1. What events in the story are most significant? Why?

1) The children's curiousity about Boo and what they learn from it.

2) Mayella Ewell's false accusations (forced on her by her father's discovery).

3) Atticus' wiliingness to go the extra mile for Tom.

4) Tom's death..... he knew what would happen when he ran. Death was welcome where imprisonment was not.

5) Mr. Ewell's constant threats in the community (Helen Robinson, Atticus, and his family).

6) Boo's saving the children..... he made gossip and preconceived notions a complete lie.
