<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">Recall a time when you were dared to do something you felt was dangerous. How did you feel about the person/people who made the dare? Did you carry out the dare? Why or why not?

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿When I was about ten, my family and I lived in a house that backed up to a small creek with a stem of bamboo hung across it. One day, my now seventeen year old brother dared me to climb the bamboo. I, of course trying to keep my pride, did. With my hands being quite small, i slipped and fell into the creek and was mad at my brother for days.

<span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">3). You Take that Back!

<span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">What type of insult would most provoke you? <span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif;">– <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">An insult about your dress or appearance <span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif;">– <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">An insult about your character or action <span style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif;">– <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">An insult about a friend or family member

If I was insulted, the most aggravating kind of insult would be about a friend or family member. The reason for that being that my friends and family are the most important people in my life. I have the greatest set of friends and family I could ask for, and they do so much for me that I would defend them in a heartbeat. I'm sure they would do the same for me. Then again, if the insult were part of a string of playful disses, then I would be more understanding. Still, though, the friends I have in my life are perfect and I would defend their pride or, in some of them, their egos without even thinking about it.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">1). Mob Rule

o <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">How would you define a mob? A mob is an organized group of people who get together to revolt against something. In this case, the mob was trying to kill Tom Robinson.

o <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">How does mob behavior differ from individual behavior? A mob acts as a unit, with all of them having the same goal. They go about this by doing something simple and talking about it beforehand. An individual, however, would act on his/her own will, as opposed to as a group.

o <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">How would you handle an angry mob as opposed to an angry individual? To handle a mob, I would use a more assertive approach then when talking to an individual. A mob is usually angry, and one must be the boss to handle a mad group. If talking to an individual, I would try to reason and make a point, not just tell them what to do.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">1). Protecting the Innocent

<span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">What is your view about shielding children from unpleasant truths?


 * <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">Is it important for a child to know the truth or to keep a child in the dark? ﻿I believe that the child should know all that is going on in anything that involves them or they are interested in. If they do not know the truth, then they might make the wrong assumptions. And in a situation that could possibly hurt the child, they should know.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">Is it right for a parent to lie to a child to shield him or her? ﻿No, if parents lie to protect their children, then it contradicts what they have been teaching them their whole lives. If it involves them in any way, they should know all of the truth. If a parent lies to a child, how can that parent teach that lying is bad? <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif;">Activity 7- Building a Case

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">1). Closing the Gaps

Why do people feel prejudice against whole groups of people? n <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">insecurity? n <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">result of bad experiences? n <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">automatic acceptance of old attitudes? How can we overcome prejudice? Some people may feel prejudice because they automatically think that the group is prejudiced. If a group is against something, than some people are going to be against the group. That's just how life is. Also, many experiences could have influenced the thought, also. Such as when one thinks of mob, they think evil.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">Task: Respond to the following questions regarding the conclusion of the novel. This is informal writing, and your response should be 6-8 sentences. Please type the questions above your response.

1). Atticus says that he sometimes feels he has been a total failure as a parent. Drawing examples from the novel, contradict or support his remark. I do not personally believe he has been a failure, because he has always had a way to explain things so Scout could understand it. Also, he allowed some things to happen such as Jem and Scout to see the trial, which, in my opinion, was a smart move. I know I would have liked to see the trial just to see how it worked and I could see, not just hear about, what happened . <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans','sans-serif';">2). Scout is finally able to meet Boo Radley, walk him home, and “stand in his shoes.” How does the actual meeting differ from her expectations? What does she learn from the experience? She expected him to be mean and scary, yet he turned out to be a nice man who saved their lives. from this, she learns the important lesson to respect people. She also learns to not judge a person by what people say.
