James Joyce: Araby; practice & quiz – Flashcards

question

answer

Ironic contrast between romance and reality

question

Which statement best summarizes the story?

answer

Dreams often end in disillusionment.

question

In contrast to the boy who is the main character, the narrator of "Araby" —

answer

is older

question

For the boy in the story, his epiphany brings him —

answer

the knowledge that his desires have been vain and foolish

question

In this story the word Araby refers primarily to a —

answer

fair or bazaar

question

The story is narrated by —

answer

the main character later in his life

question

What does the boy in "Araby" feel when he hears his uncle talking to himself?

answer

anxiety

question

Which detail in this passage from "Araby" is the strongest indicator of the boy's inner feelings? I found myself in a big hall girdled at half its height by a gallery. Nearly all the stalls were closed and the greater part of the hall was in darkness.

answer

the hall's darkness

question

The boy's experience at the stall of the young lady adds to the story because the incident —

answer

characterizes the bazaar as drab, seedy, and ordinary

question

What does this passage from "Araby" reveal about the boy's uncle? I heard him talking to himself and heard the hallstand rocking when it had received the weight of his overcoat. I could interpret these signs.

answer

he is drunk

question

Explain how Joyce uses irony to heighten the epiphany in this story. Cite details from the text to support your ideas.

answer

Students' responses will vary. A sample response follows: Joyce's story deals with an action that has been thwarted. Both in its form and in many of its details, "Araby" is ironic. The main character fails to reach the goal he has been struggling to attain and, in the end, becomes a completely different person than who he thought he was. This realization is an example of situational irony, but it also forms the basis of the story's epiphany. Another example of irony from the story is the discrepancy between the narrator's romantic view and reality. For instance, the magical Araby turns out to be just a tawdry bazaar.

question

In literature, the term epiphany refers to __________.

answer

a moment of sudden insight

question

In "Araby," Joyce describes the setting of the story in great detail. In an essay, examine how the setting of the story reflects the emotional condition of the narrator.

answer

Responses should indicate that the setting is a cold and poorly lit neighborhood. The grayness of the neighborhood contrasts directly with the passionate feeling that the narrator has for the girl. The darkness of the empty bazaar at the end of the story reflects the narrator's anger at how foolishly he behaved for an unrequited love.

question

"Araby" examines how a young boy's crush on a neighborhood girl affects his daily life. In a brief essay, explain how the narrator's fantasies about Mangan's sister serve to heighten his anger at the end of the story.

answer

The narrator dreams that he and the girl share a walk through the market and that he is a hero of sorts to her. His desire for the girl makes him emotionally vulnerable, which is why he offered to buy the girl something from the bazaar. When he was unable to purchase the gift, he realizes the futility of his daydreams, because they were turned into a reality.

question

After the narrator speaks to Mangan's sister about the bazaar, he tells her that if he goes to Araby, he will bring a gift for her. How does the narrator's behavior at home and in school show how this decision has affected him? Cite one or two examples from "Araby" to support your response.

answer

Sample answer: The narrator is distracted by his promise to the girl. He cannot concentrate on his schoolwork and is restless at home.

question

Choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to imperturbable in the following sentence. Explain why the answer you chose is correct. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.

answer

c, Explanation: Houses cannot show emotions.

question

When the narrator in "Araby" reaches the bazaar, he finds that many of the stalls are closed, and there is little from which to choose as a gift for Mangan's sister. This discovery leads him to an eqiphany. Choose the answer which best sums up the realization he has at the end of the story. Explain your answer choice. a. The futility of finding a gift parallels the futility of winning the girl's affection. b. Because there were no gifts to purchase, the narrator feels that he has missed his chance to impress the girl. c. The offhanded treatment of the narrator by the salesgirl offends the narrator. d. The narrator is annoyed that he didn't have more time to look for a gift.

answer

a, Explanation: The narrator realizes that a mere gift will not win the affections of this girl and his romantic visions of her make him feel frustrated.

question

In "Araby," the narrator has a crush on Mangan's sister. How does the narrator's act of watching this girl leave her house help you to realize how much he likes her?

answer

Sample answer: The narrator watches the girl leave her house every day from the floor of his front parlor, so that he may observe her actions without her knowledge. He looks forward to watching her leave every morning.

