Answer: Bob Ewell had spat on Atticus

The collection goes to Helen Robinson to help her and her kids out. Helen can't find a job because of her husband, Tom, being accused of rape.

12. Where does this story take place?

From Quiz "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee

Answer: Maycomb County

Maycomb is thought to be a quiet town, until the trial happens. Most of the town is racist, and Atticus doesn't want Scout and Jem to be racist. There is no actual county called Maycomb County, it is just a figment of Harper Lee's mind.

13. What is the name of Calpurnia's church?

From Quiz To Kill a Mockingbird

16. When Jem and Scout went to church with Calpurnia, how much money did Reverend Sikes want to collect?

From Quiz To Kill (or not to kill) a Mockingbird

Answer: Ten dollars

This very much reminds me of a scene in the movie "A Time to Kill". If you haven't seen it you really should watch it. The Reverend in that movie, however, has slightly ulterior motives.

17. On the very first page of the book the author tells us of Jem's reaction to his arm being broken at the age of thirteen. What was this reaction?

From Quiz Jem in "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Answer: He was not upset once he knew it wouldn't affect him playing football

It is only at the end of the book that the author tells us exactly how the injury to Jem came about. If you read the story for the second time, knowing what is going to happen, you realise that Jem seems to have inherited his father's level-headed approach to most things in life.

18. Who is the narrator of this book?

20. What happened to the first two clients that Atticus ever had in Maycomb?

From Quiz Atticus in "To Kill a Mockingbird"

From Quiz To Kill A Mockingbird

Answer: crackling

'It was not often that she made crackling bread, she said she never had time, but with both of us at school today had been an easy one for her. She knew that I loved crackling bread.'

Jem is short for Jeremy, all of nearly four years older than Scout, and very clearly is his father's son in habit and temperament.
