. 1. 1. In chapter 10, Jem and Scout thinks Atticus is old. In the beginning of the story, they use “Atticus was feeble” to begin the chapter ; Atticus was much older than the other parents in their school. Jem plays football with Atticus, but when Jem wants to tackle Atticus, Atticus would say he’s too old for it. Furthermore, Atticus wore glasses, he sat in the living room and read ; unlike others father went hunting and fish. I think this is a common feeling between children and parents, it is because of “Generation Gap”, when the children want to play or do something but the parents say “ No”, they would think their parents are old. They have different perspective of viewing things, children would think their parents are old-school. 2. 2. The title is important because It's about how you shouldn't be cruel or discriminate those who haven't done anything wrong. Tom Robinson was treated badly just for being black he didn't do anything wrong. Miss Maudie tells the kids never to "kill a mockingbird" because they are good birds and don't do anything wrong. So the title reflects what Atticus and Miss Maudie tells the children and about Tom Robinson. 3. 3. The mad dog is really important in chapter 10. First, The dog itself symbolizes racism. Atticus's willingness to shoot the dog, parallels his willingness to take on Tom Robinson's case. Secondly, the dog represent the idea of “Good vs Evil”. Atticus was brave enough to shoot the mad dog (evil). Yet, Jem and Scout sees their father other side and they realized Atticus was actually really cool , best shots.
