8-5 Hannah Molloy- An example of fear is when Jem invited the little Cunningham boy over for dinner. There were 2 reasons why he was fearful. First, he was afraid of being punished for something that he couldn't pay back/ return. Second, right before he was invited, Scout bullied him for making a fool of her. He was afraid she would bully him again if he was to go over her house.
I feel badly for the Cunningham boy. Poor kid - he must live his whole life worrying someone will try to help him out of the goodness of their heart knowing he can't accept any help.
8-6 Ryan Zimmerman-An exampel of fear is when Jem invited the cunningham boy over to have dinner. There were many reasons why this was an exampel of fear.The boy was scaired for being punnished because he has been punished a lot and he was scaired because he could not pay them back the money.
I think you're absolutely right, Ryan. The Cunningham boy lived in fear - can you imagine hoping to get help but knowing you could never accept the help even if it were offered? That would make me afraid to even take another step. Nice contribution to the discussion!
one example of fear was when Jem ran up and touched Mr. Radleys house. They were afraid because they heard so many stories about it and when they were leaving they thought they saw an inside shutter move.
Ryan Zimmerman-i think a sign of fear in the book was when they dared jem to do the most scariest thing that they could dare someone.It was the scairest thing jem thought she had to do. It was when jem had to go touch boo Radley's house.
Hannah Molloy- Right now in the book, I believe that the main fear is of Mr. Nathan Radley (aka. Boo). I believe that Scout was really scared when she rolled right into his lawn on the tire. When she finally woozily stepped out of the tire, she heard someone laughing through the walls of the Radley house......... Creepy!
Don't be confused, Hannah. Nathan Radley is Mr. Radley's other son (he had two; Boo is the other). But, yes, they are afraid to bump into him but I wonder why. I think he's kind of standoff-ish and I think he's the only person who they ever see who actually has seen Boo. That makes him a bit of a mystery!
El'excia- an example of fear in my opinion was when the kids were finding random objects in the tree hole and they didnt know who they belonged to and if they did take them would someone know it was them?
You're right - remember at the end of the school year, they were concerned about returning the items to their rightful owner. Now, they take what they find and hope they don't get caught.
Tyler Horn - I think that a good example of fear is when Mrs. Maudie's house burned down so Jem and Scout wanted to get the things out of there house so that there things wouldn't get burned and ruined.
The book so far is deffiniatly getting a little more interesting! one thing that would definiatly scare me was when Boo put the blanket on Scout, and her brother was telling her in a mean, scary older brother way how Boo probably did it. i was creeped out just reading it, i wonder how she felt!
I'm glad you got that Jem was picking on his sister by recreating how the blanket ever got on Scout in the first place. Harper Lee did a great job building that suspense. And I bet you understood the feeling because you could see yourself teasing someone like that or you have been teased yourself! But, wait, who are you? I don't see a name?
Vineeta - I believe Scout had an underlying fear of Atticus, and that's why she was always wary of what rules he set up and what he had to say about certain matters.
You're right..I think it's a respectful fear. She knows better than to disobey her father yet, as we have learned, he has never laid a hand on either of his children. Just goes to show you violence doesn't breed respect....HEY, WAIT....that might be important as the book goes on.
8-6 Ryan Zimmerman-I think an exampel of theme in this part of thebook was when Mrs.Maudie's house got set on fire and thats fear because its scary if your house burne's down and that the kids wanted to help out Mrs.Maudie by getting things out of her house so they would not be gone from the fire.
You're absolutely right, Ryan. She had to be so frightened and the kids were worried that their house would catch on fire, too. Thankfully it didn't and Miss Maudie turned out to be grateful that her big house was gone so she could build a smaller one with room for a larger garden. Thanks for posting!
Hannah Molloy- There were many examples of fear in this certain section of the book. I believe that the main fear was of the "mad" dog. It was unexpected for a rabid dog to be roaming the streets of Maycomb (fleas and bugs attacked animals in summer), so when Jem spotted the dog and told Calpurnia, the streets were immediately evacuated in fear of being bitten (if you were bit back then, it meant death).
Vineeta - I think another example of fear was of Jem towards Atticus. He admired how he could shoot that dog while still being blind in the left eye, but was also afraid because he never knew his father was known as the best shooter in Maycomb County for sometime and that he held so much power.
They were very scared. Thanks for posting, Molly (I had to delete my last comment - see above - because I'm half-watching my son's game at Medaille and I just called you Medaille).
Ryan Zimmerman 8-6 I think an exampel of fear in the book was when there was the mad dog and attacus had to shoot the dog with a gun. I would be afraid to shoot a dog with a gun I think thats fear in te bok because its not easy to kill animals. That was my exampel of fear in the book this week.
Tyler Horn: I think that a perfect example of fear is when the dog with rabies came down the street and they all panicked so they told Atticus to shoot the dog but he decided to let the dog live
El'excia Allen- an example of fear was when Atticus killed Tim Johnson the rabid dog because he was probably scared that since he hadnt shot a gun in a while and he was probably scared he might miss because it has been so long.
Chris Hibbard - I think that a good example of fear in the past couple of chapters comes from Lula. She was scared when she saw white children, or 'white chillun', in a black church. She definitely didn't know that to do so she sort of lost it and started yelling at Cal telling her that she has no business bringing white kids to a black church.
Ryan Zimmerman 8-6 I think an exampel of fear in the book was when aunt Alexander came and they did not know why she had came so the kids were afraid that she was there that was an exampel of fear.
Michael Reardon- One example of fear is when Jem saw Mr.Ewell go into the jailhouse to kill Tom Robison so Scout sat in front of it and stayed all night to make sure that no one would harm him.
Hannah Molloy- I believe that Atticus felt fear when the group lead by Mr. Cunningham came into the jailhouse to kill Tom Robinson. However, when his kids ran through the door, he put on a strong face.
Ryan Zimmerman 8-6 I think an exampel of fear in the book was when Mr.Cunningham went into the jail to kill Tom Robinson,and the kids ran through the jailhouse door. I would be afraid if i ran through a jail and i saw someone was being killed by someone else that would be so fear full to see that's my exampel of fear.
Vineeta - I think Atticus felt fear during the trial, because there was a low chance he would win, and if anyone of the witnesses said something he didn't expect then it could throw his whole trial off.
Hannah Molloy- I actually believe that Tom Robinson was feeling the most fearful during the trial. Even though I believe that he didn't harm the girl (because of his crippled arm), the odds were still highly stacked against him.
Ryan Zimmerman 8-6 I think an exampel of fear in the book was when tom Robinson was in the trial and he diden't harm the girl and they still were aginst him that was an exampel of fear because he was in the trial but they did dont beleve him that he dident hurt the girl.
Vineeta - After the trial, not only were Jem and Scout afraid of what would happen to Tom Robinson, but so was he and his family since it was most likely now that he would have to be killed for something he didn't do.
Helen Robinson was showed fear of Mr. Ewell. She got a new job working for Link Deas, he felt bad because he didn't know how she was going to take care of the family with Tom dead, and on her way to work Mr. Ewell followed the whole her the whole way there mumbling under his breath. -Chris Hibbard
hannah molloy- one example of fear in the book was tom robinson's fear of death. He felt that he had no other choice than to try to escape because he knew he was dead anyway.
Michael Reardon: One example of fear is when Tom Robinson was running away from death. He was accused of rape. He tried to escape prison and was shot 17 times.The prison guards did this when he was climbing the fence.
Ryan Zimmerman 8-6 one example of fear in the book was when Tom Robinson was put to death because of the trial.Honestly i would be freeking out if i was going to be put to death that's a lot of fear you would have to overcome whell that's my example of fear.
hannah molloy- Another example of fear is when Scout realized something about Boo Radley. She figured out about all of the discrimination that goes on in Maycomb. Scout wondered if the reason Boo stayed in his house all this time was because he was afraid of the discrimination he would get by the residents of Maycomb.
8-5 Hannah Molloy- An example of fear is when Jem invited the little Cunningham boy over for dinner. There were 2 reasons why he was fearful. First, he was afraid of being punished for something that he couldn't pay back/ return. Second, right before he was invited, Scout bullied him for making a fool of her.

