If this chapter were to have a name, what would you name it? Make sure to explain why you would give it this name, how it connects to parts of the chapter, etc.
Nick Chapters 2-3 For chapter 2 I would name the chapter: No Reading Allowed. This would tie into the part of the chapter where the teacher catches Scout reading. This keeps bugging her and this topic even shows up in the next chapter as well. Scout really feels bother by the fact she can't read/write in first grade and in school. For chapter 3 I would name it: The Ewells. Burris Ewell and his family seems to be the disgrace of Maycomb. They are so bad that the laws are somewhat exempt from them. They let Mr. Ewell hunt when it's not hunting season and the son only has to go to school on the first day of school. Even that was risky to even have done. The gist of the chapter was focused on them. Also towards the end Scout doesn't think that it's fair that he has to go to school, but Burris doesn't.
Nailah Chapters 4 and 5 I would name Chapter 4 "Cut". The beginning of the chapter goes by fine and usual. Nothing different happens at school, then Dill comes back in the summer. Of course, Dill comes back, but before then, Scout found the gum and pennies in the tree, which went supposed to be there. Then, when Dill came, they started doing a mini play. When Jem pushed Scout in the tire and landed in the years, there wasn't supposed to be a laugh. Basically, things happened in this section that didn't go as planned, just like in rehearsals, when something goes wrong, they tell "cut". I would call chapter 5 "Separating" because everyone seems to grow further apart in this section. Jem and Dill both drift away from Scout, so she goes to Miss Maudie. When Atticus catches Jem trying to put the note in the Radley house, Jem gets mad at Atticus and says he doesn't want to be a lawyer, which means he doesn't want to be like his father anymore.
I think that the chapter name for these chapters or this section would be fair trial. I think that a big part of the section was when Atticus tells them not to imitate the radleys because they are still people. I know that I am wondering what he did and I'm sure that the kids are too. I think it was a cruel thing to say that she doesn't want to be a lawyer like attics is. I think that fair trial would be a good name because Atticus is telling the kids to be nice to the radleys and give them a fair chance and trial because that is what lawyers have to do and you must be honest in a fair trial and scout talks about how dill tells so many lies.
William, (chapters 6-7) The name for chapter 6 would be "Shotgun." Mr. Radley threatens Scout, Dill, and Jem with his shotgun, and after this, they continue to be afraid about it for the rest of the night. When you just had someone fire a shotgun at you, even as a warning short, you won't be thinking about much else for a while. Later at night, Scout assumes that Nathan Radley is still waiting for Jem to get his pants, "ready with the other barrel." Also, having the title "Shotgun" will inevitably make the reader wonder whose shotgun it is, and they will be drawn in. On the other hand, it does take away some of the surprise of the scene.
I think the name for this section should be Scared Straight. I would name it this because the biggest part of chapter 6 is when Jem, Dill and Scout go to the Radley's and Nathan shoots at them. They are kind of stupid to go over to Radley's, but they do it anyways. Getting shot at is obviously scary for all of them and they are worried what will happen if Atticus catches them. At the beginning of chapter 7, scout says, "Jem stayed moody and silent for a week. As Atticus had once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it: if I had gone alone to the Radley Place at two in the morning, my funeral would have been held the next afternoon. So I left Jem alone and tried not to bother him." which shows that Jem was definitely scared and worried to go back
Alice (6-7) I think the name for chapter seven should be "The Silent Killer". The supposed killer, Boo, has scared Jem silent, or, at least, silent for a while. It took him ages before he was able to tell Scout about what happened that night. The silent mystery of the Radley house has always been a constant fear of the children, but it just became legitimized by the suspicious laundry, and that's enough for anyone to be scared into wordless contemplation of that night. We've seen Jem as being a pretty proud character so far, but now, his own boyish pride isn't enough to shake away the fear of Boo. Instead of doing what i thought he might do and just pretend it never happened, Jem let himself tell Scout because he was so terrified about the "what it" of that night. What if it had been Boo who stitched up his pants? What if it had been him all along who was putting treats in the tree? What is Boo wasn't actually as bad as everyone said he was? "What if" is a powerful question that can take over someone's life, and i think that's what is was doing to Jew until he couldn't take it any more and had to tell Scout. The alleged killer sent Jem into this silent confusion about the possibilities of what happened that night.
Jada (Chapter 8) I would name this chapter "The Kids Who Started a Storm". The chapter starts off with talking about one of the first snows since a while ago in Maycomb. Scout tells us the old wives tale by Mr. Avery that snow is caused by misbehaving children. Scout and Jem haven't exactly been doing the right thing lately and Scout thinks it is her fault for the snow. Towards the end Miss Maudie's house catches on fire. I chose my chapter name because of this series of misfortunate events which all connects to bad things like snow happening because of bad children. Scout believes she Jem brought unhappiness to their neighbors, which includes the snow and the fire. In a child's mind they kind of started this storm of misfortune.
