Cont. movie To Kill A Mockingbird
Answer Response Question CH. 30:
At the end of Chapter 30/movie, Scout answers Atticus' question by saying, "Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" Why is this comparison used at this point, and to whom could it be referring?
Answer Plan
1 Restate the question to begin the answer
2 Explain why(from earlier chapters) mockingbirds should not be shot
3 Conclude by explaining why Scout thinks that it is appropriate to refer to this situation by saying, "Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?"
