To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

Chapters 16-19 Review Sheet

 

            Atticus says, in Chapter 16, “A mob’s always made up of _________________, no matter what.  Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a ______________.  Every mob in every Southern town is always made up of ____________________________________________________.”  Crowds of people come into town to watch the big trial of Tom Robinson.  Why isn’t Miss Maudie going? ______________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________.  Mr. Dolphus Raymond is in front of the courthouse.  An unusual thing about Dolphus Raymond is ________________________________

______________________________________________________.  Jem says he has _______________

_____________________________ in the paper bag he drinks from.  Jem says “mixed children” are sad because _____________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________. 
 “This was news, news that put a different light on things…I thought it odd that [Atticus] hadn’t said anything to us about it.”  What is this news? ________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________.  The courtroom is full; no room is left.  But Jem, Scout, and Dill sit ______________________________________________________.

            First to testify is ________________________________.  Atticus gets an important detail from him: Mayella Ewell was banged and bruised on the __________________ side of her face, and her _________________ eye was blackened.  The Ewell family lived behind the _____________________

______________________.  Their yard is full of ___________________________________________, except for one corner, which has 6 _______________________________________________________.  Mr. Ewell’s version of events is that he was coming home one night when he heard ________________

_______________________________, so he ___________________________________________, but he got tangled in the ____________________.  Finally, through the window he saw ________________

____________________________________________________________.  Reverend Sykes thinks Jem should take Scout home because ________________________________________________________.  Next, says Mr. Ewell, he ran ________________________________________, but _______________

_________________________________________________.  When it’s his turn, Atticus asks Mr. Ewell about two main points.  One is, why Mr. Ewell didn’t call ______________________________ that night.  The other is, “Mr. Ewell, can you ___________________________________?”  That seems like an unrelated question, but it is only to show in the end that Mr. Ewell is _____________________, just like the person most likely to have attacked Mayella.

            Mayella takes the stand.  She is __________________ years old.  She says that she invited Tom Robinson into the yard to ________________________________________________ but that he followed her into the house when she went in to get ________________________________________.  When Atticus get us to question her, she says Atticus is making fun of her, because he’s calling her __________________ and _________________________.  Atticus asks her if she loves her father, and she says, “He does tollable [tolerable], except when—”  What was going to be the end of that statement, probably?  (Read the next few lines on the page.) ___________________________________________.  But when Atticus asks if Mr. Ewell ever beat her, she answers _________________________________

__________________________________________________________.  When Atticus asks her to identify the man who raped her, she says it was _____________________________.  When Tom Robinson stands up to be identified, he has one particular, important physical characteristic: _________

_______________________________________________________________________________.  Finally, Atticus asks for the truth:  “…didn’t ____________________________ beat you up?”  The trial pauses, and Scout sees that ___________________________________ has noticed they’re in the courtroom.  It’s nearly ___________ o’clock, but Atticus thinks the trial can finish today.  He has only one witness to call.
