based on the test, i am a musical and intrapersonal person.
QUESTION:a. Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.
b. Which character would you like to play in the movie version of the novel? Explain.
c. Write a diary entry for a major character of the novel.
i would like to be friends with Atticus because in the context of To Kill a Mockingbird, he is a dependable, fair-mindedness, and lastly, he was a determined person who would not give up in the face of trouble.
I would say that Atticus is a dependable person because in the incident of the mad dog, the first person Calpurnia called was Atticus, who, in the knowledge of the children, was not someone who went hunting, did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke, but only sat in the living room and read. However, the fact that Calpurnia would call Atticus shows us that he is dependable, and he is someone who provides a sense of security, as he rushed to the scene in the mindset of protecting his children, and he proved to be someone with great accuracy, as he shot down the mad dog, to prove to his children that he was not someone who could not shoot but rather someone who did not want to show off his skills to shoot. From here we could also infer that he is someone who is humble and does not show off his ability to shoot.
I would make friends with Atticus because of his fair-mindedness. I can infer so from the case of Tom Robinson. Atticus took on the case of Tom Robinson although he knew that he would receive a lot of insults from the other side, and he knew that he will lose the case. Despite all odds, Atticus stood on Tom Robinson's side because he had a sense of justice and morality. He did not judge a person according to his skin colour. He was a determined person, because he did not give up trying to defend for Tom Robinson, in spite of the insults saying that he was a "nigger lover", and the countless setbacks that he will undergo, and he was determined to see it through no matter what.
now onto the second part. I would like to play as the innocent young scout in the movie.
The innocent and young scout in the movie has nothing to hide. She does not tell lies, she does not hide anything, and she is trusting. Adults have a lot to hide and one example of this is Nathan Radley. He sealed up the hiding place, because he did not want his brother, Boo Radley to make friends with Scout and Jem because if it really happens, Boo will come out of the Radley Place, something that will not be good. Nathan Radley did this because he had a family secret to hide. He wanted to keep the secret just as it is. Hence from here we can see that adults are always hiding things and unlike children, who are innocent and they always tell the truth. One incident of the child being innocent is that Scout ate the chewing gum. She did not suspect a thing and she just ate the chewing gum without questions. Hence it is evident that Scout is very trusting because she ate something without knowing where it came from and what does it contains.
For the last part i am supposed to write a diary entry of a major character in the novel. I will be writing about Jem on the incident of the one shot finch.
"Today I witness something that made me have a 180 degree change of Atticus. The incident was like this. Me and Scout were outside when we saw old Tim Johnson. He looked sick and he was trying to catch his tail. We rushed back home to tell Cal about it, and when she ran out she saw the mad dog and guess what? The first thing she called was Atticus. Would you believe it? She called Atticus first-hand. The Atticus whom we knew of as one who was feeble and he did not hunt, did not play poker, did not fish, did not smoke. Atticus rushed to the scene along with Heck Tate. It was surprising that the one shooting was not Heck Tate, but Atticus. We were very tense for Atticus, especially with him showing how amateur he was with his glasses falling down, and he had to adjust it back to the top. With the crack of the rifle, we saw Tim Johnson leap, flop over, and crumpled on the sidewalk in a brown-and-white heap. Never for once was i so proud of Atticus. He actually knew how to shoot, just that he doesn't want to show off in front of us. To think that we still felt disappointed of him knowing how to play the harp. Atticus became a hero in my heart and i am proud with him being able to do what other fathers can do."
