Chapters 30 and 31 (end of the book!)

 Everyone is made to leave Jem's room and they all go to the front porch. Scout leads Boo outside, thinking how much this resembled her fantasies of meeting him. On the porch, Atticus and the sheriff have a long and slightly aggressive discuss about whether or not Jem killed Bob with the knife. Atticus believes he did and doesn't want this to hang over his head for the rest of his life and the sheriff believes that Bob fell on the knife and killed himself. After the sheriff made his final argument, told Atticus it was his discussion to take it to court, said goodnight, and drove away. Scout tried to comfort her father, and then Atticus thanked Boo.
Boo uncomfortable rose from his seat and coughed so violently that he had to sit back down. Scout told him he wanted to say good night to Jem he could. She led him upstairs and into Jem's room. She told him he could pet his head, so he did gently. After they left the room, Boo asked in a whisper if Scout could walk him home, so she did, but after he closed the door, she never saw him again. She stood on his porch and remembered everything that happened on that street over the course of three years. She walked home to find Atticus still in Jem's room with him reading. Scout asks to sits like him and asked for Atticus to read. Shortly after Atticus starts reading she falls asleep. Finally he puts her to bed while she babbles about what she "heard". She know Atticus would stay with Jem until morning, when he would wake up.

Chapters 28 and 29

As Jem and Scout walked to the high school for the pageant, it was pitch black and Cecil Jacob jumped out and frighten the two of them. Before the performance, Cecil and Scout wondered around, playing games, until Ms Meriweather called them to the stage. Everything went fine but Scout fell asleep to her lecture to the audience and was late for her entrance. She was mad and claimed Scout ruined the performance, Jem told her that it was fine and added some humor to it.
After the pageant, the two were walked back home through the school year when Scout realizes she forgot her shoes, Jem said they could go get them tomorrow. Then they heard a noise following them in the dark. Shortly the two were jumped by a man who fight and pulled Jem to the ground, breaking his arm and knocking him unconscious.  Then the man grabbed Scout, trying to crush her to death. Another mysterious figure comes to aid of the two children. After the fight was over, the figure carried Jem home and Scout ran barefoot to the house. The doctor and sheriff was called. Jem was examined and after the doctor left, the sheriff explained to Atticus that Bob Ewell was the one who attacked his kids, and that he had been killed in the fight with a kitchen knife to the chest. Scout explained everything she could remember and realized who saved both her and Jem.... reclusive Boo Radley had saved their lives and was standing in the room with them all.

Falling Action

Theme: Duty to ones neighbors, Boo risks his own life to save Scout and Jem

Chapters 26 and 27

Fall is coming and its time for Scout and Jem to go back to school. Being in different grades, Scout now has to walk home everyday by herself, and still wonders (not as much as before) about the old Radley place. When she asked Atticus about it again, he quickly dismissed the thought and told her to leave there alone, she didn't mention it anymore. At school, the children were learning about current events in the news, and the topic of Hilter and Jews came up. Her teacher became very aggravative talking about the subject, and one child asked if they're WHITE. When Scout tried to talk to Jem about it, comparing it to Tom's case, he leaped up and threatened her. She went to Atticus who told her not to worry about her brother, everything was fine.
Even after they won the trail, Bob Ewell still has a grudge against everyone there. He started to threaten and torment Tom's wife, Helen, until her new employer (Tom's old one) told Bob to stay away or he will call the cops, then Bob started pestering Judge Taylor. Aside from the Ewell drama going on, Halloween was coming and Scouts teacher is making her be in the pageant they are putting on (she has to be a ham). Reluctantly, Jem is forced to take her that night to the high school where it is being put on.

Allusion: the oppression of the Jews is similar to the oppression of Black people in the south. only difference between the situation is the degree of cruelty and skin color.

