Responding to toLiterature

Copy lines from the text that are significant to the plot, character development, and/or theme. Use ellipses as needed, quotation marks, and a proper page citation.

Write your response to the quotation. It should be an explanation of the passage in terms of its relevance to the plot, to a character’s development, to the theme, and/or a comment about the author’s style.

Write a LEVEL 2 question based on the quote and your response. LEVEL 2 questions requires an inference are discussion-starters require several sentences to answer

Chapter 3 Quote: Quote: “Atticus said the Ewells had been the disgrace of Macomb for 3 generations… ‘They can go to school…when they show the faintest symptom of wanting an education’” (30). Response: Response: This passage helps show the contrast between the Ewells and the Cunninghams. Both families are poor, but the Cunninghams have dignity and value work and education.

Question(s): How do the Ewells differ from the Cunninghams? How do these two families represent two approaches to the Great Depression?

Quote-- Quote-- “This was a great revelation — not that I was white but that it seemed like June might not want me here because of my skin color. I hadn’t known this was possible — to reject people for being white” (87). Response-- Response-- This is where Lily sees prejudice from the other side. She had never thought about the effects of prejudice like this (so personally) before. Question (Must be Level 2) Question (Must be Level 2) What prejudices does June hold against white people? Why is she so resistant to accepting Lily?

Q— Q— “…in the next instant, I wanted to laugh, because the statue also made me feel like Lily the Smiled-Upon, like there was goodness and beauty in me, too. Like I really had all that fine potential Mrs. Henry said I did…” “…I loved myself and I hated myself. That’s what the black Mary did to me, made me feel my glory and my shame at the same time” (71). R— R— This is Lily’s first thorough, legitimate religious experience. Like other religious experiences, she feels glorified and conviction. Q— Q— How is Lily’s search for spiritual wholeness related to her upbringing? How is the situation at August’s house a spiritual awakening for Lily?

NOTE BENE: Level 2 Questions are NOT Prediction questions “What do you think” questions Yes/no questions Questions that take the reader outside of the work Level 2 questions keep the reader INSIDE the work of literature that is under analysis.
