The fish died, because, using context clues, the word mournfully is usually associated with death or someone/ something leaving, and since a fish couldn't swim away, we would have to believe that the fish has died.
YES! The current schedule messes with teens sleep patterns. Teens get tired at 11pm. So if 1st period starts at 7am thats not enough sleep. Yet younger kids, (more awake in mornings) have later start times.
Let me start from the beginning - just a little bit, basically Mr. Ewell was angry at Atticus for what he'd said at trial about his daughter - that in the end he decided to attack Jem and Scout in the woods.
BUT, Jem heroically got Scout out of the way - risking his own life. To make matters worse, though, poor Jem did end up with a broken arm.
I hope all is well and you pass! (: Good luck, rockstar! If you have any follow up questions, let me know! This book is still fairly fresh in my mind! (:
