While reading the chapters one through five I would read through my four questions. To be prepared to look for what I was supposed to pick up on. I found that Question one, what did you find yourself thinking about during the reading process? I was thinking about why the children were so interested in the different families in town. It seems a little odd to me that they were so intrigued with what they were all doing. From what I remember as being a little kid I am pretty sure I was more concerned about what I was going to do after school, then what all my friend’s families were up to. Question two; select two passages from this section. Why did you pick these passages? What do you think about these passages? Two passages that stood out to me were when they found the items in the Knothole. And when they got in a fight with their teacher. I picked these passages because they seem like there going to play important rolls later in the book. Question three what are the most important ideas from this section? I think the most import idea that stuck out to me was boo radly and I thank that later in the book he will become the mockingbird. Question four what is one question you would ask the author if she was in you literature circle. I would ask her how she was able to go into such great detail in this book. I have never read a book that went into as much detail as she shows.
       In the literature circle they would talk about how the different symbols in the book might mean something later on in the book. They came up with the two penny's and how that later they were going to show up and mean something. I learned that boo radly was kind of the mysterious character that the book kind of revolves around. And I thank that he will be more reveled later on in the book.
     Scott and Dill are always so concerned about what there neighbors are doing. It reminds me of stories of my aunt Angie and when she was a little kid she would always go over and learn all of the gossip of what’s going on in the neighbor’s lives.
