Miss Maudie applies the theme of appearance versus reality when she explains more in-depth the lives of the Radley's. Scout likes and honors her opinion because she is more honest than Miss Stefanie. She is also considered a friend by the Finch's, and has been around the family for decades. She also has lived through a lot and honors honesty and likes to do good. Miss Maudie and Atticus Finch are similar because they both honor and use honesty, they honor others request's before their own, and they also look at situations in a third person kind of view. They are different though in many ways. Atticus tells only what is needed, even less at times. But, Miss Maudie likes to tell the whole story. 4. I don't understand how Atticus figured out that they were re-living Arthur's life. 5. Good vs Evil-The kids are mischievous in messing with Arthur, but Atticus tells them to stop 6. Simile/Metaphor-They refer to the different ways blacks and whites talk.

1) Kaitlyn Osmulski Period 5 2) & 3)Miss Maudie was a widow who Scout went to to sit on her porch and talk to her about things and ask questions to (page 46). Scout had asked her many questions about the Radley's and if they were still alive (page 47&48). Miss Maudie helps portray the theme of appearance vs. reality because she looks and seems like an old and grumpy widowed women who does not want people to bother her or even talk to her. In reality she is a very kind and nice person. She is very wise and she is willing to help others out and give advice to other people. She also bakes for the Finch's occasionally because she is a very good baker (page 50). She is a wise role model for Scout because she helps her by explaining some things to her about the Radley's and she tells her things about right and wrong and to not judge someone by their appearance. Miss Maudie and Atticus are similar because they are both very kind and wise people who are willing to help others and give other people advice that is true and that will help them later on. They are different because Miss Maudie is a widow and Atticus is an attorney. I think that both Miss Maudie and Atticus are very good people who will help Scout as she gets older. I think Scout will be able to look to them for advice and how to become a nicer and stronger woman. 4) One thing that confused me was why Miss Maudie was so deathly afraid of nut grass? Why was it so bad? (page 50) 5) An example of the theme appearance vs. reality was Miss Maudie because the baptist believed that she spent to much time outside gardening and not enough time reading the bible but in reality she was a good christian and baptist who loved to be in God's outdoors enjoying it. 6) An example of a literary element was when Jem put was going to put the letter on the Radley's window sill because if he reads it, it may lead to something happening later in the book. This is called foreshadowing.

Miss Maudie helps portray the theme of appearance vs. reality because she seems to be a very grumpy woman that has kind of secluded herself from the other people one the neighborhood. Although she appears this way, Miss Maudie is actually a very kind and generous woman. For example, on page 56, Miss Maudie allows the kids to play on her lawn and eat her scuppernongs. Also, Miss Maudie is a good example for Scout because she doesn't judge people, and she finds the best in everyone. Even on page 61, Miss Maudie explains that Arthur "Boo" Radley wasn't a bad kid, and not all of the stories were true. Atticus and Miss Maudie are similar because they believe that you shouldn't judge people just because they're different than you. However, Atticus treats the kids more like adults, but Miss Maudie doesn't really think the kids would understand everything.

Ms. Maudie portrays the theme of appearance vs reality because, she seems like a grumpy old woman, who could be crazy, and is extremely judgmental. And considering where she lives you would automatically assume she is racist too. But, in reality, Miss Maudie is actually very nice. She's kind to the Finch kids and she is not one to judge quickly. She is very similar to Atticus Finch. Neither of them judge quickly, and neither of them think any of the Radley rumors are true. She simply thinks they keep to themselves. She also thinks Arthur was nice, and that he simply stays inside because of his religion. But, she also is different from Atticus, because she judges certain people. She judges the "Foot washing Baptists". Not necessarily in an awful and terrible way, but she does judge them more than Atticus would. She also treats the children differently. She still treats them with respect, like Atticus, but she treats them more like children, unlike Atticus, who treats them more like adults. One thing I found confusing was the Indian pennies they found in the tree. I did not really understand what was so special about them. Appearance vs Reality is in these chapters, because Scout learns how Boo really is. When Miss Maudie says "The Bible in the hand of one man is like a bottle of whiskey in the hand of-oh, of your father" (page 60) it is an example of a metaphor because its comparing how some people can miss use the bible, and whiskey, and end up with bad results.