Chapter 25

As Scout tried to kill a bug, Jem wouldn't let her because it didn't do anything to her, she obliged to the request figuring it was just another one of his phases. Then she thought of Dill, and the story he told her of what happen when Atticus and Calpurnia went and told Helen Robinson of her husband death. Tom's death was the talk of the town for two days, even Mr Underwood wrote in his paper about it. As the gossip slowed, Jem over heard a rumor from Miss Stephanie about Mr Ewell saying "one down and about two more to go", referring to one of the two as Atticus. Jem told Scout but threatened if she told their father, he would never speak to her again.

Jem and Scout

Symbol: Scout wanting to randomly kill an innocent bug, is like the men wanting to kill innocent Tom Robinson. Also when Mr. Underwood writes the poetic entry about Tom's death and comparing it to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children (the mockingbird)

Chapters 23 and 24

The children were very concerned about Atticus about the threats he received from Robert Ewell, they suggested he carry a gun or some form of protection, but Atticus refused the notion. Robert was "just venting" and if he choice to beat up him over hitting Mayella, then that was fine by Atticus. Jem is still confused about the trial and why it ended the way it did, Tom was supposed to by freed, his father was so close to winning. Atticus tried to comfort him by saying that nothing was going to be done with Tom until later in the year, after to goes to the state court. Also that one person didn't find him guilty, a Cunningham. Scout finally started to understand something about Boo Radley, that he WANTS to stay inside, away from the prejudice and everything.
In now September, and Dill leaves tomorrow, so Jem decided it was time for him to learn how to swim. But since they would be swimming naked, Scout had to stay home. She instead spent time and the Missionary Society meeting with numerous other women around the neighborhood. At the get-to-together, Atticus comes home early, requesting Calpurnia in the kitchen. Tom was dead. He "tried to escape" to prison and after being shouted out to stop, the guards shot him seventeen times. Atticus wanted Calpurnia to go with him to tell Helen (Tom's wife) of the news. Aunt Alexandra, Miss Maudie, and Scout all hear everything and after a brief moment of silence and recovery, they returned to the party as if nothing had happened, no terrible news was told.

Chapters 21 and 22

Calpurnia came to the court house looking for Mr. Finch, she took him the children were;t home yet and Alexandria was getting very worried. Atticus walked to the balcony where Scout, Jem and Dill were and demanded they go home, if not for the rest of the trial, just to eat supper then they could return. Alexandria wasn't happy about this when the children got home and told her their plans of returning (most people didn't like the Scout, a young girl, was at the trial to begin with). When the group returned, nothing have changed much, the jury was still in session and the judge, lawyers, and defendant were out of the room as well. When everyone returned and the court was back in order, the jury gave their verdict. Tom Robinson was appointed guilty. Atticus left right after and didn't look back, Jem took this trial harder than even Atticus did. The next morning the family came to breakfast and saw a mountain of food on the table, all gifts and thanks from the colored members of the community. This made Atticus tear up and he explained he never wanted this to happen again (receiving these gifts in a difficult time). The children went outside and talked with Miss Maudie about everything that had happened yesterday, and as they walked away, Miss Stephanie was over enthusiastic to tell Scout and Jem the news of Robert Ewells spitting in their father's face and saying he would get him if its the last thing he does.

Chapters 17 and 18

Folks from all over Maycomb and neighboring town came to see the trial, women were all dressed up and men in a similar attire. When the trial started, white people entered first with the colored following after, but since Jem and Scout and Dill weren't supposed to be there, they walked in with the colored. The first to testify was the sheriff, the Robert Ewells, and then Mayella Ewells. All of their stories seems to contain a lot of umms, and hesitations, and Atticus know how to exploit their undecided stories.

