Journey Into Imagination

Chapter 8 1. How does Hem respond to Atticus's compliment about the snowman? What does this suggest about their relationship? The compliment suggest that Atticus was happy and feels comforted. They are very close together. 2. What does the town's response to the fire at Miss Maudie's house reveal about Maycomb's universe of obligation in this chapter? A community's universe of obligation includes the circle of individuals and groups toward whom obligation are owed, to whom rules apply, and whose injuries call for amends. In other words, a community's universe of obligation consists of those its members believe are worthy of respect and protection. It will be difficult as Maycomb is a very prejudiced area. They simply hate black people just because of their colour. Chapter 9 1.What is Aunt Alexandra's vision for what is "lady-like"? How does Scout respond to that vision?

Lesson Reflection 9 Analyse a chosen picture from the Great Depression of your choice. The picture is trying to say that people were living in poverty during the time of the Great Depression. Children also had to do labour and they all had minimal amount of food to eat.

Lesson Reflection 8 What is the Great Depression? What caused it and how did it affect the Americans and the world? The Great Depression began with the stock market crash of 1929 and was made worse by the 1930s Dust Bowl. It was caused by the government which allowed people to use credit from the bank to buy goods. Thus, when people were not able to repay their debts, to the bank resulting the bank to enter bankruptcy. When this started, share markets plummeted and investor became bankrupt and most of the people there became poor. How does knowing more about the period in history helps you to understand the characters and setting from Chapter 1 to 7? It helps me have a clearer image of how the people back then lived. It tells me that most of the people were poor and lost all their money.

Lesson Reflection 7: Think about a community in which you are a member for instance, your school, religious community, family or group of friends. What are some of the most important rules in that community? Are these rules written down? What are the most important unwritten rules, those not written down but which everyone knows about? The community that I am thinking of is in my family. The most important is that we respect one another, manners are important, no rude or disrespectful actions. All these rules are not written down. The most important rule that is not written down is the rule whereby we have to respect one another. This rule is really important because it disrespecting someone shows your identity to someone. It shows that you were not brought up in a proper way. What pivotal choices that you have made in your life or an experience you have had that was influenced by the settings. What other options might have been available to you if you lived in a different place...

Lesson Reflection 6: Reflect upon Eve Shalen's quotation, "Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself even though the satisfaction does not last." What does this mean to you? Does this happen in your life too? Explain. The quote means that you would change yourself just to be accepted in a certain group or society. This basically means that you would allow someone to change your identity. For example, your personality, characteristics and so on. This has not happened to me before as I would rather join a group which I am comfortable with and not a group which is judgemental about whom I really am.  How might our need to belong affect how we treat those who do not belong to the "in" group? We would follow what majority of the group has to say about someone. Sometimes, we might even hurt someone's without even knowing because you wouldn't notice that you are doing something wrong as everyone around you are...
