I chose this picture as I think as a town, it will be quite small, so I think that the houses will be clustered together. Therefore, I chose this picture as my choice.

I chose this picture because it is a church in 1930s. So, i thought that it would look something like this.

The reason why i choose this picture because it is like the court house said in the story.

Quotes From Chapter 9

First Quote:
Conversation with Atticus and Scout:
Scout: 'Do you defend niggers, Atticus?' I asked him that evening.
Atticus: 'Of course I do. Don't say nigger, Scout. That's common.'
Scout: 's what everybody at school says.'
Atticus: 'From now on it'll be everybody less one -'
Scout: 'Well if you don't want me to grow up talkin' that way, why do you send me to school?'

From this first quote, we can know that Scout wanted to avoid school as much as possible. We can also know that Scout was asking if her father, a lawyer, is defending niggers as Cecil Jacobs had announced in the school yard that her father is defending niggers which she wanted to know what he mean by saying that. Scout's dad, Atticus defended niggers for a number of reasons, mainly by the fact that if he do not defend niggers, he could not held his head high nor can he represent this county in the legislature.

Second Quote:
Conversation with Scout and Uncle Jack:
Uncle Jack: 'Scout, do you still hate me?'
Scout: 'Go on, please, sir.'
Uncle Jack :'Why, I didn't think you'd hold it against me,' he said. 'I'm disappointed in you - you had that coming and you know it.'
Scout: 'Didn't either.'
Uncle Jack: 'Honey, you can't go around calling people -'
Scout: 'You ain't fair, I said, 'you ain't fair.'

This conversation comes after Scout having a 'fight' with Francis who he called Scout's father a nigger lover. Uncle Jack asked Scout if she still hates him as he punished her for calling people bad names. Scout then told Uncle Jack that he is a nice person, but he does not understand children that well when he replied back that such conduct of hers need no understanding as he said her conduct was obstreperous, disorderly and abusive. The conversation ended well as Scout finally told Uncle Jack that her misbehaviour happened as Francis called her father, Atticus, a nigger lover. Uncle Jack then finally understands and he started to treat Scout's hand from the punishment she received just now.