question

The story takes place —

answer

in Dublin, Ireland about a hundred years ago

question

answer

he will never be able to satisfy his desires

question

English Narrative Test – Flashcards

question

The author, Langston, narrates the story, it is told from a first person point of view and as if the event is taking place at this moment. It is as if we are there when this event took place.

answer

Salvation: Who narrates the story? From what point in time is it told?

question

He expects to see a light, symbolizing Jesus, and something to happen to him on the inside. He is expecting Jesus to come into his life, literally. He believes that he will be able to see and hear and feel Jesus inside his soul. But in reality nothing happens to him, he sits there on the bench and feels no sensations.

answer

Salvation: What does the narrator expect to happen when he is saved? What does happen?

question

He cried because he couldn't bear to tell his Aunt that he had lied, that he had deceived everybody in the church, that he hadn't seen Jesus, and that now he didn't believe in Jesus.

answer

Salvation: Why does the narrator cry at the end of the story?

question

When it first happened he was devastated, and at the time he wrote this selection the event was still painful but he accepts that it happens and has moved on. The first sentence says that he was saved, but not really, and this reflects that change in attitude because in the sentence he is not really upset that he was not "saved" thus he has moved on from that dramatic childhood experience.

answer

Salvation: What was Hughes's attitude toward his experience when it first happened? At the time he originally wrote this selection? How does the opening sentence reflect that change in attitude?

question

...

answer

Salvation: Why did Hughes not tell the story in the present tense? How would doing so change the story?

question

...

answer

Salvation: How much dialogue is used in the narration? Why does Hughes not use more?

question

...

answer

Salvation: Why does Hughes blend telling with showing in the story?

question

...

answer

Salvation: How much time is represented by the events in the story? Where does Hughes compress the time in his narrative? Why does he do so?

question

The effect of using child-like sentence structure is to fit the theme of "being in the past". Since the essay is a flashback of Hughes's revival that happened to him two decades prior, Hughes wanted to set the tone and mood to fit the time for better understanding and comprehension of his feelings during that time and the effects they had on him before and after. The sentence structure of an adolescent child only adds onto the effect of setting the scene of being a twelve-year-old boy in anxious arrival of an icon. The effect of the short sentences and the beginnings of the sentences with the word And, emphasize the idea of this being a child. This allows the reader to truly feel as if a child were telling the story, which would take the reader back to that time that event took place. Overall, this adds to the credibility that the story is in fact that of a confused and vulnerable child.

answer

Salvation: What is the effect of the short paragraphs? How does Hughes use paragraphing to help shape his story?

question

...

answer

Salvation: How much description does Hughes include in his narrative? What types of details does he single out?

question

...

answer

Salvation: What is the effect of the exclamation marks used in paragraph 2?

question

...

answer

Salvation: Try to identify or explain the following phrases: the ninety and one safe in the fold, the lower lights are burning, a rounder's son, and knickerbockered legs.

question

people who have experience disappointment, not just religious disappointment

answer

Salvation: Audience?

question

to recreate a traumatic experience from his childhood. His purpose was not just to express his feelings prompted by a significant event. His purpose was to expose that he finally came to terms with himself, his uncertainty, and his religion through all the doubt and pain two years prior.

answer

Salvation: Purpose?

question

informal (he uses short sentences and contractions, first person, colloquial language such as see the light which is slang)

answer

Salvation: tone?

Lord of the Flies – Chapter 7 – Flashcards

question

What does Ralph long for?

answer

About how dirty his clothes are, how torn they are, how long his hair is, etc. He really wants to take a bath.

question

What distracts the boys from the search for the Beast?

answer

"Castle Rock"

question

What does Ralph daydream about?

answer

About going home to a nice warm, clean bed, with books to read.

question

When the boar charges, what does Ralph do?

answer

Hits it with his spear.

question

Who volunteers to go alone through the jungle to tell Piggy the boys will return after dark?

answer

Simon

question

What do Ralph, Jack and Roger find when they get to the top of the mountain?

answer

They find the dead body of the pilot. His parachute lines are tangled around rocks, which causes it to move when the wind blows. They believe its the beastie.

