 Netflix 
or

3) chart how Mulligan employs Gothic elements in the final scenes of the film

    When Atticus agreed with Sheriff Tate about Mr. Ewell "falling on his knife" was he trying to protect Jem or Mr.Radley (Boo)?

      Because they all looked at Mr. Radley when Sheriff Tate said that.

      Boo! The camera, and the character reactions, show that!

      and given that the film cuts the newspaper editorial about mockingbirds/Tom Robinson, I find Scout's porch epiphany a stretch.

      nope. I enjoy going outside, don't use scissors, and can't carve soap figures of curious neighbor kids

    The section "An ancient prophecy, omens, portents, and visions" is very confusing to me. Is there a more simple way you can explain that?

    Should we fill out the chart based off of the full film or just the last few scenes?

    last scenes, however, the gothic flows through earlier parts. Empty porch swings...

    Do we have to fill out the back of the Poem Proposal?
