Chapter 21
Cal and Aunt Alexandria didn't think the children should return to the trial. However, Atticus said they were allowed to come back. Why do you feel they had different opinions about this?
Chapter 22
Miss Maudie invited Jem, Scout, and Dill into her house for pound cake. However, she only had two small cakes. She gave the small cakes to Scout and Dill and cut Jem a piece from the big cake. Why did she do this?
Chapter 23
On page 227 Scout said,
"I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
What did Scout mean by this? Do you agree with her? Why or why not?
Chapter 24
Tom Robinson tried to escape from the jail. He ended up getting shot and killed. If you were Tom, would you have tried to escape? Do you feel that Tom lost hope in Atticus? Or do you think Tom lost in the judicial system?
Chapter 25
On page 241, Mr. Ewell's comments on Tom's death had reached Maycomb. He said,
"...it made one down and about two more to go."
What did he mean by this comment?

When Scout said that. I think she meant that because Mayella won the trial and she knows a black man would never beat a white person. Folks are people. There are black people and white people. everyone is in favor of the white people. That is what scout meant when shes said "Theres only one kind of Folks"
Chapter 22:
Miss Maudie usually bakes three small cakes for Jem, Scout and Dill. The day after the trial, though, Miss Maudie only had two small cakes and one large cake when she called them over to have a snack. Scout believed Miss Maudie made a mistake, but she had not. She handed Scout and Dill the small cakes, and cut a piece out of the large cake for Jem. She did this to show that Jem is growing up and he has matured, so he can eat out of the large cake now. Jem was too old to be compared to Scout and Dill, so he ate a larger cake than Scout and Dill.
Zach--I feel that Scout is young and hasn't been exposed to racism. She only sees the person, not the color of their skin. This comment she made is a powerful one, and I feel that a lot of adults could benifit from hearing it.
Ally--I agree that Miss Maudie feels that Jem is maturing. I feel that she sees him as a young man and not a boy.
