Heidi Assignment 4

1. The 1st visit is when the pastor comes and tells grandfather that Heidi needs to start school. Grandfather refuses the offer because he wants her to make the trip and also because she thrives with the goats and the birds. The second visit is from Dete telling grandfather that she is taking her to Frankfurt for education. Grandfather does not want Heidi to leave but Dete takes Heidi and leaves with her.

2. If I never went to school I would not know how to anything because reading and writing are essential things in my life. I wouldn't be able to go to college or support myself when I get older. It may look fun in the beginning, but you would find out soon that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

3. The new scenes referred to in chapter 6's title are of the Sesemann residence in Frankfurt. It is very different than the Alm. The house is large and unfamiliar to Heidi. There is a coachmen and a maid and Heidi doesn't know anything about how these people live.

4. Heidi is neither foolish or pert. She just simply is bold and speaks what she thinks. She doesn't know how else to act. She hasn't been discouraged ever for what she says.

5. Fraulein Rottenmeier has basically runs the Sesemann household. She tells people what to do and when to do it. She kind of takes Klara's mother's place since she died many years ago.

6. Fraulein Rottenmeier's three problems with Heidi are that she is only eight and Klara is twelve and she needs to catch up with Klara's education, another problem is that Heidi isn't her baptist name, and also that Heidi cannot read or write.

TKAM Assignment 4

1. On Dill's last night, they go and try to see Boo Radley, but Jem loses his pants.

2. Dill answers Scout's question by telling her that n0body could see them at night, and Atticus would be deep into his book.

3. Jem's relationship with Scout is changing, as he is now somewhat independent and irritable, and spends less time with her. I think their relationship is changing because Jem is more mature now, and trying to be a man.

4. Going around in someone else's skin means that Scout tried to see things through Jem's point of view, and experience what he is experiencing. She means she tried to understand what Jem was going through.

5. When Jem goes back to find his pants, he finds them sewn back up and folded. This could be foreshadowing that the person leaving things in the tree is not a bad person, and knows the kids are taking the stuff in the tree.

6. Scout is extremely unhappy at the second grade, thinking it's harder than the first. Jem reassures her by telling her that it'll get easier afterwards.

7. In the tree, they find a little grey ball of twine and some figures carved into soap.

8. Mr. Radley is the one who plugs the hole in the tree with cement. I do not think that Mr. Radley is being honest when he gives his reason for plugging the tree, because it seems perfectly healthy to Atticus.

9. I think Boo Radley is putting the things in the tree.

Christian, Jacob.

Heidi 4

Heidi 4-
1.) The first visit was from the pastor. The pastor tryed to make the grandfather see his way but the grandfather had other thoughts. The pastor made the grandfather very mad. The second visit was from Dete. She thinks that the Alm-Uncle shouldn't be caring for Heidi and so she found somebody to take care of the child. Dete takes the child away from the grandfather and grandmother and she didn't want to.
2.)My life would be different because I wouldn't know anything. My knowledge would be very small and I would have a hard time talking to people and I would have a very bad job. I would be looked down apon.
3.) The new scenes would refer to Heidi going to school, having new clothes, reading, learning her a b c's and enjoying having a person to play with.
4.) More than likly be a pert becasuse she isn't foolish at all!
5.)Fraulien Rottemeirer would be like a mother in some ways. I think that she really cares about what happenes to Klara and how her upbringing is.
6.) 1-she brings animals into the house
2-she slammes the door and the books and paper fall down
3-she hides rolls in her closet and gets in trouble

2.If i didnt go to school i would be not dumb but unable to understand the things thatmean the most to others. like i like to read and i would not be able to if i had no schooling.

TKAM post #3

The word auspicious means affording a favorable. Benevolence is an act of kindness. Incomprehensible is impossible to understand. Melancholy is an abnormal state attributed to an access of black bile and characterized by depression. The children see shadows in the windows of the Radley house and that is what creeps them out. Scout doesn't like school because her teacher, Miss Caroline, told her that her and Atticus didn't need to read anymore because he was teaching her wrong. She decided to give it another chance because Atticus told her if she did, they would go on reading at night. They don't know who or why they are putting things in the tree, but they think it is a school childs hiding place. Scout is the narrator of chapter 4. it was someones treasure and Scout ate it. Scout doesn't communicate with Atticus well because he is always busy with work. I think Mrs. Dubois is the school principal. The boys don't want Scout to play with them because she will tell Atticus about the things they are doing. Miss Maudie is racist because she is always saying how Atticus shouldn't defend black people in court. Being racist is racism or discrimination. Scout beats up Dill because she has a crush on him and the biggest problem in this chapter is they don't know who is putting all the treasures in the tree. Boo Radley gets his nickname because he commits a felony and everyone is afraid of him. Jem and Scout's uncle asks Miss Maudie to marry him every Christmas. She says no because she has already been married and doesn't want to get married again.
Kenna, John, Dalton

3. Scout doesn't like the teacher, but Calpurnia tells here to go try it again.

4. Maybe someone is leaving things in the tree for the children.

5. The narrator of Chapter 4 is Scout, the girl.

To kill A Mockingbird assignment two!!!!!

1.Why is everyone so poor in Maycomb County?
We think that the crops did not do good that year.

2.Why does Boo Radley still live with his parents?
He still lives with his parents because Mr. Radley didn’t want Boo to go to industrial school.

3. Why does Scout speak out so much in class?
We think that Scout was tought like this from Atticus and Culpurnia

4.Why does Miss Caroline not want Calpurnia to teach Scout to read?
They are teaching the students a new way of learning.

5.Why is Miss Caroline so demanding?
We think it is because she is from the city, where people are not as polite and they learn more stuff in the city.

6.Who would you rather have as a teacher - Miss Caroline or Mr. Neuburger?
Miss Caroline because she seems funny because she was scared of a little cootie.

7.Why doesn't Atticus have more discipline for his children?

To detect with the eyes. It means it is visible to your eyes.

10.Is Maycomb, Alabama a real place?
no because we looked it up on the internet and it said it was not a place.

Everyone is so poor because there was a depression. Maybe Boo Radly just loves his parents but doesnt know how to tell them.

Scout speaks out in class probably because he is trying to make the teacher mad.

Miss Caroline does not want Calpurnia to teach Scout because it might damage something and because she doesn't want her to go to 2nd grade.

Miss Caroline is so demanding because she is bringing a new teaching method to the school.

Mr. Neuberger because Miss Caroline sounds very mean and rude. SHe desn't seem to ahve any affection for kids.

Atticus might not have as much discipline for his kids because he is always very busy with his work and he has Calpurnia for that.

The Ewell's dad spends all of their money on whiskey and the kids are always hungry. The kids go to school the first day and they don't come the rest of the year because their help is needed at home.

Discernible means to detect with senses other than vision.
