  1. Table Discussions Chapters 24-26

  2. Journal • a. Describe two examples of hypocrisy in these chapters. • b. Explain how the roly-poly is symbolic and why Jem won’t let Scout harm it.

  3. Discussion Questions(be prepared to share with class) • Explain the satire that Lee uses in this chapter. • Explain the irony of Mrs. Merriweather’s comments about getting the preacher to help “…her lead a Christian life for this children from here on out.” • Why does Miss Maudie get so angry at Mrs. Merriweather? • What is Lee alluding to when Mrs. Merriweather says, “Mrs. Roosevelt’s lost her mind– just plain lost her mind coming down to Birmingham and trying’ to sit with ‘em…” • What does Mrs. Merriweather mean when she says, “It’s never entered that wool of hers that the only reason I keep her is because this depression’s on…”? • How does Aunt Alexandra’s reaction to Tom’s death mirror Jem’s distress after the trial? • How do Aunt Alexandra, Miss Maudie, and Scout follow Atticus’ example by returning to the missionary circle? Why is this so significant for Scout? • What literary device does Lee use when Scout is describing how she pumped the organ in the chapel at Finch’s landing? What is Scout’s purpose for this description? • Toward the end of the chapter, Scout says, “If Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, then so could I.” How does Scout now define a lady, and how does that fit into the coming of age theme?
