What was the significance of the snowfall in Maycomb?
I believe that the author was trying to show everyone that things were starting to get weird. The way to do that was make something unusual happen like a snowfall in Alabama. The author was leading up to something later on in the novel.
Why did Boo Radley come and put a blanket on Scout?
I think that Boo Radley finally came out of his house and put a blanket on Scout because he cared about the children. He hadn’t been with anyone for a long time and he wanted to get to know Scout, Jem and Dill.
Why does Atticus defend a black man in the court of law?
I believe that Atticus defends a black man because Atticus does not care who he defends but as a lawyer he will try and bring justice however he can. He is a man with great morals and great bravery to defend a black man in his era.
