Although Atticus did not want his children in court, he defends Jem’s right to know what has happened. Explain, in your own words, Atticus’s reasons for this. (Look at the speech beginning, ‘This is their home, sister’.

Miss Maudie tells Jam that ‘things are never as bad as they seem’. What reasons does she give for this view?

Why does Dill say that he will be a clown when he grows? Do you think he would keep this ambition for long?

This story is set in the 1930s but was published in 1960. Have attitudes to racism remained the same (in the USA and the UK) or have there been any changes (for the better or worse) since then, in your view?
