| 1) A1-Given. Jem is Scout’s brother. Put Jem in B3
2) There were 4 people who testified, but only one is female, Mayella. Since the corners are all testifiers and row 1 is female, Mayella must be in D1.
3) Mayella’s father is Bob Ewell who must be in the opposite corner, A4.
4) Since Bob is not adjacent to any black people but there are two in his row, C4 and D4 must both contain an African American. There are only 2 main African-American characters/African-Americans who make the sparknotes character list: Calpurnia and Tom Robinson. Since Tom testified he must be in D4 putting Calpurnia in C4.
5) Based on Tom’s clue: the last person in row 4 must be a member of jury. The only main character/sparknotes character to be on the jury is Walter Cunningham.
6) Based on Calpurnia’s clue you know that Mayella is adjacent to a dead person. Three people die in the book: Bob Ewell, Tom Robinson, and Mrs. Dubose. Since she is clearly not adjacent to Bob or Tom, she must be adjacent to Mrs. Dubose. From Jem’s clue you know that there are only 5 women and 4 are in row 1. Since Calpurnia is in row 4, all other women must be in row 1. Thus, Mrs. Dubose must be in C1.
7) From Mrs. Dubose’s clue you know that she is not adjacent to her lawyer, Atticus Finch, or any other of his relatives. The only six possible women are in the instructions and of the two remaining, only Miss Maudie is not related to Atticus. This she is in B1.
8) Miss Maudie’s clue tells you that Atticus is adjacent to both his children: Scout and Jem. Thus, he must be in A2 or B2. Since he can’t be adjacent to Mrs. Dubose, he must be in A2.
9) Atticus’s clue refers to 2 men. The man who saved Jem’s life is Boo and the man who decided to lie about it is Heck Tate. Based on this clue, they must be in A3 and B2. Walter’s clue tells you that Bob is adjacent to people at the trial which means that Heck must be in A3 and Boo must be in B2.
10) Heck’s clue tells you that there are 2 children in his row. The only child left that |