question

When Ralph gets caught up in the pig hunt, what does his reaction tell you about him?

answer

That he has lost his innocence and become like the rest; a savage.

question

What is Ralph's opinion of his appearance as the chapter begins? What does his feeling indicate?

answer

He thinks he looks sloppy, and it bothers him to realize that he is becoming accustomed to the dirt. The passage confirms his desire to return to a civilized state. In the other boys, however, Ralph sees the same signs of decay and with a heavy heart realizes, "that he did not mind;" it was "normal" (110).

question

Simon says twice to Ralph, "You'll get back all right." Is there a reason he singles Ralph out, rather than saying: "We'll all get back all right"?

answer

He may be singling Ralph out because Ralph is especially tense at this point. On the other hand, it may be something else. Quite possibly, Golding is giving the reader some more foreshadowing.

question

At this point, what contrast is presented by Ralph's daydream?

answer

It serves to contrast the warmth and security of what was with his present predicament: innocence of his past confronts the ugliness of his present.

question

How does Ralph get caught up in the irrational lust to injure and kill?

answer

After Ralph hits the pig with a spear, he decided that hunting is good and feels like it made him more of a man. The game, begun innocently by Robert and Ralph, turns vicious as the boys including Ralph get caught up in the bloodlust and desire to kill and hurt. With their ritual chanting of "kill the pig" a crowd hysteria erupts. Robert has been slightly injured but badly frightened. On can be assured that Robert will not play the pig again.

question

Why is it especially horrific and savage when Robert says, "You want a real pig... because you've got to kill him" and Jack replies, "Use a littleun"?

answer

Although said as a joke at which everyone laughs, the idea is very primitive, reminiscent of a human sacrifice. One can imagine the boys killing a littlun at some point, either deliberately or driven by mob mentality. After all, even in Ralph, the best most responsible of them, the lust to to hurt and kill overtakes him.

question

Later, Ralph asks Jack why Jack hates him. Why does he?

answer

Jack resents that Ralph is the leader because he wants to be. The rest of the boys do not show obvious hatred, but a leader who cannot solve the dilemma they are in is not much of one.

question

How does Chapter Seven end?

answer

The three boys see the beast, drop their sticks, and run off the mountain.

question

Why do you suppose the author lets the reader know at the outset that it is the pilot and his parachute, not a beast that the boys find? Would there not have been greater suspense if the reader knew no more than the boys?

answer

The chapter might have been more suspenseful if the reader did not know: in knowing, however, the reader focuses attention on the boys reactions. Apparently the author wanted us not to get involved in the suspense, but rather to concentrate on the boys as they get involved. Readers can see the futility (uselessness) of intelligence trying to conquer fear. Even if the boys knew the beast was a dead pilot, it be too grotesque a thing for them to deal with, albeit not quite so frightening as an imaginary beast.

question

What was Scout's fantasy regarding Arthur (Boo) Radley?

answer

She fantasized that he was like one of the normal neighbors that she talked to all the time.

question

What did Scout hear Miss gates say at the courthouse? In class, Miss Gates said," That's the difference between America and Germany. We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship. We don't believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced. Compare and contrast these two statements. What does this tell us about Miss Gates?

answer

She said that "it's time to teach the blacks a lesson". This is different from the other quote because in there she is mad at Hitler for being racist but in the courthouse she is racist against black people. This tells me that she is a hypocrite because she did exactly what she was at angry at Hitler for.

question

Who saved Jem and Scout? Who killed Bob Ewell?

answer

Boo Radley

question

Why did Heck Tate insist that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife?

answer

He didn't want shy Boo Radley to be dragged into the limelight.

question

Scout arranged things so that "if Miss Stephanie Crawford was watching from her upstairs window, she would see Arthur Radley escorting [her] down the sidewalk, as any gentleman would do." Why did she do that?

answer

She didn't want Boo to be embarrassed to be led across the street by an eight-year-old. She wanted him to seem to be in charge.

question

As Scout leaves the Radley porch, she looks out at the neighborhood and recounts the events of the last few years from the Radley's perspective. Why is this important in analyzing Scout's character?

answer

It shows how Scout has matured since the beginning of the book.

