TKAM: Week 3: Question D

In chapter 15, Lee describes the jail as built in the gothic style.  A dictionary defines gothic as "a style of architecture and literature that emphasizes the grotesque, mysterious, and desolate."  In your opinion, how is To Kill a Mockingbird a gothic novel?

TKAM: Week 3: Question C

In chapter 15, a group of "friends" assembles outside the Finches' house.  Is this group a gang?  What evidence is there to support this idea?

TKAM: Week 3: Question B

What is the difference between Scout's and Dill's home lives?  Do you feel like you "belong" at home?  Do you feel like you belong in/at other places?  What is your role there? (chapter 14)

TKAM: Week 3: Question A

Scout notes in chapter 13 that "somewhere, I had received the impression that Fine Folks were people who did the best they could with the sense they had."  Where do you think she got this definition?  Do you agree with it?  What would your definition of "fine folks" be?
