<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Task: Choose one of the following questions to respond to in a journal form. This is informal writing, and your response should be 6-8 sentences. Please type the question you are responding to above your response.

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">1). <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Mocking a Difference

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Why do people tend to make fun of those who are in some way different? Do you believe the tendency is stronger in children or adults? Suggest ways to combat this tendency.

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**I believe that most of the time, people aren't thinking about what they are doing. Al lot of people will be joking around and make fun of someone, but it will actually hurt the person they're talking about. I also think this is more common in children. Children tend to be less sensitive than adults and hurt each other more. I know there is no way to completely prevent this from happening, but there are some things one can do. If one thinks the other person is not intentionally hurting their feelings, they should tell them that it's bothering them and ask them not to say something like that again. If one thinks the person is doing it on purpose and you've asked them to stop, one should just tell someone who can stop it what is happening and ask them to help. If some of these solutions are used, then people won't be made fun of as often.**

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> Task: Respond to the following question in a journal form. This is informal writing, and your response should be 6-8 sentences. Please type the question above your response.

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> 1). You Take that Back!

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> What type of insult would most provoke you? <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> – An insult about your dress or appearance <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> – An insult about your character or action <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> – An insult about a friend or family member

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> Explain your reasons and suggest ways to deal with insults.

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**I think that, depending on the situation, if someone said something about my dress or appearance, it would provoke me the most. I would be upset if someone mocked my dress or appearance because it does not really matter. Yet, people do it all the time. Everyone is different and have different styles, but some people just fail to see that. I have seen plenty of different appearances and thought cruelly of them, but we are human and sometimes cannot help that. Though we can think ahead and not say it out loud. If you see someone who is not quite like you, just think about what it would be like if you were this person. Would you like to hear that people were making fun of you? And we have all been there, so it should not be very hard to imagine. So next time you see someone different, don't look at their appearance, but instead try to look at their personality. Who knows? You might just find a great friend.**

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> o How would you define a mob? <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**A mob is a large group of people that get together for one cause. Not all mobs have to be violent and a mob can be for a good cause or a bad cause. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, the mob was bad. They were trying to kill Tom Robinson. But there can be some mobs that can be peaceful and be lobbying for a god cause**. <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">o How does mob behavior differ from individual behavior? <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> **In a mob one tends to do things that all of the people around them are doing, even if it goes against their good judgement. If one is alone, there is a much greater chance of their ideas being changed than if there are a lot of people around to keep them on the idea they had.** <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> o How would you handle an angry mob as opposed to an angry individual? <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**With an angry mob, I would probably ask for help or do what they want. With an angry individual, it would be a lot easier to calm them down and stop them fron whatever they are trying to do**.

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> What is your view about shielding children from unpleasant truths?

<span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**In most cases it is important for a child to know the truth. But there are a few reasons the child shouldn't know everything. They may be too young to understand everything and it's better they didn't ask questions. Also, the truth might hurt them. If a child is told something traumatizing when they are young, it could affect them for the rest of their lives.** <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**It is never right to lie to your children, but in some cases it is necessary. The truth might be something that can't be told or something that would hurt the children, so a parent can lie to protect the child.**
 * <span style="color: #0600ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Is it important for a child to know the truth or to keep a child in the dark?

He has had to raise two children without their mother for half of their lives, but he has kept Calpurnia and used her as a mother. He has prepared the children for things to come in the future and he has not spoiled the children, but has given them enough.**

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 <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px; height: 600px; line-height: normal; min-height: 600px; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: visible; padding-bottom: 2em; width: 1191px;">**In Scout's mind, she is just sitting on the porch on a nice, happy, sunny day, and Boo just walks by and says hi. In reality, it is the middle of the night, Jem has been severely injured, she has just been through a terrible experience, and Boo does not just walk by, but more hides in the corner. Scout learned that not all things you imagine become reality and you can't judge, or person, by it's cover.** ||
