Reading Log Week 1

1 hour     To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee      pgs. 170-216         
Details: Scout and Jem sneak out of the house to follow Atticus to his office. They get there and find many men around Atticus. When Atticus finds them, he is surprised and scared.
            "I thought it was a fine surprise, but his(Atticus) face killed my joy. A flash of plain fear was going out of his eyes, but returned when Dill and Jem wriggled into the light."
             Atticus was scared when Scout came into the office. She interfered with Atticus's and the mens' business. The men were cold- natured people, and Atticus didn't want the kids in the middle of it.

Patterns: Repeatedly, Jem tries to have Scout do as he tells her, but Scout always refuses with a threat.
             Scout would say often, "You gotta make me first," or "Who do you think you are?" after Jem would try to make her do something.
             Even though Jem is older than Scout, Scout always hates how Jem tries to "boss her around." She always yells at him, threats him, or even fights him, because she hates feeling belittled.
