Parent/guardians: Please assist your child with today’s homework.
Choose one modified reading and one task below.
Topic: To better understand the novel and the characters, today
we learned briefly about the American Civil War. We talked about how the South lost to the North and how to this
day many still talk about the civil war.
A. Chapter 9, p101
“Atticus, are
we going to win it?”
•“No, honey.”
•“Then why—”
•“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we
started is no reason for us not to try to win,” Atticus said.
•“You sound like Cousin Ike Finch,” I said. Cousin Ike Finch
was Maycomb County’s sole surviving Confederate veteran. He wore
a General Hood type beard of which he was inordinately vain. At
least once a year Atticus, Jem and I called on him, and I would have to kiss
him. It was horrible. Jem and I would listen respectfully to Atticus and Cousin
Ike rehash the war. “Tell you, Atticus,” Cousin Ike would say,
“the Missouri Compromise was what licked us…when Stonewall
Jackson came around by—I beg your pardon, young folks. Ol’ Blue Light
was in heaven then, God rest his saintly brow...”
•“Come here, Scout,” said Atticus. I crawled into his lap
and tucked my head under his chin. He put his arms around me and rocked me
gently. “It’s different this time,” he said.
•“This time we aren’t fighting the Yankees, we’re fighting
our friends. But remember this, no matter how bitter things get, they’re still
our friends and this is still our home.”
•B. Chapter 9, p101
