Question

I have to do alot of reading for this book this weekend, and answer a ton of questions..I'm stuck though.

Questions I don't know:

-Which details help the reader understand that the jail house is a symbol of Maycomb's resistance to progress?

-What persuades the lynching party to give up their attempt on Tom's life?

-Which facts in Chapters 17 & 18 give the reader a picture of the Ewells?

-What does Atticus mean when he speaks of "polite fiction"?

Hi,

I think I know the fourth answer for your To Kill A Mockingbird homework questions.

4. "Polite fiction" is when people know the truth but they make up a fiction just for the sake of politeness.

The jailhouse is an ugly building cramped between two businesses on Main Street.