Miss Maudie portrays the theme of appearance vs. reality by seeming to be aloof and unfriendly, spending more time with her plants than talking to people, but she is actually a nice and friendly person when Scout gets to know her more. Miss Maudie is a wise role model for Scout because she helps her realize that there are more than one type of person in this world and that not all of them are good, like the people who told her she was going to Hell. Also, she helped Scout to realize why Boo Radley might want to stay inside and not come out of his house because he is a Baptist. Miss Maudie and Atticus are similar because they both have good moral compasses and try to pass that on, and they also encourage Scout to try to be understanding of people, polite, and not to bother people. They are different because she seems more gentle and caring about the kids and less likely to admonish them while Atticus will come right off the bat and tell them to stop if they're doing something wrong. P. 65 for an Atticus example. The chapters aren't very confusing. Appearance vs. Reality is used because Scout sees that Boo Radley may actually be different than his appearance. Diction (which is the style, mood, and the attitude of writing) because Harper Lee uses improper grammar and Southern slang, to help the reader feel more like they are in the South.

2,3)Miss Maudie is a good example of appearance vs. reality. In the book it said she was older, so typically you'd think she was mean. Also, in pg. 56 it said how it'd be a battle when she found a weed in her yard. This would make her seem like a mean person, who young people would be afraid of. She is a good role model for Scout because she told her to stop talking about Boo Radley. She thinks it's mean and rude, and said he keeps to himself, and that's fine. She also doesn't come in and gossip. That is a good lesson for Scout to learn from. She also gave them respect, which most adults didn't do. She would sit down and talk to them and hear them out, and also let them come in and play. Atticus and Miss Maudie are very similar. First off, they both give kids respect. They both talk to the kids as they talk to adults, and give them the respect they deserve. Also, they both have the same feelings about the Radley's. The both correct people when they say "Boo," rather how they say "Arthur" or "Mr. Radley". They also leave them alone. They don't walk by afraid, like the rest of the city. They leave them alone and give them privacy, and they mind their own business. They are different because Miss Maudie will sit down and talk with the kids. Where as, Atticus lets them play and reads with them. In addition, they are also different because Miss Maudie talks about Arthur Radley and Atticus doesn't. He will quickly change the subject because he wants them to have privacy and not people gossiping about them, or even mentioning them. 4) I was confused one why Jem, Dill and Scout were so secretive about the game. Why did they think it was bad to tell Atticus. 5) Appearance vs. Reality when Miss Maudie can be seen as mean and cruel because she's old and doesn't like things, but she actually respects people and is a very good role model to younger children, and can be fun. 6) Characterization- is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character.I think this because more and more characters are getting introduced in these chapters. For example, Miss Maudie and Dill.

Miss Maudie helps portray the theme appearance vs reality she seems to look like she is super old, grumpy and the judgemental type of person, but in fact she is the complete opposite of that. She is caring, loving and non judgemental person and that what makes her such a good role model for Scout. She teaches Scout a lot about life and especially a lot about Boo Radley. She teaches her that just because people say things about him doesn’t mean they are true and that no matter what people say about him. She teaches Scout that she should never be quick to judge him or anyone for that matter because you don’t know what they have been through or what their live is like. This is how Atticus and Miss Maudie are the same, because the both teach Scout that she should never judge someone till you know more about them (Boo Radley included). One way that Miss Maudie and Atticus are different is because while Miss Maudie denies all rumors she hear about Boo, Atticus doesn’t deny them he just wants his kids to not only not hear the rumors but he doesn’t want them to do the things Boo did.

