Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer’s day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the… shade of the live oaks on the square.

Homework:

Parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework. 

As we are studying the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, we are also learning about Hatred. There is plenty of hate in the novel. There was plenty of hate in the Civil War. Nat Turner was a slave who tried to free slaves.  This is a reading passage from Collections.

THE CONFESSION OF NAT TURNER, 1831

*

In the summer of 1831, Nat Turner led a rebellion of some 70 slaves in Southampton

County, Virginia. After planning the rebellion, Turner and six other slaves killed Turner's owner and then created a slave army. They gathered arms as they marched from plantation to plantation on the way to a nearby town. Nearly 60 white men, women, and children were killed before the slaves were scattered by a group of white people on horses. Turner escaped into hiding. In the aftermath of the rebellion more than 120 slaves were killed by white people. Turner was later captured, tried, and executed by hanging in the fall of 1831.

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.”

HW Mr. Padilla 12-2-15

A.

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.
