In Chapter Two of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, shame influences the actions of three key characters, but none more so than in the case of Walter Cunningham. When offered 25¢ by Miss Caroline, the teacher, he refuses to accept her generosity. Walter continues to refuse his teacher’s offer, offering up no explanation. His actions come from the shame of admitting his family’s financial situation to an outsider.

Harry,
You have shown insight into character and explored the theme of shame with some success.
Target:
Look at Sky’s chapter enquiry http://s2ky.student.edutronic.net/2015/01/08/what-happens-if-you-break-social-contracts-080115/
This shows a very subtle form of analysis and I would advocate you exploring how you can write to this standard.
