Theme– 20 points
When Miss Maudie says “His food doesn’t
stick going down” she means what?
Answer:
Maudie is implying to Mrs. Merriweather that it’s awfully
hypocritical to insult Atticus while she sits there and eats
his food--if he’s good enough for her to come to his
house, eat his food, then she should have a little more
respect for him.
(Another implication by Maudie’s words is that Atticus has a clear conscience, knows he did the right thing, and
would never act in the manner Mrs. Merriweather is.
Atticus displays more Christian behavior than Maycomb’s most “devout” Christian.
Thematically, this addresses the hypocrisy of people and their definition of being “religious.” )
Theme– 40 points
Which event marks Jem’s
coming-of-age or rite-of-passage
into adulthood?
Answer:
Tom’s trial & guilty verdict
Theme– 60 points
Which character did Atticus use
to show Jem and Scout what true
courage was?
Answer:
Mrs. Dubose
(Atticus demonstrated courage himself by defending Tom & gave
Jem an opportunity to learn/show courage by going to her house.)
Theme– 80 points
Which character(s) were making sure to breed hatred
and pass along racism to their children? How did
they demonstrate this?
Answer:
Bob Ewell--his unwillingness to allow his
daughter to be attracted to a Black man; his
example of tormenting Helen after Tom’s death
(allowing the kids to “chunk” at her); the
families who brought their children to the
courthouse for Tom’s trial.
Theme– 100 points
How did Miss Maudie mark
Jem’s maturity?
Answer:
He ate from the big cake.
(Rather than have his own “little” cake; comparable to being moved
up to the “adult” table at holiday dinners.)
Miscellaneous -20 points
Atticus proves that Bob Ewell beat his
daughter by having him do what?
Answer:
Write his name--he proved
he was left-handed.
Miscellaneous– 40 points

(within a 3 year time span).
Answer:

Miscellaneous– 60 points
In which city & state is the story
set?
Answer:
Maycomb, Alabama
Miscellaneous– 80 points
Aunt Alexandra defines “fine
folks” by what?
Answer:
How long they’ve been sitting on a plot
of land - how far you can trace their
roots to that community. (Scout points
out Aunty’s hypocrisy--that definition
would make the Ewells fine folks.)
Miscellaneous– 100 points
Scout and Jem argue over who caused Jem
to break his arm. Who does Scout think it
started with? Who does Jem think it started
with?
Answer:
Scout says the Ewells started it, but Jem says it began when Dill
came with the idea of making Boo Radley come out.
(Scout is thinking of the attack by Bob Ewell, whereas Jem
considers the rescue by Boo: had Dill not inspired so much
interest in Boo (resulting in their attempts to see him), perhaps
they would have ignored all Boo’s acts of kindness leading up to
the attack.
Final Jeopardy - Wager Amount
TOPIC: Theme
Write your wager on a piece of paper.
When Scout compares Stoner’s Boy from The Gray
Ghost to Boo, she says he was really nice. How was
Atticus’s response thematically significant?
Answer:
His response was: Most people are when you get to know
them. This is significant because his initial lesson to Scout
was to try to look at other’s perspective; take time to see how
they think & feel. She has finally realized & learned this
lesson with Boo. Jem learned it through Tom’s experience.
