More Things to Consider for the To Kill a Mockingbird Test

Be sure you can identify the historical period (when the story takes place), the geographical location (where the story takes place--country, region, state, town), the cultural milieu (the surrounding culture).

Know what the title of the book means. See Chapter 10.

How is Mrs. Dubose courageous? How is Atticus courageous?

Where is there prejudice in the story? Think of examples of fear, blindness, anger, ignorance. What culture understandings and ignorance are present when the children go to church with Calpurnia? How is the jury prejudice?

Review Atticus's question of Mayella Ewell, Atticus' speech to the jury (chapter 20) and Jem's reaction to the verdict.

What is the fate of Tom Robinson, Bob Ewell, and Boo Radley.

Expect matching questions, true and false, and multiple choice.
