Justice in chapter 9

Atticus was a lawyer and wanted to do the right thing even though the townspeople didn't like him being fair with a black man. It was Atticus's job to be fair with all people. Most of the white people of Maycomb county thought that blacks were less than them which shows how unjust white people were. Scout took all the insults very personally and couldn't stand the insults to Atticus.

Calpurnia

Calpurnia is a black slave. She does the cooking and cleaning for the Finches. Atticus gives her respect and some authority over Jem and Scout even though she is black. The Finches treat Calpurnia like she is part of the family. She can be kind of grouchy sometimes and can be very stern with Scout when she is rude. She likes pleasing Jem and Scout but knows when to punish them.

In the Arctic, there lived a polar bear named Nanook.

The Egyptians found him and he became the young Pharaoh's friend.

He became homesick, but he looked up and saw the same stars he saw in the Arctic.

Separate

slavery

Slavery is one of the big things that separate people. In the story, whites think of blacks as animals, but mostly possessions.

Money, education, and a job

People with money, education, and a good job are always in the higher class. Like the Duke and the King, they treat themselves as better and more important than other people.

A feud

In chapter eighteen, the feud between the Granderfords and the Shepherdsons came in. When two people think that they are rite and will not give in, they call on there family members and they call on there family members and so on, things start to get bad and turns into a feud.


Together

Respect

People with slaves get respect through there slaves. Huck did not have very much respect for the widow.

The river

The river brought people together by rafts, canoes, and ferry boats.

Huck and Jim's escape

When Huck escaped, he had time to set up a scene that made it look like he was murdered. He also had time to take supplies like food, cooking supplies and weapons.
Jim had less time to work with so he escaped at the first chance he got. He did not take anything with him which made things a lot harder.

thoughts on making a map by Bard's Black Arrow blog

I agree with Johnathon that the grapefruit map didn't really look like a map. I think it looked like two grapefruit skins. Back in the times of Columbus, maps were not very accurate. On maps back then, the world was a lot smaller, and there were only three continents. Europe, Africa and Asia.
