3 x 3 To Kill A Mockingbird

Scout's perspective.

Beginning: Gigantic, Moon, Rising.

"'Not a breath blowing,' said Jem. 'Looka yonder.' He pointed to the east. A gigantic moon was rising behind Miss Maudie's pecan trees."

I chose these three words from the beginning because I felt like it represented well imagery. You can just picture the moon glistening because those pecan trees.

Middle: Roar, Shotgun, Shattered.

"Halfway through the collards I tripped; as I tripped the roar of a shotgun shattered the neighborhood."

This quote shows excellent personification. Shotguns can't necessarily "roar" but you can impersonate or make out the sound of the gun and how loud it must have been. I think it makes you imagine the scene as if you were there, watching.

End: Every Scratch Of Feet, On Gravel,Seeking Revenge.

"Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley and after us; insects splashing againsr the screen berry trees were malignant, hovering alive."

I chose this part of the end of the book because it represents how they really feel. Since they went onto the porch, heard the shotgun go off, they basically are shaking in their boots because they know all the rumors about Boo and his family.
