Your Questions About Gardening

There are many quotes in the novel which “show the varying views on Atticus Finch.” Below are just a few that are worthy of your use.

CHAPTER 5:
_(Miss Maudie in a conversation with Scout) “Gracious child, I was raveling a thread, wasn’t even thinking about your father, but now that I am I’ll say this: Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets.”
CHAPTER 10:
_(Miss Maudie explaining to Scout why Atticus feels strongly about not shooting mockingbirds) “Your father’s right … 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.”

_(Miss Maudie telling Jem and Scout about the ability that Atticus has to shoot well) “Well now, Miss Jean Louise … Still think your father can’t do anything? Still ashamed of him? … Forgot to tell you the other day that besides playing the Jew’s Harp, Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time. … The very idea, didn’t you know his nickname was Ol‘ One-Shot when he was a boy? Why, down at the Landing when he was coming up, if he shot fifteen times and hit fourteen doves he’d complain about wasting ammunition.”

CHAPTER 11:
_(Mrs. Dubose insults Atticus as Scout and Jem pass her on the porch of her house): “Yes indeed, what has this world come to when a Finch [Atticus] goes against his raising? I’ll tell you! … Your father’s no better than the ni_ gers and trash he works for!”

CHAPTER 20:
_(Mr. Dolphus Raymond, during a conversation with Scout and Dill when Dill was upset about Mr. Kilmer’s trial tactics, gives his positive view of Atticus): “Miss Jean Louise, you don’t know your pa’s not a run-of-the-mill man, it’ll take a few years for that to sink in—you haven’t seen enough of the world yet. You haven’t even seen this town, but all you gotta do is step back inside the courthouse.”

CHAPTER 21:
_(Reverend Sykes expresses his view of Atticus after Atticus has heard the jury’s verdict against Tom Robinson and is leaving the court) “Miss Jean Louise? (Scout as narrator: “I looked around. They were standing. All around us and in the balcony on the opposite wall, the Ne_ groes were getting to their feet….”) … Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.”

CHAPTER 23:
_(Miss Stephanie Crawford, through Scout as narrator, describes an incident which makes clear Bob Ewell’s view of Atticus): “According to Miss Stephanie Crawford, however, Atticus was leaving the post office when Mr. Ewell approached him, cursed him, spat on him, and threatened to kill him. Miss Stephanie (who, by the time she had told it twice was there and had seen it all—passing by from the Jitney Jungle, she was)—Miss Stephanie said Atticus didn’t bat an eye, just took out his handkerchief and wiped his face and stood there and let Mr. Ewell call him names wild horses could not bring her to repeat. Mr. Ewell was a veteran of an obscure war; that plus Atticus’s peaceful reaction probably prompted him to inquire, ‘Too proud to fight, you ni_ ger-lovin‘ ba_s_tard?’ Miss Stephanie said Atticus said, ‘No, too old,’ put his hands in his pockets and strolled on. Miss Stephanie said you had to hand it to Atticus Finch, he could be right dry sometimes.”

CHAPTER 24:
_(Miss Maudie offers a view of Atticus to Aunt Alexandra when Alexandra learns of Tom’s death and expresses her concern about the way Maycomb has treated Atticus) “Have you ever thought of it this way, Alexandra? Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we’re paying the highest tribute we can pay a man [Atticus]. We trust him to do right. It’s that simple … The handful of people in this town who say that fair play is not marked W_hite Only; the handful of people who say a fair trial is for everybody, not just us; the handful of people with enough humility to think, when they look at a Ne_ gro, there but for the Lord’s kindness am l.”

Good luck!