Atticus calls Mayella m'aam and Ms Ewell. He is being polite. No one has ever been polite to her before so she thinks he's making fun of her.

question

18.2 What is so important about Tom Robinson's physical appearance? What, according to the testimony, does this prove beyond a doubt?

His left arm is deformed and shorter than the other; so Tom Robinson could not have raped her.

"Tom testifies that he always passed the Ewell house on the way to work and that Mayella often asked him to do chores for her. On the evening in question, he recounts, she asked him to come inside the house and fix a door. When he got inside, there was nothing wrong with the door, and he noticed that the other children were gone. Mayella told him she had saved her money and sent them all to buy ice cream. Then she asked him to lift a box down from a dresser. When Tom climbed on a chair, she grabbed his legs, scaring him so much that he jumped down. She then hugged him around the waist and asked him to kiss her. As she struggled, her father appeared at the window, calling Mayella a ***** and threatening to kill her. Tom fled.

question

19.3 In that moment with Mayella, Tom is in a no-win situation. Explain the subtlety of Tom's predicament.

answer

He was a black man, who, at that time, was the lowest on the social totem pole. Yet, here is a white woman who was coming on to him, expressing her loneliness and her desire to be with him. He cant fight her off, because he's not supposed to fight with a woman, let alone a black woman.

question

19.4 How is Mr Lin Deas heroic?

answer

He left the courtroom to go outside because he couldnt stand the trial.

question

that he tells the truth in the courtroom and outside around town.

Conditioning

answer

is the process of learning these associations (associated learning).

question

classical conditioning

answer

organisms learn the association between two stimuli. As a result of this association, organisms learn to anticipate events.

question

observational learning

question

unconditioned response (UR)

answer

is an unlearned reaction that is automatically elicited by the US

question

conditioned stimulus (CS)

answer

is a previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits a conditioned response after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

question

conditioned response (CR)

answer

is the learned response to the conditioned stimulus that occurs after CS-US pairing.

question

Acquisition

answer

is the initial learning of the connection between the US and CS when these two stimuli are paired.

question

Contiguity

answer

means that the CS and US are presented very close together in time—even a mere fraction of a second

question

Contingency

answer

means that the CS must not only precede the US closely in time; it must also serve as a reliable indicator that the US is on its way

question

Generalization

answer

is the tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response

question

Discrimination

answer

is the process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others.

question

Extinction

answer

is the weakening of the conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is absent.

question

Spontaneous recovery

answer

is the process in classical conditioning by which a conditioned response can recur after a time delay, without further conditioning.

question

Counterconditioning

answer

a classical conditioning procedure for changing the relationship between a conditioned stimulus and its conditioned response.

question

Aversive conditioning

answer

is a form of treatment that involves repeated pairings of a stimulus with a very unpleasant stimulus.

question

Placebo effect

answer

as the effect of a substance (such as a pill taken orally) or procedure (such as using a syringe to inject a fluid) that researchers use as a control to identify the actual effects of a treatment.

question

Taste aversion

answer

a special kind of classical conditioning involving the learned association between a particular taste and nausea.

question

Habituation

answer

refers to the decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated presentations.

question

Operant conditioning

answer

(or instrumental conditioning) is a form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior's occurrence. B. F. Skinner.

question

B. F. Skinner

answer

developed the concept of operant conditioning.

question

E. L. Thorndike's law of effect

answer

states that behaviors followed by satisfying outcomes are strengthened and that behaviors followed by frustrating outcomes are weakened.

question

Shaping

answer

refers to rewarding successive approximations of a desired behavior

question

Reinforcement in Operant Conditioning

answer

is the process by which a stimulus or event (a reinforcer) following a particular behavior increases the probability that the behavior will happen again.

question

positive reinforcement

answer

the frequency of a behavior increases because it is followed by the presentation of something that increases the likelihood the behavior will be repeated.

question

negative reinforcement

answer

the frequency of a behavior increases because it is followed by the removal of something.

question

Avoidance learning

answer

occurs when the organism learns that by making a particular response, a negative stimulus can be altogether avoided.

question

learned helplessness

answer

organism, exposed to uncontrollable aversive stimuli, learns that it has no control over negative outcomes.

