Chapter 15-16-17
(note: for this questions I work with my classmate Rafael Labra)
1. What is the Ku Klux Klan? What do you think of Atticus' comment about it?
Ku Klux Klan were a organization in the United States, which have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration, historically expressed through terrorism. Atticus comments KKK because Jem ask if gangs still exists. Atticus answer that question saying that the only gang that same time were in Maycomb were the KKK but there are gone, and they will never return.
2. How does Jem react when Atticus tells him to go home, and why?
Jem was very scared, because he thinks that someone wants to hurt Atticus. But then when one of the people says that he have 15 seconds to go, he stay strong and he act like a real adult trying to defend his father. I think that if Scout doesn’t arrive to the place, and if Jem doesn’t stay, probably Atticus had been hurt.
3. What persuades the lynching-party to give up their attempt on Tom's life?
I think that the attitude of Jem persuade to the lynching-party to stop they purpose. When the group realise that the children will stay with Atticus, they think that they can’t continue, so the go away.
Dolphus Raymond was a wealthy white man who lives with his black mistress and mulatto children. Raymond pretends to be a drunk so that the citizens of Maycomb will have an explanation for his behaviour. In reality, he is simply jaded by the hypocrisy of white society and prefers living among blacks.
5. How does Reverend Sykes help the children see and hear the trial? Is he correct in doing so?
I think that Reverend Sykes was right, because we know very well Atticus and he know that this situation will teach to children a lesson about discrimination and how the whites have preferences amount the black people. I know that Reverend Sykes know that the sons of Atticus are more mature for they age and can understand and interpreted perfectly the trial.
