    What I think about people becoming an outsider? Well i think that it's a common thing. I think mostly the same thing you think. A lot of people become scared and they turn out to be completely different people.

    The answers are good. Jasmine, you should expand upon the answers instead of agreeing with tasha. Both of you need to do personal reflections between the book and your life.

    Evaluation:
    I think you two understand the concept of the novel, but I think that you guys should relate to the book more and tell some experiences you have had, like the ones in the book. I also think that you should explain your answers more. I gave you both a one for 'self-reflection'; 'connections to novel, self, and world'; and contribution to learning.

    I think the book is great so far. It's very interesting and has a lot of events that are very possible to happen in real life. Lecrecia, I don't know something that we could talk about for a while. What do you like most about To Kill a Mocking Bird?

    I agree with you. I like the book. It's very realistic when there's a kid telling the story. How do you feel about in chapter 4 or 5 when Atticus made a deal with Scout? If Scout continued to go to school, Atticus would continue to read to Scout.

    Conversation evaluation.
    I think you guys give lots of examples to the book, so I give you a 2.5 in connection to learning; but a 2 in self relating. For the contribution to learning, i give you all a 3.5 because you all told the facts and answered your blog.

    Hello. My name is Sarah M. I'm 15 and a sophomore at Central. I'm really involved with showchoir and I play the piano.

    In this part of the book I sort of feel bad for Scout because Jem is starting to grow up and she's not ready for that yet. And at the same time Aunt Alexandra shows up and is expecting her to act like a lady. Meanwhile she's going through a lot of drama due to the court case with Tom Robinson. What do you think?

    Hi im Eric and I'm in another Mrs. Johnson's english class. I think that Scout is just now developing another character trait from all of this. It seems to me she is developing the idea of that she needs to start or begin growing up or "coming of age." All of these occurances in the book just let u keep building your own image of her and whats going on around her.

    To carry on your conversation, I do believe that Scout is developing into a great character as well. We see her mature throughout the novel, but towards the end she changes. I think a crucial part of her growing up was when Aunt Alexandra started making great impressions upon her such as
    - telling her to joy with their tea group
    - making her change clothes
    and much more!

    FOR MY FINAL POSTING:
    The most important events in the novel, were
    - the trial
    - Aunt Alex coming
    - going to the "black church"
    - seeing Mrs. Dubose pass away

    I believe all these happenings were important, because of the result of these actions. In the trial, the reader learned about the case, and how it affected the community.

    Aunt Alexandra's position in the household make a great impact upon Scout in maturing, and this is depicted throughout the novel.

    Going to the black church was important also. It tied in with the Tom Robinson case, as well as visiting the black community. In this scene, the readers were revealed secrets about Calpurnia.

    Lastly, seeing Mrs. Dubose leave her will behind and make her transition created a great lesson. The kids took away ideals, as well as making her last moments worthwhile. To the kids, seeing her wasn't much, yet it was important for Mrs. Dubose. Dealing with her morhpine addiction was tough, yet she passed away with strength and courage which was evident to the kids shortly after.

    Eric, I agree with your statement that Scout is starting to think she needs to grow up. I especially notice this at the end of chapter 24 when it says "After all, if Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, so could I."

    Focus 8 Extension:
    I think important points in the novel so far are...
    -when Atticus tells Scout to see things from other's perspective.
    -when Jem, Scout, and Dill try to give Boo the note
    -Scout and Francis's fight
    -the gang at the prison
    -the verdict of the court case

    I think out of these events the verdict of Tom Robinson is the most significant turning point. After the verdict most of the tension in the town dies down and the book is ending. I also think it's important because Jem starts to realize a lot about life and how it's not fair and the case really left an impact on.
