Family Tree

Dear Atticus,


I decided that with all of this confusion Aunt Alexandra is bringing, I wanted to sort out something.  So I've decided to create a family tree.  Now as the secrets unfold, so will the tree.  So check out my in-the-making family tree!  Add more if you'd like; it's your family after all!


Thanks!
Scout

Found Poetry-Chapter 11

Authority Rule

Majority rule in times like these:

dead.

Cantankerous over courage.

De-grown gentleman,

gentlemen like these insulting.

Yet I'm insulted by apoplectically living.

A real essence of a man's conscience:

dead.

Welcome to Finch's Landing!

Warmth

I didn't really mean it.  It's much colder in my house.  But I couldn't.  It's part of the code, part of respect that I am obliged to follow.  While I may feel more like family, the Finch's, to them then any other one of us, there is still a clear line.  I was born with the line slashed into me, like a sword splitting my spine.  Here are the whites.

Here are the blacks.

Make sure to keep your distance.  It's not the feeling of sleeping in their home, it's the looks I would get when I woke up too early and took a walk in the morning.  Those looks from the neighbors. But this isn't my dreamland, nor will it ever be, so I must follow the rules of the game.  I guess I'll have to just dream of that someday.  Hopefully tonight.  Goodnight...  Cal

Allusions from Chapters 7 and 8

Egyptian Wall Art

● "...he went through a breif Egyptian Period that baffled me--he tried to walk flat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other.  He declared Egyptians walked that way,"  (p. 79).

Egyptian wall art was very 2-Dimensional and flat looking.  In Jem's class, they must have looked at Egyptian art.  If they didn't, he would have no ideas or assumptions on how real Egyptians actually walked.

● "'Hasn't snowed in Maycomb since Appomattox,'" (p. 87).

Appomattox is a town in Virginia.  The area is most well know for being the site of Confederate General Rovert E. Lee's "forfeit" to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, hypothetically ending the civil war.  This took place on April 9, 1865.  This makes Maycomb County snow-less for 70 years, more or less.

Rosetta Stone

● "'I'll have the finest yards in Alabama.  Those Bellingraths'll look plain puny when I get started!'" (p. 97).


Walter and Bessie Bellingrath opened up their gardens to the public in 1932.  The garden is known for it's exquisite flowers, especially their springtime azaelas.  I'm inferring that Miss Maudie has used her jealousy to fuel her competitive side to say this, even if it is only a joke.  

● "I did not wonder where Mr. Avery gathered his meteorological statistics: they came straight from the Rosetta Stone," (p. 87).

The Rosetta Stone was one of history's first forms of written communication.  Scout thinks that Mr. Avery gets all of his information from there because there were two instances when Mr. Avery referred to it before Scout came to this conclusion. 

Maycomb County Counter

Hello everyone!  Welcome to Maycomb County Counter, this county's best dive for top notch deserts.  I have collected a special menu today to welcome our visitors--YOU!  I really wanted to highlight the local expertises and distinct flavors of the area. 

Maycomb County Counter

     "Our tacit treat with Miss Maudie was that we could...eat her scuppernongs...," (p. 56).

● Miss Maudie's famous poundcake (3 cents/slice, 15 cents/loaf)

     "'How'd you like some fresh poundcake to take home?'" (p. 61)

● Chocolate Cigarettes (11 cents/box)

     "He (Dill) was constructing a cigarette...," (p. 67).

● Rare Candied-collard (5 cents)

     "He flung open the gate, danced Dill and me through, and shooed us between two rows of swishing collards," (p. 71)

I hoped you enjoyed this selection of masterpieces.  Maycomb County is known for family and tradition, and it should shine through in these deserts.  Thank you for your business and come visit again soon!
