a mockingbird
Mockingbirds. "They don't do one thing, but sing their heart out for us. That's why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Atticus mentioned this sentence in the 1st part of the book. He was teaching Jem to shoot with an air gun. After Jem learned how to use the gun, he tried to train by shooting birds. It was his initial decision and he requested for Atticus' permission to do so.At this moment, Atticus said that Jem could shoot all the bluejays that he wanted, but reminded him not to shoot any mockingbirds. He said that "it was a sin to kill a mockingbird," and his reason was that "Mockingbirds do not a thing but sing their hearts out for us, so it a sin to kill a mockingbird."Atticus
Because back when Atticus was a kid, he was known as "Ol' One-shot Finch" (Lee 129). People called Atticus that because he has the deadest shot when handling a gun. Mr. Tate didn't shoot the dog himself because he can't shoot as well as Atticus can. Shooting Tim Johnson (the dog) was a one-shot thing.
Atticus and Aunt Alexandra disagree about how to raise Scout. Aunt Alexandra believes in instilling traditional femininity and social status in Scout, while Atticus believes in teaching her to be independent and compassionate.
The last thing Tom Robinson said to Atticus in "To Kill a Mockingbird" was, "Goodnight, sir." This was in response to Atticus thanking him after the trial.
Atticus teaches his children to have empathy and understanding for others, yet he acts differently towards their neighbor, Boo Radley, by not considering things from Boo's perspective. This can be seen as a form of hypocrisy, as he preaches one thing to his children but doesn't fully practice it himself in this instance.
RL Stine is a children's Goosebumbs author. He did not do such a thing. Check facts before spreading rumors.
Atticus Finch did many brave thing. But one of the main thing he did was defend a Negroe by the name of Tom Robinson for a crime he did not commit. Even though Atticus knew he had no chance of winning the case, (since the town was compromised mostly of white peoples) he still went ahead and did the right thing. That is the true definition of bravery.
The unpleasant jobs she was speaking of were those tasks that are the right thing to do because they are the right thing. These things need doing regardless of time or local custom. Here Atticus was defending a black man accused of rape and that sort of thing was a frowned upon thing to do at the time and threatened the status and even life of Atticus. Since it was the right thing to do Atticus had to do the right thing.
In Chapter 10 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Atticus shoots a rabid dog, Tim Johnson, in one shot despite not having fired a gun in years. Scout and Jem are shocked because they had no idea their father was such a skilled marksman, as Atticus had never talked about his shooting abilities before. This event reveals a hidden side of Atticus that surprises his children.
Atticus saying the same thing as Mr. Raymond shows that he is empathetic and understanding towards the perspective of others. This display of empathy could potentially change the town's view of Atticus, as they may come to see him as someone who is open-minded and willing to listen to different viewpoints.
He says the worst thing you can do is cheat a black man out of money, it's twenty times worse because you're taking advantage out his ignorance because back then Africans weren't educated. Atticus said that no matter how high you family was or how rich you are, once you did that you were trash, plain and simple.