question

primary reinforcer

answer

is innately satisfying; that is, a primary reinforcer does not require any learning on the organism's part to make it pleasurable. Food, water, and sexual satisfaction are primary reinforcers.

question

secondary reinforcer

answer

acquires its positive value through an organism's experience; a secondary reinforcer is a learned or conditioned reinforcer.

question

Generalization

answer

means performing a reinforced behavior in a different situation.

question

fixed-interval schedule

answer

reinforces the first behavior after a fixed amount of time has passed.

question

variable-interval

answer

schedule is a timetable in which a behavior is reinforced after a variable amount of time has elapsed.

question

Punishment

answer

is a consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur.

question

positive punishment

answer

a behavior decreases when it is followed by the presentation of a stimulus.

question

negative punishment

answer

a behavior decreases when a stimulus is removed.

question

Applied behavior analysis

answer

(also called behavior modification) is the use of operant conditioning principles to change human behavior. In applied behavior analysis, the rewards and punishers that exist in a particular setting are carefully analyzed and manipulated to change behaviors.

question

Albert Bandura

answer

pointed out that if we learned only in such a trial-and-error fashion, learning would be exceedingly tedious and at times hazardous. Instead, Bandura says, many complex behaviors are the result of exposure to competent models.

question

observational learning

answer

also called imitation or modeling, is learning that occurs when a person observes and imitates behavior.

question

To Kill a Mockingbird – Chapter 23 – Flashcards

question

Alexandra disagrees with Atticus about the threat. What are her reasons? In your opinion, should Atticus be taking the threat more seriously?

answer

Atticus is not worried at all. He does not believe that Ewell will follow through on the threat. He explains to Jem and Scout that Ewell's credibility had been destroyed at the trial, and the man simply had to take his anger out on somebody. He adds that he would rather have Ewell take it out on him than on Mayella and the other Ewell children.

question

Alexandra disagrees with Atticus about the threat. What are her reasons? In your opinion, should Atticus be taking the threat more seriously?

answer

Alexandra says that the Ewells are the kind of people who would "do anything to pay off a grudge." When Atticus asks her what Bob Ewell could possibly do to him, she replies, "Something furtive...you may count on that," implying that Ewell's revenge will be sneaky and/or unexpected. Opinions will vary on the second part of the question.

question

According to Atticus, what is optimistic about Tom's case?

answer

Atticus says that once the higher court reviews his case, Tom has a good chance of going free or at least receiving a new trial.

question

If Tom is found guilty on appeal, what will his punishment be? Why?

answer

If he is found guilty on appeal, Tom will be sentenced to death. This is because rape is a capital offense in Alabama, carrying a punishment of either death or twenty years to life. As Jem notes, the jury could have given Tom a lighter sentence, but the racial nature of the case provoked them to give the severest punishment possible. As Atticus explains, "Tom Robinson's a colored man, Jem. No jury in this part of the world's going to say, 'We think you're guilty, but not very,' on a charge like that."

question

Jem and Atticus converse about some of the obvious problems with the legal system. Briefly summarize their discussion. What are Jem's major points, and how does Atticus address them?

answer

Jem begins by saying he knows Tom's punishment is not right, but he cannot pinpoint exactly what is wrong. He offers that maybe rape should not be a capital offense in the first place. Atticus responds by saying he has no problem with the rape statute, but he does have "deep misgivings when the state ask[s] for and the jury [gives] a death penalty on purely circumstantial evidence." He says that, before a person is sentenced to death, there should be eyewitnesses who can testify that they saw the person commit the crime. In the absence of that, there is always "the shadow of a doubt...the possibility, no matter how improbable, that he's innocent." Jem observes that it all goes back to the jury for condemning a man on mere circumstantial evidence. He concludes that the system should "do away with juries." Atticus disagrees, offering what he believes is a better way: "Change the law. Change it so that only judges have the power of fixing the penalty in capital cases."

question

What does Atticus mean when he says, "...it's all adding up and one of these days we're going to pay the bill for it"? To what is he referring?

answer

Atticus has just been telling Jem that many white people cheat black people every day. In saying, "one of these days we're going to pay the bill for it," he means that sooner or later the white population will have to pay for the mounting injustices it has committed against the black population.

