Multiple Intelligences:

 

 As the graph shows, I am a logical guy and I am number smart. The graph also shows that I am very weak in the areas of nature and linguistics. This means that I am not good with my words and affected by nature greatly. However, I feel that I am not good in music and I should be better in the field of nature. I feel that the Multiple Intelligence test result will not be accurate for everyone who takes the test as people might lie in order to achieve better results. The second reason is that I feel that there are not enough questions to access a person's true capabilities. Take the MIDAS test I took last year. It had more than 50 questions to access my capabilities while this test only had 40 questions.

However, I agree on a fact that says that this graph shows the areas that the people are strong and weak in, and this allows them to improve on themselves.

Chapter naming

Chapter 2 - School.

There are two reasons why I named this chapter "School and Education".

Reason 1:
Scout goes "to school for the first time" (Pg 21) and she realises that "'school's different'" from home. Jem is little ashamed of his sister and gives her clear instructions not to "embarrass him" (Pg 22) or "tag along behind him" (Pg 22).

Reason 2:
Scout gets scolded and punished on her first day of school by her teacher, Miss Fisher, when she tries to explain that Walter Cunningham comes from a poor family who does not accept charity. Miss Fisher is an "outsider" as she comes from a town a few milesaway from Maycomb, and this chapter emphasises the Maycomb distrust of people not from the district. This chapter also criticises the education system, where the talk is only about new methods and the children are made to conform to the expectations of the teachers.

Chapter naming

Chapter 1 - Introduction

There are two reasons why I named Chapter 1 Introduction.

Reason 1:
"Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself." (Pg 11). This quote introduces one of the main themes in the novel - Fear. One example of fear at work in the novel is Boo Radley, who has been portrayed by the Maycomb community as a monster. Everything that happens in the town is blamed on him, even though there was evidence that it was not related to him, the people of Maycomb were "unwilling to discard their initial suspicions" (Pg 15).

Reason 2:
"The sheriff hadn't the heart to put him in jail alongside Negroes" (Pg 17) shows the racial prejudice that people had against Negroes, racial prejudice is also one of the themes in the novel. This is evident when Tom Robinson was found guilty of raping Mayella Ewell, something which he did not do.
