To Kill a Mockingbird

Scout learns from her father Atticus to be respectful to others like Mrs. Dubose, and to always make sure you walk around in someone else's skin before making assumptions about their life and judging them. Also, Mr. Finch took the Tom Robinson case even though he knew that he would loose the case just because he knew that it was the right thing to do. Jem taught Scout how to be brave and strong even in tough situations. For example, Jem was a role model for Scout while bad rumors were going around about their father for taking the Tom Robinson case. He did not show any anger towards the people who were taunting him and Scout, and was ultimately the reason that Scout stopped fighting the people who said the horrible things about her family. Calpurnia taught Scout how to be a proper lady, and so did her aunt.

As the tree grows, the knot hole can become covered up by new growth or get pushed out over time. The wood around the knot hole may also continue to grow and expand, filling in the space where the knot hole used to be.

The townspeople are worried about having Tom Robinson in the jail. Atticus takes the extension cord and a light bulb and sits outside the jail and reads while waiting for the mob to show up, which they do.

some predators include snakes, owls and hawks.
Any bird of prey such as an owl or hawk would eat a mockingbird. Falcons also would, especially a Merlin or kestrel. And I have even seen a Loggerhead Shrike eat a mockingbird. House cats, dogs, raccoons, and snakes would also gladly eat mockingbirds.

In the book "To Kill a Mockingbird," Francis describes Atticus as a "Stray dog." He uses this term as an insult to show his disdain for Atticus' defense of Tom Robinson, and to suggest that Atticus is going against his own family by doing so.

Dr. Reynolds spoke to boo cordially, calling him by his name Arthur, as though he knew him. I don't remember an encounter between Aunt Alexandra and boo, but her teaching Scout to behave like a lady under all circumstances caused her (Scout) to invite him (boo) to sit with her and then took him to see Jem.

Not that she has that many lines from which to deduce her philosophy, but her line "When beggars die, there are no comets seen; the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." does support the concept that nature supports a social structure with the princes at the top and the beggars further down.

There are probably some critics of the book's message who would see it as propaganda, but most people do not: in fact, many scholars see it as a classic literary work. But in 1960, when this book came out, America was still suffering from the results of segregation, and a book that addressed the subject of racial inequality was considered controversial, especially because it was supposed to be a book for young people. Still, the majority of critics praised it, and the public embraced it-- the book became a best-seller.

What seemed to most upset the book's critics was this: they felt it used stereotypes and made lower-class white southerners into villains; some critics also felt the book used language that was vulgar. However, most critics did not share this view, and the book's supporters regarding it as an honest and thought-provoking look at prejudice. So, depending on which side you were on at the time, you either saw the book as a courageous look at the need for racial justice, or you saw it as just more anti-Southern propaganda.

Walter Cunningham almost died when Atticus Finch, a lawyer, defended him during a mob scene in "To Kill a Mockingbird." A group of men wanted to take the law into their own hands and harm him, but Scout, the daughter of Atticus, intervened and diffused the situation.

Aunt Alexandra is most preoccupied with the Finch family's reputation and how they are perceived by the community. She is concerned with upholding social status and adhering to traditional Southern values and expectations.

Eula May was a professional hairdresser and beautician who worked at the Piggly Wiggly supermarket in the TV show "The Andy Griffith Show." She was known for her flamboyant personality and unique sense of style.

Judge Taylor does not hold Mayella in contempt of court because she is considered a victim in the trial, not a perpetrator. Mayella Ewell is seen as a vulnerable young girl who has been taken advantage of by her father, Bob Ewell, and is not seen as culpable for her actions.

The knife was in Bob Ewell's chest when he died during the struggle with Boo Radley in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." Boo Radley had come to the defense of Scout and Jem when they were attacked by Bob Ewell, resulting in Ewell's fatal injuries.

Atticus makes Bob Ewell write his name in Chapter 17 of "To Kill a Mockingbird". This confrontation occurs during Tom Robinson's trial when Atticus challenges Bob Ewell to write his name to prove that he is left-handed.
