Analysis from chapters 15, 16 and 17


Ch. 15
1. What is the Ku Klux Klan? What do you think of Atticus' comment about it?
It's a group that discriminates and has caused troubles throughout history. I agree of what Atticus says of them, a gang like that wouldn't go to a small town like Maycomb and if for any reason they went they could have done nothing to stop them.
2. How does Jem react when Atticus tells him to go home, and why?
Jem notices Atticus is in troubles and the situiation is getting
 dangerous, and seeing Atticus face he realises he really has to go right now, though he wouldn't go because his father was at danger and he wouldn't let them hurt him.

3. What persuades the lynching-party to give up their attempt on Tom's life?
Scout inocense, I can't say nothing else.
Ch. 16
4. What sort of person is Dolphus Raymond and what is your opinion of him?
I believe he is one character that to prevent being discriminated by his alienation he hides in alcohol, I believe he's very coward by not facing the society and saying "This is what I think!", as Atticus.
5. How does Reverend Sykes help the children see and hear the trial? Is he correct in doing so?
He makes them go through the coloured place and sit in the front row for not to loose anything. He's a good man with no intentions, the kids have to grow, and they need to see what's happening in the town, the country, the whole world with discrimination, they can not live in a bubble, so I agree of the way of doing of reverend Sykes.
Ch. 17
6. Choose three quotes from chapter 17. Explain the context of each, the characters involved, and their relevance for the story, themes and overall message of the novel.
You're left handed Mr. Ewell,' said Judge Taylor." Page 177This is a very important quote, with this Atticus destroys anything that Ewell might say in his defence, he proves him wrong and with that his word for the audience, Atticus and the judge.



"...her arms were bruised, and she showed me her neck. There were definite finger marks on her gullet -"
Mr. Tate's testomony when Atticus asks im for what he saw that day, so that he could prove wrong to Ewells with the left hand trick.
"He had never called a docter to any of his 'n in his life, and if he had it would have cost him five dollars."
Ewells was excusing himself for what he did wrong, so all what Atticus makes him say is part of a brilliant plan, the three quotes makes the evidence clear, Atticus knew what he was doing and he wasn't going to allow the Ewells to get what they wanted.
