Scholars carry out a close read of the poem "Those Winter Sundays" to determine its point. They look at the words used and the structure of the stanzas and then compare the poem's narrative structure to chapter 6 of To Kill a Mockingbird. For homework, readers find examples of the Golden Rule in chapter 8 of To Kill a Mockingbird.
