Process I hope you all will  review and analyze the supplied resources and determine how the changes, in the past seven decades, have affected gender and racial issues  within the Southern United States' history, as they pertain to the novel To Kill A Mockingbird.  In groups of four you should examine the following quotations: 1.  "Things haven't caught up with that one's instinct yet. Let him get a little older, and he won't get sick and cry. Maybe things'll strike him as being - not quite right, say, but he won't cry, not when he gets a few years in him." 2.  "Cry about what, Mr Raymond?" Dill's maleness was beginning to assert itself. 3.  "Cry about the simple hell people give other people - without even thinking. Cry about the hell white people give coloured folks, without even stopping to think that they're people, too." -- Mr. Raymond and Dill 4.  'It's not necessary to tell all you know. It's not ladylike - in the second place, folks don't like to have somebody around knowin' more than they do. It aggravates 'em. You're not gonna change any of them by talkin' right, they've got to want to learn themselves, and when they don't want to learn there's nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language.'   --Calpurnia 5.  " I swear, Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl it�s mortifying,"  --Jem (38). 6.  Miss Stephanie: "Watcha going to be when your grow up, Jean Loise? A lawyer? Scout/Lee: Hurriedly I began choosing my vocation, Nurse? Aviator? "Well..." Miss Stephanie: "Why shoot, I thought you wanted to be a lawyer, you've already commenced going to court.  Don't you want to grow up to be a lawyer? Scout: Nome, just a lady. Miss Stephanie: Well, you won't get very far until you start wearing dresses more often.   While conducting the colloquy, consider the following questions: How is the role of the masculine implied in the above character quotes? How has this role changed evolved from the 1930s setting of the novel to the 1960s, when the novel was written? How has the masculine role changed concerning behavior, occupation, and psychologically.  i.e. are there more male nurses, secondary education teacher, etc.?   How is the role of the feminine implied in the above character quotes?
