Chapters 17-22

Taken from the essay When Children Discover America by Harper Lee:

"Younger children may not respond in words, but they will drink everything in with their eyes, and fill their minds with awareness and wonder. It's an experience they will enjoy and remember all their lives; and it will give them greater pride in their own country."

According to Urbandictionary.com a “creeper” can be defined as:

 Creeper 

·       A person who does weird things, like stares at you while you sleep, or looks at you for hours through a window. This person is usually a close friend or relative. You know right away if that person is a creeper or does creeper things. It is not hard to spot the creeper.

·       An offensively unimaginative word devised by tacky, brain-dead college students to describe people they deem sinister, indecorous, uncouth, or otherwise unpleasant.

·       Typically a nice guy, but is called a creep because girl's can be ruthless jerks

·       Someone who views your profile (multiple times) without saying anything.

·       Older men who hang out in college clubs and bars and stare at girls half their age and occasionally make obscene gestures and comments.

·       Usually an unsuspecting party-goer caught lurking (and staring at the camera) in the background of photographs.
