English 9 Class Notes

Objective: Freshmen analyzed literary concepts in a semi-biographical text.

Freshmen 1 and 3, today you covered chapter 24 of our text, paying special attention to Maycomb’s women’s attitudes. Caleb nicely pointed out the irony of Mrs. Merriweather’s praise of J. Grimes Everett and her scorn for Atticus. We discussed Alexandra’s question to Maudie after the news of Tom’s death, “What else do they want from him?” (meaning Atticus) and its realtionship to the question I asked you to consider as you scoured the text for evidence for your essay: “What is Atticus’s role in the community of Maycomb?”

We’ll listen a bit more next class and begin plotting your essays.

Peace out.