Miss Maudie helps portray the theme of appearance vs. reality by appearing mean, old, widowed, judgmental, flower loving, ect. In reality though, Miss Maudie is very nice, sweet, smart, and not judgmental at all. Miss Maudie is a wise role model on Scout because she explains to Scout the the rumors about Boo aren't true and that she shouldn't judge Boo or say those rumors about him. Miss Maudie tells Scout how calling Arthur Boo was very disrespectful because his real name was Arthur. She also told Scout about how Arthur was a very nice and respectful boy when they were younger ( page 61). Anyway, Miss Maudie is a wise role model on Scout by explaining to her who Arthur really was and she shouldn't judge him. Miss Maudie and Atticus are the same because they both are widowed and they both explain to Scout how judging people is bad and you can't really judge someone until you truly know about their life and who they really are. They are different because Miss Maudie treats kids innocently and Atticus treats them with discipline and also Miss Maudie spends a lot of time in her yard gardening and Atticus doesn't. one thing i found confusing was the whole indian head pennies part. An example of appearance vs. reality was when Miss Maudie and Scout were talking about Arthur Radley. An example of a literary element in this would be personification on page 45 it says " as we came to the live oaks at the Radley Place, I raised my finger to point for the hundredth time to the knot-hole where i had found the chewing gum".

Miss Maudie portrays an example of the one of the themes in this story, appearance verses reality. She represent this them because she appears to be a crazy and mean woman but is actually very kind to Scout and lest her come over and watch the sunset when Dill and Jem were being rude and wouldn't let her play with them. She also shows the theme of appearance verses reality when she talks about Arthur other wise known as Boo Radley. This represent the theme of appearance verses reality when she is describing how kind he was to her and saying good things about him verse all the horrible things people think about him. She is a wise role model for Scout. She is a wise role model for scout because she is constantly judging people off of things she hears and I think she might think a little more before she begins to judge people if she continues to listen to Miss Maudie. Miss Maudie and Atticus are similar in the way they react to things. When Scout mentions Boo she tells her she is being rude by calling him that which is something similar to what Atticus would do. They are different in the way they act. Atticus is more of a straight forward man while Miss Maudie is a kind and loving woman.
3. She represent this them because she appears to be a crazy and mean woman but is actually very kind to Scout and lest her come over and watch the sunset when Dill and Jem were being rude and wouldn't let her play with them
4. I found Scout and Miss Maudie's conversation a little confusing because they started talking about Atticus
5. appearance vs reality
6. an example of a literary element in these chapter was foreshadowing when he was talking about how indian head pennies bring good luck

1. Colton Paulson - Period 3 2. Miss Maudie portrays the theme of appearance vs. reality. She appears to be a grumpy widow that is obsessed with her garden. But in reality, she is a caring and loving woman. She is a wise role model for Scout because she gives her good advice about Boo Radley and she treats people the way she wants to be treated. Also, Miss Maudie kind of acts like a mom to Scout. She is the only other woman that Scout can talk to. Miss Maudie and Atticus are alike because they both give Scout, Jem, and Dill good advice. They are different because Miss Maudie treats Scout, Dill, and Jem like real children. Atticus treats them like they are adults. 4. Something that confused me was how the person went from hiding bubble gum to hiding coins. 5. An example of appearance vs reality is when Scout learns that Arthur Radley used to be a really nice person and he might still be. 6. "Do you smell my mimosa? It's like angels' breath this evening," is an example of a simile because it is comparing to unlike things using like or as.

Miss Maudie appears to be old, grumpy, judgmental, and mean. In reality, she is calm, wise, and nice. She seems on her property all the time, but she lets the neighborhood kids run around on it. She bakes cakes for Jem, Scout, and Dill whenever they come over, too (page 57). Miss Maudie is a good role model for Scout because she is kind, patient, loving, and is not judgmental. She tells Scout that Boo Radley is a nice, respectable boy (page 61). Miss Maudie and Atticus are the same because they both respect kids like they are adults, and they both tell Scout to leave Boo Radley alone. They are different because Miss Maudie is a lot older than Atticus is. One thing I found confusing was when Jem was talking about the Indian head thing. I did not understand what he was talking about. I found the theme of appearance vs. reality in these chapters of how Miss Maudie appears to be mean, but she is really super sweet. A literary element I found was on page 51, where Calpurnia says, "You all get in outa that hot sun 'fore you fry alive!" This is a hyperbole, an exaggeration, because the kids won't really be fried alive in the sun.

