Session 1 - Discussion Director

Why does Miss Caroline get upset with Scout?
Miss Caroline gets upset with Scout because she already knows how to read.
Miss Caroline is shocked and likes to begin reading with "a fresh mind". She also think Scout is lying because she says that her father did not teach her to read. Another reason Miss Caroline gets upset with Scout is when Scout tries to explain about Walter Cunningham. She is embarrassed by the way Scout explains the situation and hits her.

Why does Jem not like the Radley house?
Jem does not like the Radley house because of all the urban legends surrounding the house.
There are many horrible stories about the Radleys. They say that the pecans from the tree in the Radley yard are poisonous. Boo Radley had been a bad kid. One day, he was sitting and cutting out things from the newpaper. As his father passed by, he stabbed him with a pair of scissors.
