\Miss Maudies\

Summariser_Murshid_32

Chapter 5

Jem and Dill are becoming really close which makes Scout feel left out so she decides to spend time with someone else. In fact she starts to spend time with one of her neighbors, Miss Maudie Atkinson, a widow with a talent for gardening and cake baking and who was a childhood friend of Atticus’s brother, Jack. She tells Scout that Boo Radley is still alive and it is her assumption Boo is the victim of a harsh father, a “foot-washing” Baptist who believed that most people are going to hell. Miss Maudie adds that Boo was always polite and friendly as a child. She says that most of the rumors about him are not true. She says he wasn’t crazy as a child but because of the way he is living he probably is now. Meanwhile, Jem and Dill plan to give a note to Boo inviting him out to get ice cream with them. They try to stick the note in a window of the Radley home with a fishing pole, but Atticus catches them and orders them to “stop tormenting that man” with their notes or the “Boo Radley” game.

Chapter 6

Dill was leaving and they all were going to his house. They saw Mr. Avery, a white man, urinating outside. They wanted to go on a walk and Scout didn’t want to go and they made fun of her feminism. Jem and Dill wanted to peek in Boo Radley’s house. Scout was still against it though. They spied, then went in the backyard and then they saw a shadow of a man. The man came and they all ran away and the man shot at them. Jems pants got stuck and he took them off and he kept on going. The town people saw Mr. Nathan Radley with a shotgun. They thought it was a nigro in his garden. Dill says that Jem lost his pants playing strip poker. Jem wanted to get his pants so he won’t disappoint his father, but Scout won’t let him do it.

Theme discussion Chap 3~6 by Wilson

Chap 5 & 6
Overall View
Chap 5 & 6 is both on Boo Radley as we can see that Jem and his mates are mocking him and making fun out of it so i think the Theme for it will be prejudice
Chap 6
The children decide to try to see Boo Radley one more time. They wait until
nightfall then sneak out behind the Radley house through the collard patch.
Slowly, the threesome make their way to the back porch and Jem, brave as ever,
volunteers to climb the porch to peer in the back window
.
The Theme is Code of Conduct , they again out of curiosity went to see how Boo looks like and mock about it.
Chap 5

The day after her conversation with Maudie, Scout finds Jem and Dill plotting to
send a note to Boo by attaching a piece of paper to a fishing pole. Scout
reluctantly joins the boys but their plan fails as the paper remains attached to
the fish hook and Atticus catches them in the act: "Son.I'm going to tell you
something and tell you one time: stop tormenting that man. That goes for the
other two of you" .Atticus issues his final warning and scold the children for
the "Boo Radley" play they had thought he had forgotten. Atticus firmly believes
all people, including Boo, deserve respect and should be treated decently
regardless of their class, race, or strange behavior
.
This Chapter is also mainly on Code of Conduct as Jem and Dill dis-respect Radley by try to make fun and make a nuisance out of the guy.
Chap 4 & 3
Overall View
Chap 4 is linked to 5 & 6 over the mocking of Boo Radley
Chap 3 is about how the school boycott and mock Burris in school
Chap 4

For several days the threesome play "Boo Radley" in their front yard, acting out
the scene in which Boo stabs his father with a pair of scissors. The neighbors
notice the game and alert Atticus. Atticus takes the scissors away and scolds
the children who lie by saying they are not talking about the Radley's.

The theme again is Code of Conduct they make fun Radley and even act out the incident to make fun of it.
Chap 3

'To get rid of the- er, cooties. You see, Burris, the other children might catch
them, you wouldn't want that, would you?
'
The Theme for this Chapters is Code of Conduct as the people in school gossip and hurt Burris feelings.They are mocking him as a result i think he was rebellion

chapter 5 and 6 quote picker toh shao wei (36)

miss maudie said: 'foot-washers believe anthing that's pleasure is a sin .did you know some of em' came out of the woods one saturday and passed by this place and told me me and my flowers were going to hell?' pg 49 line 22.

foot washers are seem as overwhlemed aggresive believers in batist and think that having pleasure in god's outdoor is a sin. miss maudie said they came out of the wood and scold her it probaly meant that the foot-washers came out of the blue and they would delibrately find sinners in 'god's outdoor' and reprimand them of their sin.

jem said said:' i'm telling' you the last time ,shut your trap or go home-i declare to god you're gettin' more like a girl every day!'

jem think that scout was being to noisy and said 'you're gettin' more like a girl every day!' meaning that he thinks that girls are talkative and naggy.he scolded scout as he thingks that scout is a worrying too much and scared.

scout said: matches were dangerous, but cards were fatal

scout meant that even though playing matches have real life danger such as causing fire outbreak or hurting yourself but cards are more fatal as adddiction cannot be just healed with time like injuries, they are also the major cause of the major mistake you would make in your life.atticus who is her father would not want that as every parent love their child and prevent them from harm especially those that could not be 'healed' which are addictions.
