students of different scores instead of making the “smart people” be able to go to a higher leveled school and be placed in a “smart class” based on their test scores. In relation to TKAMB, I see it in a way where Scout and Jem grow up surrounded by a white community isolated between the white and black. I do think however that her and Jem growing up with Calpurnia shifts how they were originally made to think or view the other side of the community.

Issues On Race
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/15/us/hit-man-lynching.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FRace%20and%20Ethnicity&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection
This article provided by NY Times talks about how a white man getting into 10 years of prison for trying to hire a “hitman” to kill his neighbor who was black. According to the NY Times, the white man also known as Mr. Lecroy also tried to contact the “white supremacist group” to do the job for them. He eventually hired an undercover FBI agent who caught his plan. He was intending to take his property; reported as a hate crime. Both the article and novel are related because they deal with hate crimes more specifically towards race. In TKAMB, Bob Ewell knows that he hit Mayella which caused her mark beatings. However, his dislike of colored people more specifically white people in Maycomb makes him lie and threaten Mayella to lie as well. Like the case, Lecroy had hate towards his neighbor because he was black and tried to hire someone to kill him.

Nightmare
After the pageant, Jem and me were walking home and we stumbled upon noises. I thought Jem was trying to scare me as revenge. Me and him thought it was Cecil trying to scare us from behind as always so when we heard the noise getting closer, we jumped and turned around and screamed at Cecil to scare him instead... Someone came from behind us I suppose and strangled me and Jem. I heard Jem fall and be thrown to the floor. The body was holding me then I was released. I couldn’t see anything because it was night but I ran away from the trees and saw the way home. I ran to Atticus and told him what happened. I was worried about Jem and where he was thinking he was the one to save me. When Mr. Tate interrogated me, I told him I couldn’t see much because it was dark but I think that Jem saved me and made the body let go of me. After it was settled, Jem appeared and Tate showed me a man who said saved me and Jem. I thought... it was Boo.

A day to remember (part 2)
Never have I ever seen Atticus do something like that. Jem and I were standing on the porch when Atticus took the gun and shot old Tim right in the eye. When me and Jem went to bed, I told him we had to tell everybody in school. Not everyone has a one shot dad in Maycomb County I thought. But there he was, trying to act old. I found out one thing my father could do… shoot well.

A day to remember (part 1)
Atticus woke me up and told me to put my robe on quick. I thought to myself, it must be morning already. I wondered whose house it was this time until Atticus opened and door and I saw fire coming out of her dinning room windows. Me and Jem were directed to stand in front of the Radley’s place as we saw a fire truck being pushed by men. Up in the roof, I saw Mr. Avery. Suddenly, the smokes were coming closer to our house. When the fire and town was settled, Atticus caught something by me I did not notice during the scene. A blanket

Atticus was right
Standing on Boo Radley’s porch made me realize Atticus was right. You really never understand a person until you see it from their view. Just standing there made me realize how me and Jem pressured him to come out. He didn’t want to come out.

The guy across the house(2)
It was Dill’s last day in Maycomb. The next day he would be leaving back to Meridian. Jem and Dill were playing by Miss Maudie’s pool. When I went to see them I heard them talking about going down by the Radley’s. I told them not to and said I was too girly to do any real things. That was the first time I wanted to prove them wrong. I followed them up to the Radley’s porch. They were planning to peek through the window in the backyard to get a view of him. As Dill and Jem seeped through the window Jem immediately told us to run. He said he saw a shadow facing him. As we ran out the backyard under the fence, Jem’s shorts got stuck and he took them off to free himself. We heard loud sounds as we ran home and hid.

The guy across the house
Jem, Dill and I were playing with the tire in the front yard. I had to go first. Jem and Dill pushed me with the tire down the hill and I started rolling. I got dizzy but as soon as I fell out, I saw something more terrifying than old Tim. I was standing frozen in front of the Radley’s porch. I panicked and did not know what to do. Jem and Dill came running behind me and dragged me out with the tire back to the house. I wondered why didn’t Boo come out if he heard me on the tire.

Being in the Balcony (2)
Why would he plead guilty? It wasn’t right. The jury pleaded guilty for Tom Robinson. I JUST knew it wasn’t right. Jem and Dill were furious that Tom Robinson would be in prison because of Bob’s statements. Jem really got upset when they talked bad about Tom. Dill started to cry alot. As we got home, I asked Jem why.

Being in the Balcony
Tom Robinson walked out with guards aside him. As Atticus walked out I thought he had seen me, Jem and Dill in the balcony but he walked on. I asked Atticus if we won and he said we will find out soon. Me and Jem were caught up by Dolphus Raymond suggesting to us that some people aren’t who they always appear to be. This made me think of Tom and how they think he raped Mayella.
