=MEETING SUMMARIES = By week 1 facilitator Atticus People believe that Boo Radley's name has deeper meaning because all the adults call him Arthur; kids Boo. Lilly found good archetypes such as "Fire vs. Ice" and "Haven vs. Wilderness". Bradley's theme seemed to fit the situation well. Tyler found many vocabulary words that the rest of us picked up on while reading. All group members did their jobs well and participated in the group discussion well. By Atticus Finch

‍‍ **__Chapters 7-12 Meeting 2 Summary __**
Everybody read their chapter and did their job today. We talked about reorganizing how much we read by amount of pages and not by amount of chapters, but we eventually decided not to do that. We decide to think about the saving issues on the wiki and talk about solutions for the next meeting. Only Megan was absent, but we decide to ask her about her part at the next meeting. By "Boo" Radley

‍‍**__Chapters 13-18 Meeting 3 Summary __**
We told each other our job that was due today and explained what we did. We decided that all the jobs on the wiki needs to be posted by Sunday night (4 jobs). Everyone read the sections and is on top of their jobs. We just need to focus mainly on uploading everything on the wiki. We also discussed that our wiki's appearance needs to be improved and eye catching so that it is not so plain and white. Also we discussed how each job could be improved and helped improve them by giving them some more ideas. We decided to type everything out on word then make sure nobody is working on the page so that we can post it without it all being deleted.

We are all caught up on our reading and all of our jobs have been done thoroughly for this section and Blake is adding a discussion page. Today we are working on just catching up by adding some of are passed jobs to the wiki. We agreed to have everything on the wiki by Sunday including author studies. By Jem

**__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Chapter 25-31 Meeting Summary __** <span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Coming back from the weekend, everyone is pretty much caught up on the four previous chapters' assignments. There was some trouble uploading onto the Wiki this weekend for some reason, so most people in the group either hand-wrote or typed their jobs and are uploading them to the Wiki. This week's section has been read, but our jobs just need to finish up, due to the agreement that we would finish the previous four sections by today. Everyone is working at a good pace and knows exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. We spent the group discussion discussing what happened in this final section and each person sharing what they have done for this week's job. We also each told what needs to be done personally, so that we could make sure everyone is on track. <span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Tom Robinson //

They live alone with their dad, Atticus, in a rural town in the south. One day they meet a visiting boy named Dill, with whom they have a lot of fun with and even go near the house of the Radley's, who are feared by the whole town. Soon Dill leaves and Scout is forced to go to her first day of school. She quickly learns that the teacher does not take kindly to her intelligence, believing her father to be teaching her. Scout dreads school until it ends and Dill returns. Dill and Jem begin to grow closer and Scout feels left out of their friendship. Dill, this time, has much more interest in the Radleys, and gets Jem in trouble by going near their house too often.

=<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">‍‍__Chapter 7-12 Summary__ = <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Jem tells Scout that he found his lost Jeans hanging on the fence of the Radley house, all sowed up and repaired. AS Scout and Jem are walking home, they discover another present in the hole in the tree, a soap figurine carved in the likeness of Jem and Scout. They also find chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch. During the first snowfall that Maycomb has seen in years, Jem and Scout build a snowman to look like Mr. Avery from down the street, which Atticus then makes them disguise. One night, Scout and Jem are awakened to go watch the Ms. Maudie's house burn down. During the middle of this event, a mysterious man who is later identified as "Boo" Radley, drapes a blanket over a cold Scout. Uncle Jack also visits for Christmas, and warns Scout not to swear in front of him. Atticus takes the kids up to a place called Finch's Landing where their Aunt Alexandra lives and Francis, Alexandra's grandson is visiting. Francis makes fun of Dill, calling him a runt, and Atticus, saying that he is a "nigger lover". Scout hits Francis and ends up in trouble with her Uncle Jack who only listens to Francis' story. After they return home, it is revealed that Scout and Jem are embarrassed that Atticus doesn't fish and hunt like other fathers in the neighborhood. The sheriff ends up coming to Atticus and asking him to shoot a rabid dog, which Atticus does from a great distance away with one shot. Ms. Maudie reveals that in his youth, Atticus was known as "One-shot Finch". One week, as Jem and Scout travel to the business district, they are forced to withstand the stream of abuse from Ms. Dubose, which they always do because she is old and sick. On this day though, she says that Atticus is worse than the black people he works for. Jem ends up destroying all of her camellia bushes. As punishment, he is forced to read to Ms. Dubose for an hour every day for a month. Jem does so, enduring the abuse and strange fits of Ms. Dubose. Only a month after the punishment ends, Ms. Dubose dies. Atticus tells Jem that she was a morphine addict and the reading was part of her treatment. He also gives Jem a present from Ms. Dubose. It is a white camellia, framed from her garden. Jem begins to grow up and apart from Scout, and when Dill sends a letter saying he won't be coming for the summer because he has a new dad, she is crushed. Calpurnia ends up taking Jem and Scout to a black people church where they learn that Tom Robinson, Atticus' client, was accused by Bob Ewell. Neither Scout nor Jem can understand why anyone would take Mr. Ewell's word. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">By "Boo" Radley =<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">‍‍**__<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Chapters 13-18 Summary __** = <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">There is an unexpected guest that has arrived at Atticus' house. Jem and Scout's Aunt Alexandra has come to try to help take care of them because she thinks that they need "feminine influence" and need to be controlled better. She is going to try to get Scout to act and dress like a young lady. One Sunday when Atticus and Aunt Alexandra were out, Calpurnia took Jem and Scout to her church and Aunt Alexandra didn't approve of it, as well as the idea of Calpurnia inviting Scout over to her house sometime. Aunt Alexandra talks to Atticus about getting rid of her, but he doesn't let it happen because she has been like a mother; even tougher than a mother on his children their whole life. Later that night Scout finds Dill hiding under her bed, and the reason he has run away is because his mother and new father didn't pay attention to him. Dill tells his Aunt where he is and that he is safe so that his family will not worry about him any longer. Later Aunt Alexandra nearly accuses Atticus of bringing disgrace to the family by taking a black man's case in court and defending him. Jem, Scout, and Dill follow Atticus to Maycomb's jail, and as Atticus is trying to get them to leave four cars drove up and a group of men get out. Scout starts talking to Mr. Cunningham and tells him to tell his son "hey". After, Mr. Cunningham says he will do so and tells his men to clear out. The trial begins the next day and people from all over the county flood into the court room. Scout, Jem, and Dill sneak in where Atticus can't see them and they sit up in the balcony where only black people are required to sit. Heck Tate is the first man asked questions, and then it is Bob Ewells turn. When Bob Ewell is called Atticus cross-examines him and shows the jury some important evidence that may prove him guilty. Mayella is next to testify and she is terrified. Atticus concludes after the cross-examination that Mayella has seven unhelpful siblings, a drunken father, and no friends. Atticus tries once again to get her to tell the truth, but she doesn't change her story. The prosecution rests, and Atticus calls only one witness to the stand- Tom Robinson. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">By: Scout Finch **

