Here is what Atticus says:
"A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know -- doesn't say much for them, does it?"
"So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it?" ... "That proves something-- that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human."
Atticus tells the mob that they can do whatever they want to him, but they must leave Tom Robinson alone because he believes in defending the innocent and upholding justice regardless of the circumstances. Through this action, Atticus demonstrates his unwavering commitment to his principles even in the face of danger.
"I wish Bob Ewell wouldn't chew tobacco..."
Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it is a sin To Kill a Mockingbird
no this is not right
to kill a mockingbird is a sin. all they do is make sweet music for people to enjoy.
Scout tells the mob in chapter 15 of "To Kill a Mockingbird" to leave Atticus alone. She recognizes Mr. Cunningham in the crowd and starts speaking to him about his son, which helps diffuse the tense situation and ultimately leads the mob to disperse.
Atticus says this famous line in Chapter 10 of "To Kill a Mockingbird." He uses this metaphor to teach Scout and Jem about the importance of empathy and protecting the innocent.
They say its a "Sin" To Kill a Mockingbird because they don't do anything much to harm us or anything we do, and they make peaceful music for them also.
Atticus tells Scout that a mob is made up of individuals, and individuals must be held accountable for their actions. He emphasizes the importance of upholding individual responsibility and not succumbing to group mentality. Atticus believes in the power of one person to make a difference and stand up for what is right, even in the face of a mob.
Atticus delivers his closing argument in Chapter 20 of the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'
In Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," Atticus Finch tells his children that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because they don't harm anyone and only bring joy with their songs. This statement alludes to the idea of innocence and the unjust persecution of those who are harmless.
Well Atticus does say "It is a sin too kill a mocking bird."And at the end scout said it too.
Here is a quote by Miss Maudie Atkinson from To Kill a Mockingbird, which defines a "mockingbird" quite well:"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Reading this you could say, figuratively, Atticus was indeed a mockingbird.
I guess that they felt compassion for her since it takes such a small yet smart child, to actually stop adults that act more childish than children themselves. That's what I think...not really sure.
No, Atticus does not say that kissing Tom was a crime. In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Tom Robinson is wrongfully accused of raping Mayella Ewell, not of kissing her. Atticus defends Tom in court against the false charges.