question

According to Atticus, what are three reasons why many Maycomb citizens do not want to serve on a jury? Summarize the example he uses to illustrate one of these reasons.

answer

Atticus says that many Maycomb citizens simply are not interested in serving on a jury. In addition, they fear retribution from their fellow citizens. To explain this to Jem and Scout, Atticus provides the following example: "Well, what if—say, Mr. Link Deas had to decide the amount of damages to award, say, Miss Maudie, when Miss Rachel ran over her with a car. Link wouldn't like the thought of losing either lady's business at his store...so he tells Judge Taylor that he can't serve on the jury because he doesn't have anybody to keep store for him while he's gone." Finally, Atticus says, "Serving on a jury forces a man to make up his mind and declare himself about something. Men don't like to do that. Sometimes it's unpleasant."

question

Atticus says that the fact that the jury took so long to reach a verdict may indicate "the shadow of a beginning." What does he tell Jem and Scout about one of the jurors?

answer

He says that one of the jurors held out for a long time. In fact, this juror had been "rarin' for an outright acquittal." This is surprising in itself, but even more shocking is the fact that this juror was of the Cunningham clan, many of whom were among the angry mob at the jail on the night of the thwarted lynching. Atticus tells Jem that once a person earns the respect of a Cunningham, the whole clan becomes fiercely loyal to that person. He adds that when the Cunninghams left the jail that night, he had a feeling that they left with a great degree of respect for the Finch family. Notably, if there had been just one more juror to hold out like the Cunningham man did, the trial would have ended with a hung jury.

question

When Scout learns about the Cunningham juror, what does she declare she will do as soon as school starts? What is Aunt Alexandra's response?

answer

Scout plans to invite Walter Cunningham home for dinner. She even mentions that maybe he can stay over sometimes after school. Aunt Alexandra once again shows her intolerance for people whom she believes are lower in class than the Finches. She begins by saying that the Cunninghams are good folks but "not our kind of folks." After much questioning by Scout about why she cannot play with Walter Cunningham, Alexandra finally reveals the depth of her prejudice and narrow-mindedness: "I'll tell you why...Because—he—is—trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what. You're enough of a problem to your father as it is."

question

What physical signs indicate that Jem is growing up? For example, what does he show to Scout when he brings her into his room?

answer

Jem is undergoing several physical changes as he matures. Scout notices that his eyebrows have become heavier, his body is slimmer, and he is growing taller. When he brings Scout into his room, he lifts his shirt to show her the beginnings of hair growth on his chest. He adds that he has hair under his arms now, too.

question

Scout explains to Jem what Aunt Alexandra said that caused her to cry. What was it that upset her more than anything else?

answer

Scout says she knows that Aunt Alexandra does not like her, and she does not care. She also knows that she is not a problem to Atticus, so that cruel remark did not bother her. What upset her was that Aunt Alexandra had called Walter Cunningham "trash."

question

How does Jem describe the social hierarchy in Maycomb?

answer

He says that there are four kinds of people in the world: "There's the ordinary kind like us and the neighbors, there's the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dump, and the Negroes." He goes on to explain, "...our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the colored folks."

question

Jem talks about "background" to explain how the Finches are different from the Cunninghams. How does he define "background"? What is Scout's response to his theory?

answer

Jem theorizes that the difference has something to do with the ability to read and write. According to him, "background" does not mean how long a family has been around. Instead, "it's how long your family's been readin' and writin'." He concludes that the Finches and the Cunninghams are different because "We've just been readin' and writin' longer'n they have." Scout disagrees, wisely reasoning that background cannot be the ability to read and write because these things must be learned: "No, everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That Walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks." Scout's response exemplifies the antithesis of racism and/or classism: the idea that people are just people and that no one is inherently different from anyone else.

question

At the end of the chapter, what conclusion does Jem draw about Boo Radley? What leads him to this conclusion?

answer

Jem cynically decides that Boo Radley stays in his house because he does not want to come out. He comes to this conclusion because he is frustrated and disillusioned by the way people treat one another: "If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other?...I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time...it's because he wants to stay inside."
