DJ #4 To Kill a Mockingbird Quote 2

" 'That is three-fourths colored folks and one-fourth Stephanie Crawford,' said Miss Maudie grimly.  "Stephanie Crawford even told me once she woke up in the middle of the night and found him looking in the window at her. I said what did you do, Stephanie, move over in the bed and make room for him? That shut her up a while.'  I was sure it did. Miss Maudie's voice was enough to shut anybody up." pg. 51

  1. (E)Miss Maudie is one of those people who are never outspoken, even by their peers. She is also a person who might take actions into her own matters, if someone does not take responsibility for theirs, or others actions.So i would say that she is strong and always confident.

  2. Saying something that will make the other person silent is really smart but kind annoying. I cant say much about this quote but i can say that keep things to your self because if you going to tell something to someone that will come up with some answer that you wont have any words to say some back then just don't say anything. Miss Maudie have a voice that sounds confident about her self with a really strong tone, well thats what i think.

  3. (Q) Does anyone know that whenever Miss Maudie takes a bath at five-o'clock that she becomes a different person? I was wondering because everyone is scared of her, but don't they notice that she becomes a different person and if so. Why are they still afraid?

  4. Miss Maudie is an interesting person because although she is a widow who lives by herself, she manages to keep a simple life. She tends her garden, and then sits on the porch enjoying life. Scout seems to be very much into gossip, because anytime she has a chance, she will try to find out stuff about people.

  6. (E) By the description of Miss Maudie's voice you can conclude that she has a very strong and confident voice that can make strong judgements. I would expect that almost anything that Miss Maudie says or makes a comment about will have an impact on the person. This is predicted from the text where it say that her voice was good enough to shut anyone up. By having a strong tone in her confident and daring voice, i can also conclude that she may judge alot not caring what other people think about her.This is sometimes considered rude when it comes to negative comment but maybe she is just the kind of person that likes to speak her mind and express her ideas about a certain thing. I think that is a good thing but there is limits to it and sometimes people go over it and end up hurting someone's feelings but i htink she doesn't care that much.

  7. (Q) Why does scout think that Miss Maudie's voice can shut up anybody? Is it because her voice is somehow intimidating in some way. Like if it was low or loud maybe even high pitch. But then again maybe its not only her voice that is intimidating like her manner of speaking or her strictness.

  8. (R) This quote is kind of confusing so is Miss Maudie. Miss Maudie is a person who the books needs to talk more about in able for the reader to understand her more. I think this quote is trying to say that Miss Maudie is a person who Maycomb folks are scared of...

  9. (E) Miss. Maudie is one of those people that hate folks that make up stories and so that's why she shut up Stephanie because she was just making up stuff. Also she is not outspoken.

  10. Miss Maudie sounds like an awesome women from this quote, because she defended radley and at the same time silenced stephanie. I think Miss Maudie is one of those people who can't stand when someone talks bad about someone. She also sounds like she is a respected member of the community, because of what scout said about her voice.

  11. Miss Maudie does not believe the rumors they say about Mr. Radley. She also dosent like people talking bad about him. I think Miss Maudie cares about Mr. Radley and dosent want anyone saying bad things about him.

  12. (Q) How bad was Miss Madudie's voice? Could really be that bad if it can make anyone quite? Would her voice be so loud that it can even torture people also?

  17. This passage describes Miss Maudie as a person that has a lot of confidence on herself and also that has strong opinions about others. I think Miss Maudie does not care about what people think about her or what she says, she just says what she thinks or feels about a certain situation which i think its good but sometimes you just need to keep it to yourself.

  20. I think this is trying to say like she is the type of person who does not keep stuff in her head she actually says what she thinks when she doesnt like something. She has a very strong character and voice. Stephanie was trying to be smart with her and she Miss maudie didnt like that so she decided to shut her up .

  21. Does Ms.Maudie have a really big attitude when she tells some one to shut up

  22. I think Miss Maudie is a respectful person and doesn't like how Mr Radley has changed since he was a child and how respectful he used to be to other people and maybe that's why she gets angry and that's why she decided to shut her up.

  23. I think that Miss Maudie is a person who isnt afraid of the devil itself because she says whatever its on her mind and she dosent care who hears or who dosent. She is a woman to be afraid of. She is a woman to be respected of. She is Miss Maudie.:D

  24. I think Ms. Maudie is very good with vocabulary because if she shut some one up with just words.

  25. Ms. Maude seems like an outspoken person and stands up for herself. Even though it was mean of her, she was just trying to prove something, I assume. It is okay to speak your mind, but somethings you should just keep to yourself.

  26. How come she shut up for a while? And like who would wake up in the middle of the night if you live by yourself? And why i Maudie voice enough to shut anyone up? Im guessing that she has a strong and clear voice that no one has anything else to say to her back.

  27. I think that Miss Maudie doesnt like hearing rumors and she hates when people make stuff up about Mr.Radley because she knows its not true

  28. Miss Maudie must not believe in rumors about Boo Radley. She probably respects him so much she might even tall others not to talk bad about him. She might also even like him to the point where she does not want to hear anyone say bad things of him.

  29. Ms. Maudie didn't like that Scout was telling her rumors about Mr. Radley that she said that only colored people and Stephanie Crawford said. Ms. Maudie seemed like that she liked Arthur Radley because she was defending him by what Stephanie Crawford said.

  30. I think that Ms.Maudie has as strong voice that if she wanted to she can make people just shut up. She is also clam most of the time on certain things. Like on this case she wasn't scare about what she heard of about Mr.Radley.

  31. Saying something that makes the other person may make the speaker feel smart and proud of themselves.For the listener,they may feel annoyed and mad because the speaker is trying to outsmart them. Miss Maudie probably has never gotten outsmart by anyone.

  32. miss Maudie seems like a lonely person because of what happened to her . maybe that's why she is pretty mean by making somebody to shut up with her voice .
