Father

I think that Atticas is a great father ather that him having to leave in the book it says " Bessides, Cal, this isn't the first time Atticus has left us". So I think that Atticus needs to get a little better at spending time with his family. He needs to play more and tell them more stories. But at least he helps them by teaching them a little with school.(117)

I also think that he should have a little more rules in the house because he said "shoot all the bluejays you want". That is the thing that i think he needs to work on that. He lets them shoot a gun like that when they are that little. But he does make alot of money for the family. (90)

Racism and Stereotyping

Scout says allot of racism things in chapter 1 because of the things she hears. She hears it from allot of things. Like when she hears stories from her teacher or her dad. And even maybe she has heard it from Cal the cook (not a slave).

When dill came over the second time he told them some things that happened where he was living. Some of the stories that he told them were and or had some racism thing and word in them. So those came onto Scout and she had gotten a hold of those words and kept them in her head. And then that is how she thought races words were okay to use.

Change

Boo Radley i think has changed because of what Scout had heared. Mr. Radley was very nice when he was a kid and then he was abused. He was locked up in his basement for 15 years. So that changed him. He stabed his dad.

He changed because he liked to go out. He liked to hang out with other people. But because he was locked up I don't think he was fed allot at all. It is like he went so hungry one night he decided that he was going to be like his father. So he wanted to kill his father and he stabbed him with a pare of scissors and a little later he died. So what i think he was doing is that when his father died he was going to try and leave of go out of the house.

First impression

My impression of Boo Radley is that he is a very bad person. On page 11 paragraph 2 it says that Boo drove a pair of scissors into his fathers leg. that give me the idea that he wanted to kill his dad because his dad locked him in his house for 15 years. In the book it also stated that Boo did alot of other bad think.

Because of the things Boo did I also think that he was raised that way because his parents were the same way. His family rose him like that so that gives me another impression that deep down he is a nice guy. But all the rumors that went around were bad and that makes me think that he is bad and will stay bad. I thiunk he will stay bad because at the end of Chapter 1 it says that his dad died and his older brother took over the house and nothing changed. So that makes me think that he was born and rose bad.

the best thing about english

My favorite thing about English so far is that we can read and then write about it on this. I like to write and type things and make stories. I t is really fun to be in Mrs.Gilmans English class because she makes everything so fun even if we have only had her for a week.
