TKAM:
chapter 10,11,
notes
HW: quiz
We started off the day with Lara reading her "blog post" which was more like an essay, but hey, that's Lara. After that, I was picked to do the blog. In class, we began talking about To Kill a Mockingbird. In chapter 11, we meet Mrs. Dubose. She isn't the most pleasant woman. Mrs. Dubose constantly yells racial slurs and mean insults at Scout and Jem as they pass by her house. One day, she gets to Jem. Jem takes the baton he bought for Scout and pillages her flower garden. Atticus finds out and punishes Jem. His punishment is to go over to Mrs. Dubose's house, apologize, and read to her for a month. Sounds like fun. Sarcasm, sarcasm. Two months later, Jem has completed his reading and Mrs. Dubose dies. We learn she was a morphine addict and that she was using Jem as a distraction from her withdrawals. Also, Mrs. Dubose leaves her will to Jem: one of the flowers from her garden.
Well that's the bell, bye!
