Jacob's Gordon's Characterization Essay

A dynamic character is someone who changes by the end of the story, learning something that changes him or her in a permanent way. Jem is a character that changes very signifigantly by the end of To Kill A Mocking Bird. He started off as an somewhat immature little kid like his little sister Jean Louise aka scout. But as he grows older into adolesence he changes very significantly. He matures into a very smart young man.  When he is older he stops playing Jean Louise and starts doing more of his own thing. He starts siting on the chair in their living room and starts reading the news paper, and when Jean Louise ( otherwise known as Scout) tries to bother him he very politley asks for her to stop and continues to read the his paper. He also develops an a huge interest in football and basketball just like almost every other young man does.  He learns to respect others no matter what their skin color is. He feels very upset when the verdict for Tom Robinson's verdict is guilty. "It aint right, it just aint right." The way he feels just proves that he grew as a person. He, I say, deserves some major credit for what he has done to try and help out people that was different from him.

Illuminator 17-21

Hello everybody. This is Jacob. I'm here to answer some questions for my role which was the illuminator. What my job was to select three literary devices to define, present the exact quote from the book and explain to the group why the author used them. Okay, here are the questions I have to answer. Question 1, describe an important symbol from this section of the book and what it stands for. The courthouse was very symbolic but quite frankly I couldn't think of what it could stand for. Question 2, describe how the author creates a setting that I can clearly picture in my mind. Well, she has very detalied descriptions of the court house as the trial is progressing. Question 3, describe a conflict from this section of the book. The conflict I will be describing for you today is the conflict between Atticus and Mayella. They had a conflict because Atticus kept calling Mayella mamm and miss. Mayella seemed to be very offended by that so she started yelling and throwing a tantrum over it. Question 4, how does the author create emotion in this section? The author creates emotion based off of the constant fueds between Mayella and Atticus. The overall emotion of this section of the story was angry and upset. Finally, were at question 5. If one of the characters was your litereature circle, describe how he or she would act based on his or her actions in the section. I think that if Mayella was in my literature circle she would act all angry and sad because thats how she act in this section of the story.

Director chapters 9-11

Hello, This is Jacob, and I am here to answer the questions associated with my role. That role happened to be the director. My job was to be in charge of facillitating my groups disscussion. I had to make sure to keep my group on task, ensure that everybody in my group present their questions on the and participate in the disscusion. Here are my qustions. Question one was what did I find myself thinking about during my reading process. I found myself thinking how the story was going to progress, it made me really curious. My next question was to choose two sections frome the story. I chose when their Aunt came to live with them and the part where Dill came to them. I chose the part when the aunt came because she seemed really bossy and mean. I chose the part when Dill came to them beacuse his new step father was a mean and abusive person. My next question was to name an important event. The event I chose was when Dill came to him. I chose it for the same reason as  the question before. My final question was, what would I ask the author if she was in my literature circle. I would ask why she made a good kid like Dill, almost starved, and miserable. I understand that every child in the world is not always treated like they are supposed to be treated.

Summarizer 6-11

Hello all. Dis is Jacob,and Jacob is going to give you the ol update on the ol story, To Kill A Mocking Bird. First of all, The Jacob is going to tell you what role The Jacob had for this story. The Jacob was the summarizer. That means The Jacob has to prepare asummary of the book chapter that are going to be discussed in the next literature circle. The Jacob is to complete a written paragraph that describes the important characters, and events that take place in the ol story. Now this chapter's main point in The Jacob's opinion was when their was a fire at one of the Finch's neighbors house. Atticus found out about the fire. After he did he woke up Jem, and Scout, worrying that the fire might spread to their house. He had them get their robes and coats on and stand in front of the Radley house, while Atticus helped try and put the fire. After the fire was out Atticus went to check up on Jem and Scout. Everthing was perfectly fine, except fo the fact that Scout was wraped in a blanket that none of them have seen before. Atticus thought that maybe that his children wandered off and might of possibly stole the blanket. It turns out this happened. Scout was freezing cold, and when she wasn't looking the neighbor that they really feared, Arthur "Boo" Radley had come up from behind her and wrapped the blanket around her so she could keep warm. After that was all sorted out, they decided just to keep the blanket.  I know this is completley off subject, but, I LIKE BACON!!!!!!!!!

Chapters 1-5 connector

I was the connector of my group. My job was to describe events, characters, conflicts, or settings of the novel connect to everyday regular life in Kallispell, Montana. I have to connect out story, To Kill A Mocking Bird, to events in life, news events, and pop culture. The story is a great fictional story which connects a fictional setting with how life was in the south back then when colored people were still being oppressed. It starts in the small peaceful town of Mayfield.  It starts of with a little girl named Scout explaining how her brother, a football star, broke his arm and how he was afraid of never being able to play football again.
