Dunnehoff : Illuminator chptr 6-11

I think one important symbol in this section was the grey twine in the knothole. Jem and Scout found it only a few days after they had ventured into the Radley's backyard and Jem, in a hurry to get out, lost his pants. He went back a couple days later and they were hemmed and on the fence folded and waiting for him. Now, the reason i think that the twine is an important symbol is because i believe the twine is the same twine used to hem Jem's pants. So the person who hemmed the pants and hung them upon the fence is also the person who has been leaving the presents in the tree for the kids. The way the author describes the Radley's back yard and the corner the house is on, I can really picture the whole neighborhood. Also the post Dill stands by to look at the Radley place. I picture it alot like my neighborhood, and the Radley place is the Keith Mantion. But when i picture it, the roads are more curvy and old timey, and alot less blockish. One of the comflicts in this book is Mrs.Dubose is always yelling at Jem and Scout when they pass by her house, but one day she takes it to far and says that Atticus is no better than the niggers he works for. That causes Jem to lose his temper and he takes a baton to her camellia bushes. For that he must read to her for a month. The problem is solved that way, also Mrs.Dubose dies shortly after Jems time reading to her is up. I feel like the tone of this section is mostly mysterious and people being mad. The author portrays the emotion by describing the actions of the characters, for example, scout clenching her fists. The stuff in the tree Scout and Jem find always leaves to question who put it here and why are they putting it there. So the knothole is a mystery. And last i think if Atticus was in our lit. circle he would be very quite for the most part and than when he did talk it would be in a very wise and serious way.
I didnt participate in my lit. circle.. Im sure we would have talked about the things the kids keep finding in the knothole and discussed what we thought they ment. I think the reader is showing through this section that just because people say bad things about a person doesnt mean they are a bad person, or that any of that stuff is true.
And last, from these chapters, i learned that no matter how old you get or where you go people will alwyas be judging you and talking about you, even if they dont know you. In this book the towns people have created stories about Boo Radley, and none of them have even seen him in years. People have a hard time looking pasts the outside of others and the mistakes they once made.
