Quote Picking
Chapter 4 Pg 44 (Para4)
“I was the probate judge , for a change ; Dill led Jem away and crammed him beneath the steps , poking him with the brush-broom”
What does the word probate tells of the judge ?
Well i feel thats it tell me that the judge had to officially approve something which i could infer that he was a fair judge .
Why does Dill have to cram Jem beneath the steps ? Are they hiding something ?
Dill was poking Jem with the brush-broom , why did he do it ?
On Atticus
Chapter 1,page 4
Atticus is a lawyer.I know this because the quote ‘when my father,Atticus Finch,went to Montgomery to read law’ tells me that Atticus is judging and also the father of scout.
An image example of Atticus:
Why did i choose this picture:
I choose this picture because this man represents a lawyer.He is wearing a coat and busy discussing about judging matters.This man perfectly matches Atticus.He also look like a father.Whereby he would be angry if Scout and Jem were to disturb Arthur.

Chapter 8,page 71,line 10
TOUCHOUS-
What’s the clue(a word) from the sentence?‘Atticus was still touchous about her’Who is her?
think of words that end with ous(verb+ous)
EXAMPLE of word is ZEALOUS
it comes from the word zeal
then touchous is the same
what is zealous in grammar
dictionary will tell you like V – verb,n – noun(etc)
(zealous is an adjective)adjectives – describes feelings/attitude so touchous is a feeling/attitude atticus have towards scout right
(so we need to find out what feeling)that feeling equals to the meaning of touchous
when scout asked if atticus saw Arthur,he was angry because he warned them not to make fun of Boo or disturb him right.Then Jem stopped Scout from asking any more questions right
he said Atticus was still touchous abt us and the Radleys’so we know touchous is a feeling or attitude’can we guess now what feeling/attitude is atticus showing to the kids
Was he pleased with them for asking about Arthur and the Radleys?SO what does touchous mean?
On Boo Radley
Chapter 1,page 12
Boo Radley was said by Miss Stephanie ‘to be stting in the living room cutting some items from the Maycomb Tribune to paste in his scrape book.When Mr Radley entered the room and passed by where Boo drove the scissors into his leg and pull it out.He even wiped them on his pants and continued what he was doing.’This sentence tells me that Boo Radley is a cruel person.He did a wrong thing without any reason which is evil.
An example image of Boo Radley according to Miss Stephanie:
Why did i choose this picture:
I choose this picture as the men is holding a sharp object.This matches with the scissors that Boo Radley had used to cut with.The star in the eyes looks like an evil person.Seeing the shadow on his face shows how mysterious he looks like.I know this because it is stated that he is a like phantom.