How does Miss Maudie help portray the theme of appearance vs. reality? How is she a wise role model for Scout? How are Miss Maudie and Atticus similar? How are they different? Miss Maudie portrays appearance vs. reality because she seems like she would not like Scout but she does and she likes the other children as well. She is a wise role model for scout because the advice she gives Scout is very good and wise. What confused me in the chapters was the very end when Atticus told Jem he had broken the first rule of being a lawyer. What is that rule? There was irony when the readers thought that Miss Maudie was going to be a mean lady but she was really a nice woman.

Miss Maudie's appearance vs. reality is that everyone see's her as a mean scary woman but in reality she's a really nice women. She hates her house but she loves everything that God has created and finds everything from nature beautiful. Scout finally finds her as a nice old woman and wants to be as wise as her and i think Scout wants to see everything as a beautiful gift from nature and God. Both of them are really nice and treat people with a lot of respect. The things different about them is that Miss Maudie is old and Atticus is younger and Miss Maudie does not care if anyone plays on her lawn because she hates her house but I don't think Atticus hates his home. 3)in page 56 it says she loves things from nature and finds it a gift from God and she says many wise things to Scout and inspires Scout to be wise. 4)I did not find anything confusing from any of these chapters at all. 5)good vs. evil because in chapter 4 they were talking about how one of the character were talking about there is a spirit that goes around and takes other peoples souls and what this character was saying was evil. and they also said a way to avoid the spirit is by saying a little rhyme and thats good because thats a good was to avoid the spirit.

The old lady named Mrs. Maudie portrays the theme of appearance vs. reality because the way that she appears is very different from the way that she actually is. On the outside or the way that you would see her is a not friendly, grouchy, mean old lady. Throughout the book you may realize that she is not really like that at all. She is really a very nice, wise, smart old lady. She is full of good advice for scout. She is very calm and becomes a good friend to scout, and she entertains scout and takes care of her during the summer when the boys are being mean and leaving her out. She also becomes a very good role model for scout as she spends more time with her during the summer. She is very calm and acts like a lady. She knows a lot about everything and is full of good advice. She helps scout get through the summer. She is the same as Atticus because she is full of good advice and teaches Scout all the time. They are both really good role models for scout. They are different because they teach in different ways and have different values. Atticus doesn’t let them know anything about Boo but Mrs. Maudie does.
3). An example of when she is a good role model is when they are just sitting there on the porch teaching her to be calm sometimes. 4). I didn't really find anything that confusing in this chapter accept for their southern talk. 5). An example of appearance vs reality is Mrs. Maudie because she seems very old and grouchy but she is actually very nice. 6). A hyperbole is when Jem said, "Not a soul in sight" because he is exaggerating how few people there are around.

2. Miss. Maudie helps portray the theme of appearance vs. reality because she seems like a mean, grumpy, widowed, old lady who won’t want to be bothered by anybody, especially little kids. Although, in reality she is such a nice lady, and a wonderful role model for Scout. At first, Scout thinks that Miss. Maudie is super protective of her garden, and will freak out if she would go in it. Although, Miss. Maudie actually doesn’t mind at all if the kids go in her garden. Miss. Maudie and Atticus are so similar in the way they act towards Scout. They both tell her how to act, and how to be a good person. For example, she tells Scout on page 61 how Boo Radley has always been a very nice boy and shouldn’t be judged so harshly. They also both tell Scout not to believe the rumors about Boo. Both Atticus and Miss. Maudie teach life lessons to Scout. However, I think that they teach them a little differently. I think that Miss. Maudie sugarcoats things, as a normal sweet old lady would do, where as Atticus is not afraid to be straight forward with Scout.
4. I found it confusing at the very end of Chapter 4 when Atticus says “You want to be a lawyer, don’t you?” almost as if he would be very mad if he says no. Is there a family plan that Atticus wants him to follow?
5. A theme I saw the most in these chapters is appearance vs. reality. This is because Miss. Maudie seems to be so mean and nasty. Although, she is really such a sweet old lady.
6. Metaphor: “Not a soul in sight.”