Atticus is nearly fifty, and Jem has found a new interesting in football. As Atticus is much older than most of the other children's fathers in Maycomb, Jem and Scout wonder what their father can do anymore thanks to his age. Scout talks to Miss Maudie and Calpurnia about what Atticus can still do, but it wasn't until that afternoon both Jem and Scout learn something new about their father. While walking down the street to go play with his air rifle, Jem spots Tin Robinson, the "mad dog", roaring down the street and steadily coming closer. They ran home and told Calpurnia, who upon examining the dog at the same place Jem did, warning the entire neighborhood and called Atticus who arrived with the sheriff. When the "mad dog" was finally in range, the sheriff handed Atticus the gun and saying only he could make the shot. Within seconds, Atticus (who claimed he didn't know how to shoot) had the gun on his shoulder, aimed, and killed the dog. After the incident, Scout was ready for school tomorrow to tell the kids about her father's skill, but Jem told her not to speak it, that if he wanted them to know, he would have told them, that if he was proud of it, he would have told them.

Chapter 7:
Jem has been moody and silently since the pants incident, and Scout is having about as much fun in second grade as she did first (which was very little). As the two were now on the same schedule, they walked home together that day, to find a new thing in the tree knot. Two soap cravings of people, that looked identical to themselves. The craving lead them to believe Mr. Avery, the only man they know that whittles, must be putting thing in the tree. But the after numerous more visits to the tree, Nathan Radley plugged up the tree with cement, claiming thats what you do to "dying trees". Atticus when asked later that day, told Jem and Scout that the tree wasn't dying. Jem took the news hard, and when he returned to the house, his face showed he had been crying.

After breakfast, they asked Atticus if he knew how to build to snowman, but he said no and that there was barely enough snow to make a snowball. But that didn't stop the children, for they borrowed snow from Miss Maudie and used mud from around their house to create a snowman that resembled another one of their neighbors. His father praised Jem for the good job, which made Jem redden. That night was freezing, but by 1am Atticus had woken the two up and hurried to get them out of the house. A fire had started next door at Miss Maudie's house, so all the men and firemen worked together to put it out and prevent the other surrounding houses from catching fire as well. By the end of the night and early dawn, the fire was out, and the men all returned home. Half frozen and tired, Jem and Scout didn't have to go to school that day, but Atticus noticed a new blanket wrapped around Scouts shoulders. When asked about it, Scout and Jem both didn't know where the blanket had come from, but their father had, Boo Radley had wrapped it around the freezing girl while she wasn't looking.

Chapter 5:
Jem and Dill start excluding Scout more and more, so she seeks the company of her neighbor, Miss Maudie. As the two's friendship grows, Scout feels more comfortable around her, and brings up the topic of Arthur "Boo" Radley. Miss Maudie claimed she only knows as much as she does, and that the stories were "three fourths colored folks and one fourth Miss Stephanie Crawford''.  The nexted morning Dill and Jem decide they want to make Boo come out, so they come up with a plan. Using a fishing pole, they stuck a note to the end of it, and Jem along with Scout and Dill as lookouts, repeated tried to stick the note in the Radley's broken shutters. Before he could complete his task, Atticus found them, demanded an explanation of what in they were doing, and told Jem, as well as the other two, to leave that man alone.
Chapter 6:
Its the day before Dill has to leave Maycomb, but before he left, he and Jem decided they wanted to got one look at Boo. Scout was very reluctant of this idea, but after Jem told her to stop acting like a girl, she had no choice but to go along. They sneak around in back yards until they reached the house, where Dill had Scout and Jem lift him to see over the window sill. After only seeing the faintest glimpse of light, a shadow appeared, crossed over the children, and disappeared again. They ran to hide from the mysterious figure, only to hear a gunshot from the direction of the house. They sprinted away, climbing under a fence where Jem got stuck and had to remove his pants to free himself. When they returned to the Finch house they rejoined the neighborhood outside the Radley house where Boo's brother stood with a gun, and heard him say if he hears another noise in his collard garden again, he wouldn't miss. Suddenly after asking what was going on to Miss Maudie, everyone noticed Jem wasn't wearing pants and the three were sent home to get them. That night Scout was anxious and terrified by very little noise. Jem told her he was going to go get the pants he lost and if she told, he would kill her. So after a small argument and some pleading, Scout helped and waiting for his return, nervous he wouldn't come back. But minutes later he did, with his pants in his hand, he laid on the cot, and fell asleep.

