write down the line of text from this chapter that shows jem believes that he and scout are no better than anyone else in their town. once you’ve finished the chapter, go back and look at the portion that describes jem and scout’s snowman, which is covered with white snow on the outside, but has a core of dark mud. symbolically connect the snowman to either mr. avery or boo radley. how could the snowman be seen as a symbol for one of these men?