Ryan(Chapter 8) I would name this chapter "Fire and Ice". Before you read the chapter, it would give you an idea that there would be a conflict between two opposite people. After you read it, you would realize it was referring to the actual events in this section. It also relates a little to when Boo supposedly gives Scout the blanket. You are given the idea of a cold mean person but after he gives her the blanket you see a warm kind person.
I missed a sentence when a copied and pasted the original over. Here it is... We have already been given the sense that Boo is nicer then he appears, but this event really makes him seem like a caring person contrary to the society's beliefs.
If this chapter were to have a name, I would name it "Frozen, Charred Azaleas". I would give it this name because it connects to the snow, the fire, and Miss Maudie. The reason I think that this name works so well is because, at the beginning of the chapter, the kids are so excited about the snow and think it is a great thing even though all the adults say that it is the children's fault for being disrespectful, and then when they are in Miss Maudie's yard she tells Jem and Scout to be careful not to step on her plants and that she needs to wrap them up to keep them from freezing in the cold, which seems sad since the plants die anyway after the fire. Another reason I like this name is because when Miss Maudie's house burns down it is all due to the fact that she had set a fire to keep some of her potted plants from freezing which ended up burning her house down and then it all just goes back to the fact that because of the snow her house burned down and the reason the snow was falling in the first place was because the children were being disrespectful. So the reason I really like this name is because I think that it does a really good job of capturing the three main parts of this chapter, the snow falling because of the children, Miss Maudie's house burning down because of the snow, and the azaleas being frozen and charred because of all of these things.
If I were to name this chapter, I would name it "Snow fire", because it would foreshadow the weather as well as the fire at Miss Maudie's. Not only that, but snow and fire aren't things you'd expect being together, just like Scout doesn't expect Boo Radley to give her a blanket. This shows us how Boo is really looking out for Jem and Scout, yet Scout is still scared of him. The snow is new to the town and Miss Maudie's house fire will force her to start building a new house and garden. This chapter is about the unexpected and a I think that it also signifies that we will soon learn more new things about the Radley's.
Emery (Chapter 8) I think that this chapter would be called "Everything's Gone Cold" because the largest factor in this section is the cold. When Scout sees it's snowing, she thinks the world is ending, she's in complete shock by the sight of it. Then, they build they dirt/snow man and Jem takes great pride in it, I'd also like to point out that the snowman included all the people hurt or of more significance in the section, Mr. Avery and Ms. Maudie. The snowman also receives great approval from Atticus whom complements Jem for his hard work, and Atticus rarely shows such pleasure in his children. Then even with the fire at Mss Maudie's, the children are across the street and are freezing and then Boo Radley gives a blanket to Scout. So the cold ties a lot of the main points and events together.
Charlotte chapters 13-14: I would name chapter 13 "Pick a side". Aunt Alexandra just decides to declare herself as a new mother role in Jem and Scout's life, and Atticus actually seems to be siding with her for a while. When he returns, he tells his kids that their aunt will be helping take care of them while he's away working on the case. Influenced by Aunt Alexandra's strong opinions, Atticus gives the kids a lecture about what it means to be a Finch and how they need to present themselves. Scout has a minor break down and for a moment starts to believe that her dad has been brain washed.
I would name chapter 14 "They started it!" Scout always becomes very defensive, even after asking a simple question like "What is rape?" Atticus looks "pensive", so Scout has to go on about how Cal gave her a hard time with the question and was the one who made her ask Atticus instead. Also, when Jem tells Scout not to bother Aunt Alexandra, Scout starts a fist fight squabble on the sofa but puts the blame on Jem for telling her what to do
I would call chapter fifteen "Rude awakening." I think this applies to the book literally and figuratively. It applies literarily because right when Scout is about to go to sleep Jem wakes her up, and they end up going to find Atticus. When the men meet Atticus out in the front yard in the beginning and when they meet him at the jail in the end, it opens the eyes of Scout, Jem, and maybe even Dill, this is the more figurative way. I think they realize just how serious this situation has gotten. One thing that I noticed is that Atticus never said, "It's not time to worry yet." This is important because it is definitely a scary time, and not having Aticus' comforting words may mean that it is time to worry, which could also tie into a rude awakening. First, it's not time to worry then all of a sudden it is.
Carly (20-22) If this section had a name, it would be "The Race to Freedom," because Atticus is defending Tom Robinson is the trial. I think race is a good word to use for the title because in this section, there is a lot of racial discrimination. Freedom is used because the trial is to let people know that Tom is innocent, but due to the racism, the people say he is guilty anyway.