<span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Its Tom Robinsons turn to testify. Tom tells the jury about how Mayella asked tom to first "fix a door" but as he walked in there was no door broken. She asked him to get a box off a high place, and as he got on the chair, Tom explains that Mayella grabbed him around the waist and tried kissing him. As Mayella did that her dad showed up calling her a whore. As this happened Tom says he fled. After Tom is done Its Mr.Gilmers turn to question him. Then after asking Tom minor questions he asks Tom why he always helps Mayella and Tom shockingly replies that he feels sorry for her. This response makes the whole courtroom dead silent, the reason is that Black people in Maycomb are not supposed to feel bad for a White. Mr.Gilmer Accuses Tom of lying about everything which angers Dill to the point that he cries, so Scout takes him outside. While outside they see Mr. Raymond, who is drinking out of a paper sack. After Dill takes a sip and revels it is just Coca-cola Mr. Raymond explains that he simply pretends to be a drunk so he has an excuse for his lifestyle, he also tells them that he prefers blacks to whites. As Dill and Scout return to the courtroom Atticus is making his closing remarks by explain the flaws of Mayella testimony and asking the jury to not judge Tom as a criminal because he is black. After Atticus is done Calpernia gives him a slip of paper that says that the kids haven’t been home since noon Mr. Underwood tells them the kids are in the colored balcony. Atticus tells the kids to go home but they beg him to let them stay and hear the verdict. Atticus tells to go eat and they can come back after supper. As The kids return they have to wait awhile as the jury is still gone. When the jury comes in Scout notices 12 of them don’t look at Tom; remembering juries don’t look at people they convict guilty. As the jury give the guilty verdict when Atticus leaves And the entire colored balcony stand as respect for him. The next day the Finchs receive tons of food by the black population. Jem lets out his stress to Miss Maudie, complaining about the people of Maycomb. Miss. Maudie explains that it’s actually good that the jury took long and that Atticus was given the case showing that the racially discrimination is declining. Meanwhile, They learn that Bob Ewell Has sworn revenge on their dad scaring everyone but Atticus. After Tom is moved to a further jail, Atticus reveals that a Cunningham was the only man wanting to set tom free. After Aunt Alexandra refuses to let Walter Cunningham over for dinner scout gets mad so Jem takes her out of the room. Jem explains to Scout why people hate people and who hates who and states he believes that he thinks that Boo Radely doesn’t come out cause he doesn’t want to. One day in august as scout is listening to Alexandra’s Missionary circle gossip, Atticus shows up telling Scout, Miss. Maudie, Calpurnia, and Aunt Alexandra that tom was Shot 17 times and killed. <span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">By Jem

<span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">Along with Tom Robinson's friends and family, the whole town is full of emotions and opinions pertaining to his death. Bob Ewell, especially, has his opinions and seems suspicious of trouble to everyone that was involved with the case. Scout and Jem continue school; Scout grows more questionable about her teacher's lessons but does not question it. Jem seems to grow more sensitive towards certain topics, almost feminine-like. Trouble from Bob, as suspected, arises in the town. He is seen following Tom's wife, and Judge Taylor's house was broken into one night. These could possibly be the "two more to go" he was heard talking about. On the way home from a school Halloween event, Jem and Scout are attacked by a drunken Bob Ewell with a knife. Fortunately, the knife fails to stab the children or seriously injure them. This is because Boo Radley comes to their rescue and defends them and possibly stabs Bob, or it is said that he fell on his knife. Either way, Bob Ewell dies. The children are taken home; Jem having minor injuries. Scout spends a few moments with Boo and even connects with him in a brief way. The book ends with Atticus reading to Scout while they are watching over recovering Jem. <span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Tom Robinson // include component="pagelist" homeAtTop="true"
