There are actually a few words in this book that I wasn't sure what they meant.
- Repertoire
- Nebulous
To be completely honest, Scout really makes me angry. The way she treated the Cunningham boy when he came over for dinner was just plain rude! Again, I'm doing my best to try to remember that this is the 1930's and that people acted differently then, but it's really hard!
Calpurnia seems like nice lady. The more I read, the more I like her.
Miss Caroline is a very different teacher. I didn't understand why she started crying when Cunningham said something to her and left. That part confused me.
It also really surprises me that children and parents didn't care as much about school. School is a big deal in this generation. May be it just wasn't that big of a deal back then.
Hookworms are a skin disease. Wrestler's often get it, believe it or not.
ReplyDeleteI really like that you are feeling emotions toward characters. And you are right, Calpurnia is a great lady! She loves of those kids like they were her own, and Atticus totally respects her and trusts her completely.
As far as Miss Caroline, I would be pretty upset to on my first day of teaching if a student called me those names. Burris is definitely not a nice little boy.
