To Kill a Mockingbird Vocabulary for Tuesday--"subpoena" to "acquit"
HOMEWORK: Finish page 127 in To Kill a Mockingbird (you're supposed to be that far already)
Memorize vocabulary
"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience" (105)
Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper:
1. What are Atticus and Scout talking about when he says this to her?
2. Write the quote in your own words
3. Give an example of a time when your conscience has disagreed with what other people believe. Are you glad that your conscience pulled you in a different direction?
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do" (112).
1. In your opinion, did Mrs. Dubose do the right thing by weaning herself from morphine before she died? Just because Atticus says she did do the right thing doesn't mean that you have to agree. One of my doctor friends would agree, and the other wouldn't, for example.
Explain why you agree or disagree. Write 1 paragraph (two is ok)
