1.) What is Scout, Jem, and Dill’s fascination with Boo Bradly?
Chapter 2
2.) In chapter 2 Scout goes to the first grade. We learn that her teacher, Miss Caroline grows very frustrated with Scout because she has been educated at home. Why do you think Miss Caroline does not like that Scout was being educated at home and do you think this is a characteristic of a good teacher? Why or Why not?
Chapter 3
3.) Scout tells Atticus she does not feel good and does not want go to school anymore. She suggests that Atticus starts to teach her at home. Describe Scouts attitude towards school and Miss. Caroline. Do you think Miss Caroline has influenced Scout’s attitude towards learning? Why or why not?
Chapter 4
4.) When Scout is walking home from school she sees some tinfoil sticking out of a knothole in one of the Radleys’ oak trees. Scout reaches into the knothole and discovers two pieces of chewing gum. On the last day of school Scout and Jem find two old Indian-head pennies hidden in the same knothole where Scout found the gum. Do you think these items in the knothole will play a part later in the story and how?
Chapter 5
5.) Scout was talking about Author “Boo” Brandly to Miss. Maudie and she said: “The things that happen to people we never really know. What happens in houses behind closed doors, what secrets--.” Assuming the rest of the statement said “stays behind closed doors,” what does that quote mean?

Chapter Two: Scout’s attitude towards school was very upbeat and positive before she actually went to the school. I believe Scout only longed to go to school so much because she felt left out. Scout tried her best to have a polite and cheerful attitude towards Miss Caroline, but I think Miss Caroline feels the need to be strict to be a good teacher, which isn’t the case with first grade children. Miss Caroline definitely influenced Scout’s attitude towards learning because she was so cruel to Scout for just being an advanced student. I believe Scout should have been praised instead of punished. She became afraid and nervous to return. Hope Miss Caroline will realize will change her teaching style.
Chapter one: The children's facination with boo radly is the fact that he never leaves his house, or at least that no one has ever seen him leave his house
I liked both answers you gave!
For chapter 2, I agree Scout had a positive attitude towards school until she got there. I do not think that Miss Caroline should not have punished Scout for being advance. I think Miss Caroline was not use to her students being advance and she did not know how to deal with them.
For chapter 1, I agree their fascination was Boo Radly never left his house and they want to see what he looks like.
Good answers! Keep up the good work!!
