Essay Assignment #13:

Note: Please include a thorough self-assessment with your second draft for grading on Tuesday night.

Chapter 24 seems to be a key chapter in the book. There are many themes in the chapter, but what is the theme of the chapter that really jumps out at you? Is it racism? Hypocrisy? Courage? (Miss Maudie and Aunt Alexandra) The ability to change? (Aunt Alexandra) ... or some other theme?

In your 4-paragraph essay, discuss how this theme plays out in the chapter and in your own life.  

Use the eight-sentence and two-sentence formats.

Please be very specific -- not vague,

and be sure to include some brief quotes to support your argument.

In one body paragraph, use  

and clearly identify  

a loose sentence

to enhance the writing.

In the other body paragraph, 

use and clearly identify

a periodic sentence

to enhance the writing.
