thing #1
thing #2

Explanation:

These questions refer to To Kill a Mockingbird:

1. For question 4, Scout uses sensory imagery to describe Maycomb. Example quotes include:

• Quote #1: "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square."
• Quote #2: "Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape."

1. For question 5, From Maycomb's small, close-knit, slow-paced description, we can infer the people are deeply set in traditional ways, gossipy (due to the small-town dynamic), and judgmental of those who don't follow social norms (like the Radleys).
2. For question 6, The Radleys deviate from Maycomb's social norms by:

• Thing #1: Refusing to attend church with the rest of the town (they worship at home)
• Thing #2: Not participating in local social events or town gatherings
• Thing #3: Keeping their doors and windows closed, avoiding contact with neighbors

Answer:

Quote #1: "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square."
Quote #2: "Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape."

5.
The people of Maycomb are deeply traditional, gossip-driven, and judgmental of anyone who breaks the town's unwritten social rules, as they are set in their slow, small-town ways and closely observe the actions of all residents.

Thing #1: They do not attend the town church

Thing #3: They avoid all contact with neighbors
