Need help making a study guide for friends

I have all the literary terms except for connotation. I can't seem to find ANY examples of it in "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Can someone post what they got and what page it was found on?

Some suggestions could be
Candy
Hole in the Tree
School Dance
Stereotype of Black person[/quote]

I don't see the connotation of those things. Maybe the black person stereotype when someone said that black people are after a white lady because they are divine, and later scout finds out that it was a white man that's dating a black woman instead. But does that really count as a connotation. It feels more like irony.

@fradddBS: I just asked because I first encountered connotation in middle school. If he doesn't know what it is by the end of middle school then The school system he was raised in failed.