To Kill a Mockingbird

In this chapter, the school year has steadily and boringly passed by for Scout and now summer is approaching. On one of her famous runs homes, she saw tin foil poking out of the trees by the Radley place, she took the tin foil, discovering it was gum, and continued running home. When her brother Jem returned home as well he saw her chewing the gum and told her to spit it out immediately. The last day of school they found two coins in the tree, Jem said they needed to find the own, and would do so by the start of next school year. Dill arrived back in the Finches lives the following day, and they started a new game (thanks to Jem trying to prove he wasn't afraid of anything) about the Radleys. The game was supposed to be a secret, until their father arrived home without them seeing him. He scrawled at Jem to not be cutting up today's paper and put the scissors back. This made Scout very uneasy, even more so than she already was, but she kept playing with her brother and Dill, regardless of her anxiety.

Rough Second Draft (advise please and help with MAL citation)

Most of us as children imagined adventures beyond wildest dreams (and modern science), but what if you could actually live one of those fantastic dreams; only down fall is that you could never return from the excursion. Mars One mission, expected to take action in 2024, has narrowed down 200,000 applicants, to 100 candidates and will continue narrowed down to 24 people. Out of the thousands of people wanting to go one this one way trip, each had their own reasons and purposes for volunteering for this mission: the spirit of adventure, doing something great with their life, having their names written in history books, and benefiting man-kind.

The spirit of adventure and curiosity go hand in hand. This mission is designed to broaden our understanding on our solar system. Bas Lansdorp and Arno Wielders, both with a master in science and co-founders of the Mars One mission, announced the planned in 2012.

One British applicant has claimed that although concerned family members don’t want her to go on the one way, seven month journey in the unknown space, she believes that the mission will, “Inspire a new generation and that she has a responsibility to those who come after her.” Sounds noble right? Doing something that will be your possible death for the benefit of newer generations, but some applicants’ reasons aren’t so . Not wanting to live an ordinary life; instead of going to work, coming home, and having the “American Dream” some would rather go and be legends, with their names in history book, like Neil Armstrong and his team of fellow astronauts. Instead of being the first on the moon, these new breed of astronauts will be the first on Mars.

Similar to how greatly the man on the moon mission educated the world, the Mars One is hoped to have similar effects. Benefits of the exploration would increase the development of modern technology. Much of the raw materials humans need to survive are already present on “The Red Planet”, just some necessary technology needed to complete this mission will to be sent along with the astronauts to the colony to increase its success. The choice of creating a permanent settlement on Mars eliminates some of the need for some devise, such as a heavy lift launch vehicle. Solar panels will be the main source of energy in the settlement, 3,000 square meters of panels will be installed on the planet to save both time and money. The panels risk of sending a nuclear reactor to the colony.

200,000 applied, 100 were selected, and now the to the final 24 that will actually see the mission through, each with their own motivation: adventure, greatness, and benefiting man-kind. Is it all going to be worth it though? This mission is still in preparation level so non of the specifics are known by the public.

Sonnets

So what are the four elements of a sonnet?

1.) fourteen lines

2.) Iambic Pentameter - ten syllables per line, stressed and unstress 

3.) rhyme scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

4.) three quatrains and one couplet

Let's see how they work:

18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments, love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come,
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom:
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral is far more red, than her lips red,
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun:
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head:
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight,
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet by heaven I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

Now - what are some traditional sonnet themes?

1.) Love 

2.) Death and aging 

3.) Immortality through poetry 

Let's look Romeo and Juliet's first dialogue together and see how that fits both the sonnet form and traditional sonnet theme.

Finally we'll look at the prologue and see what it does.
In the prologue, we learn where the play is meant to take place, the feuding between two families, and a pair of star-crossed lovers (one from end of the fighting families) who kill themselves to be together.
