Chapter What does Atticus mean when he says the following about how his children intervened with the lynch mob? So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses... That proves something that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human. Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children. You children last night made Walter Cunningham stand in my shoes for a minute. 2. Dolphus Raymond ( ) a.

What seems to be her perception of Atticus? Why does she think Atticus is mocking her? B. What is Mayella s version of what happened? C. Does Mayella s testimony in any way contradict her father s? Where? D. Why do you think Atticus asks Mayella so many questions about her home life and family? E. Overall, do you think Mayella s testimony is believable? Why or why not?

4 Chapter 19 I. Tom Robinson Takes the Stand A. What do you notice about Tom Robinson when he first takes the stand? Why does he have such a hard time laying his hand on the bible?
