question 5
read the excerpt below and answer the question that follows:

i pulled out two small images carved in soap. one was the figure of a boy, the other wore a crude dress. before i remembered that there was no such thing as hoo-dooing, i shrieked and threw them down. jem snatched them up. “what’s the matter with you? ” he yelled. he rubbed the
figures free of red dust.

“these are good,” he said. “i’ve never seen any these
good.”

he held them down to me. they were almost perfect miniatures of two children. the boy had on shorts, and a shock of soapy hair fell to his eyebrows. i looked up at jem. a point of straight brown hair kicked downwards from his part. i had never noticed it before. jem looked from the girl-doll to me. the girl-doll wore bangs. so did i.

“these are us,” he said . .

less than two weeks later we found a whole package of chewing gum, which we enjoyed, the fact that everything on the radley place was poison having slipped jem’s memory. the following week the knot-hole yielded a tarnished medal. jem showed it to atticus, who said it was a spelling medal, that before we were born the maycomb county schools had spelling contests and awarded medals to the winners. atticus said someone must have lost it, and had we asked around? jem camel-kicked me when i tried to say where we had found it. jem asked atticus if he remembered anybody who ever won one, and atticus said no.

our biggest prize appeared four days later. it was a pocket watch that wouldn’t run, on a chain with an aluminum knife.
