Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Simon's homestead?

Answer: Finch's Landing

Finch's Landing is the family home. Atticus broke from the family tradition and decided to become a lawyer instead of a farmer.

2. How did Jem's mother die?

Answer: heart attack

Scout does not remember her mother and therefore does not really miss her, but Jem remembers her and Scout knew to leave him alone when he gave a bit of sigh and got a certain melancholy air about him.

3. What was Dill's full name?

Answer: Charles Baker Harris

At first Scout and Jem did not think much of Charles Baker Harris. Not only was he puny, but he liked to tell big stories about himself. However, Dill, Jem, and Scout become fast friends and the book centers on their discoveries and adventures together.

4. Scout enjoyed her first day of school.

Answer: false

Scout had a horrible first day of school. She totally got on the wrong side of her teacher and even ended up getting punished and sent to the corner. Who would have thought a child would be punished for knowing how to read in the first grade?

5. Why didn't Walter Cunningham pass the first grade?

Answer: he was needed to work the family's farm

Walter Cunningham came from a poverty-stricken family who was well-respected. He was a soft-spoken boy who inadvertently caused Scout to get on the "wrong side" of her teacher, so Scout decided to beat him up during recess.

6. What was the bargain Atticus made with Scout concerning school?

Answer: she goes to school and they continue to read together

Atticus struck a compromise with Scout. Even though Scout's teacher did not want her reading at home anymore, Atticus said if Scout went back to school they would continue to read at home together.

7. What is Miss Maudie's last name?

Answer: Atkinson

Miss Maudie, a neighbor of the Finches, is an important person to the children. She talks with them, not at them, helps them understand some complicated issues, and best of all, she bakes them cakes.

8. Who was the town gossip of Maycomb?

Answer: Miss Stephanie

Miss Stephanie Crawford had something to say about everybody and everything. Not all she said was true, but her embellishments helped add some color to the otherwise drabness of Maycomb life.

9. What advice does Atticus give Scout so she will get along better with people?

Answer: walk in their shoes

The advice of "walking in someone's shoes" is one of the story's central themes. Through Scout's eyes readers understand what it must be like to live under society's judgement of being poor, or uneducated, or of a different race.

10. Atticus approves of the children playing the "Boo Radley" game.

Answer: false

Atticus is quite upset with the children for their pretend game of enacting what they believe to be Boo Radley's life story.