DeleteChris Hibbard
ReplyDeleteThere are many expressions of fear in this book. One of the main ones being the kids being scared to go into the Radleys lawn.
They are scared to death, aren't they?! And remember, they have yet to see Boo face-to-face; they're just going on stories they've heard!
DeleteTyler Horn- My idea of fear is when Boo stabed his Dad in the leg.
ReplyDeleteNow, I bet you think Mr. Radley was fearful but do you think Boo might have been for some reason, too? Just making you think....
DeleteVineeta - Jem and Scout were afraid to go near the Radley place because they believed it was haunted.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's all based on old stories!
DeleteElexcia Allen
ReplyDeleteone example of fear was when Jem ran up and touched Mr. Radleys house. They were afraid because they heard so many stories about it and when they were leaving they thought they saw an inside shutter move.
They are definitely spooked by those old stories!
DeleteMary Grace Downey- When Scout was scared to read with her dad because her teacher said not to.
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine how ridiculous that would be?
DeleteTyler horn i think that they were afraid when Nathan Radley fired a shot and then they had to go back to the grown ups and Jem had no pants!
ReplyDeleteThey had to be afraid for many reasons - being shot at, losing the pants, having to tell the truth or build a lie.
DeleteMolly meegan: a sign of fear in the book was when scout was dared by jem to touch boo radleys house
ReplyDeleteThey are so afraid of that man - and remember, they haven't ever seen him in person!
DeleteRyan Zimmerman-i think a sign of fear in the book was when they dared jem to do the most scariest thing that they could dare someone.It was the scairest thing jem thought she had to do. It was when jem had to go touch boo Radley's house.

Exactly - he had to be worried he might miss and I wonder if he was worried that people might think he was not quite the "gentleman" he appears.
DeleteTyler Horn: I think that a perfect example of fear is when the dog with rabies came down the street and they all panicked so they told Atticus to shoot the dog but he decided to let the dog live

ReplyDeleteHe probably did worry he might miss - and he might have worried that others would look down on him and not think of him as a "gentleman" anymore.
DeleteMichael Reardon- An example of fear was when Jem left his pants in the gate because Boo Radley would murder him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he was more afraid of Boo or his daddy who asked (in one of my favorite lines in the book), "Son, where are your pants?"
DeleteThanks for posting - and realizing this is a simple, quick assignment that will help you to learn.
Mary Grace Downey- An example of fear was when they heard the gun shot from the Radley house.

DeleteVineeta - Atticus felt fear when he was guarding the jailhouse because he didn't know what Mr. Cunningham or the others would do to Tom Robinson.
