TKAM GN: Chapter 7 and 8

In chapter 7, Jem confides to Scout that when he went back for his pants that got stuck on the Radley's fence, they

• were not there where he left them.

• were in the knot-hole of the tree with the other gifts.

• were folded across the fence and the hole in them was repaired.

• were cut into small pieces and left by the fence.

The reader can infer that Nathan Radley (Boo's brother)

• plugged the knot-hole with cement because the tree was dying.

• plugged the knot-hole with cement because he wanted to prevent Boo from communicating with the children.

• plugged the knot-hole with cement because they were his treasures that he kept in the tree and knew the children kept taking them.

• plugged the knot-hole with cement because he wanted to upset Jem.

What had not happened in Maycomb for nearly 50 years?

• A volcanic eruption

• A fire

• A snowstorm

• A sighting of Boo Radley

What dramatic event causes Atticus to wake up the children at 1 AM?

• A snowstorm

• There was a sighting of Boo Radley

• Dill had just arrived from Meridian

• Miss Maudie's house had caught fire

In the novel, Mrs. Radley (Boo's mother) is mentioned:

"Old Mrs. Radley died that winter, but her death caused hardly a ripple- the neighborhood seldom saw her, except when she watered her cannas." What do you think "hardly a ripple" means in this passage?

• Everyone was very upset about her death.

• People barely noticed.

• It was very peaceful after she died.

• She was known to everyone.

In the novel, Scout speaks about Mrs. Radley's death (Boo's mother):

"Jem and I decided that Boo had got her at last, but when Atticus returned from the Radley house, she said she died of natural causes, to our disappointment." This quote is an example of

• verbal irony

• situational irony

• dramatic irony

• metaphorical irony

When Atticus says "It looks like all of Maycomb was out tonight, in one way or another", who is he referring to?

• Miss Maudie

• Stephanie Crawford

• Scout and Jem

• Boo Radley

In the novel, Atticus smiles when Jem starts to realize how the blanket got onto Scout's shoulders. You can infer that Atticus

• knows that the children are fascinated with Boo Radley and is amused that they missed their chance to see him.

• knows that it wasn't Boo Radley who put the blanket on Scout, he was only kidding.

• knows that it was really Dill that put a blanket on Scout's shoulders.

• saw Boo Radley put the blanket on Scout's shoulders told him to do it very quietly.

Throughout chapters 1-8, we can infer that Jem is

• not afraid of anything, especially Boo Radley.

• happy to have Scout tag along in anything he does.

• concerned with Atticus's opinion of him.

• always complimenting Scout for being a girl.

In the original novel version of To Kill a Mockingbird, the character of Calpurnia is an important part of the family in chapters 1-8. She irritates Scout mostly because she is a mother figure to her. Calpurnia in the graphic novel, chapters 1-8, can best be described as

• not being mentioned at all in the graphic novel.

• not interested in caring for Scout and Jem.

• called by a different name in the graphic novel but still just as important.

• in the background of the story, but not an important part of the family.
