Homework: Parents/guardian,
please review and assist your child with today’s homework. Read one of the modified passages and choose
one option task to complete.
Option 3 Base
your answers on the reading. Use evidence from the text.
According to
neighborhood legend, when the younger Radley boy was in his teens he … with
some of the Cunninghams …formed the nearest thing to a gang ever seen in
Maycomb. They did little, but enough…they hung around the barbershop; they rode
the bus to Abbottsville on Sundays and went to the picture show; they attended
dances at the county’s riverside …they experimented with…whiskey. Nobody in
Maycomb had nerve enough to tell Mr. Radley that his boy was in with the wrong
crowd.
One night…
the boys backed around the square .. resisted arrest by Maycomb’s ancient
beadle, Mr. Conner, and locked him in the courthouse outhouse. The town decided
something had to be done; Mr. Conner said he knew who each and every one of
them was…so the boys came before the …judge on charges of disorderly conduct,
disturbing the peace, assault.. and using abusive and profane language… The
judge decided to send the boys to the state industrial school… it was no prison
and it was no disgrace. Mr. Radley thought it was. If the judge released
Arthur, Mr. Radley would see to it that Arthur gave no further trouble. Knowing
that Mr. Radley’s word was his bond, the judge was glad to do so.
