Hamburger Paragraphs:
SCOUT:
The book is told from the point of view from Scout. Scout is a curious and adventurous little girl that likes to ask lots of questions, like any other small child. She tries really hard to please Atticus and Jem and gets upset when she feels she doesn’t. There were a few instances when Jem had an idea/plan that Scout new Atticus wouldn’t approve of but in all cases, she decided to follow Jem. The most involved women in Scout’s life are Calpurnia and Mrs. Maudie, but Scout tends to rely on the male role models (Atticus, Dill and Jem) in her life more. She desires to be just like them and takes offense whenever Jem accuses her of acting like a girl.
JEM:
Jem is prideful and likes to think that he is always right. There are numerous occasions when Atticus will make known that Jem is wrong, but not often says it to his face. Jem has a lot of power over Scout and convince her do be involved in things/plans that she didn’t initially want to be the part of. Jem puts on a show that he fears nothing and even ran up to touch the Radley Place to “prove” he wasn’t scared. The only time in the first eight chapters when Jem showed fear was when he had to retrieve his pants from the Radley Place. It did take a while for Jem to admit it, but he was afraid of the Radley’s and he only admitted that to Scout
Visual Representation: Symbolic
My representation is a picture of a house on fire. This resembles the part in chapter eight when Mrs. Maudie’s house caught on fire. Scout found this event frightening and tragic and expected Mrs. Maudie to feel the same. Scout was shocked when Mrs. Maudie wasn’t upset. She admired that although Mrs. Maudie’s house had burnt down, she was positive about it and was more upset about how much of a hassle it was for the rest of a town.
