Atticus Dialectical Journal
I feel that this quote is very important and essentially what the whole books is about. I interpreted that quote as saying that it is a sin or wrongdoing to kill the innocent. However, I only understood what Atticus was saying after Scouts conversation with Mrs. Maudie later in the chapter. Furthermore, to me this quote seems like it is foreshadowing an important even that is later going to happen in the book. Lastly, this quote also tells you a bit about Atticus’s personality and morals. It shows that Atticus does not believe in ever killing that innocent which ties into the current court case he is fighting. (108 words)

To me this quote shows how even Atticus’s family is judgmental toward the court cases he is currently defending. It is

    Boo Radley Dialectical Journal

    During the fire at Miss Maudie’s house, Scout and Jem, unknowingly, was given a blanket to keep warm. When the Finches plus Miss Maudie return to their home, Scout asks who she should thank for the blanket. Jem proceeded to answer that it was most likely Boo Radley’s doing. This starts a confliction between Scout and her beliefs. Scout has always thought of Boo Radley through the mind of a child, a story that stole her attention. But when she witnessed Boo Radley doing something kind and thoughtful, she found herself shocked and unbelieving. “My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up when Jem held out the blanket and crept toward me.” (Lee 96). At this moment, Scout realized how real and human Boo Radley and altered her view of the man.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Dialectical Journal Analysis

    In the letter from Scout to Jem, we see Scout's’ point of view and how she feels. It shows that she is sad that Boo gave them so much and they did not give him anything in return like a good neighbor should have. To convey this, a flowery background symbolizes a neighbor's job to look after one another and the items in the pouch exhibits what Scout and Jem were given I feel that this establishes a feeling of growing maturity because the flowery background also symbolizes the growth of a young girl at the stage of coming of age experiences were a young bud becomes a flower not yet too old to shine like glitter which reveals that pouch holding items is like the pouch of a mother kangaroo because they hold their young in that pouch and Boo cares…

That maybe he had just felt disappointed about the religion or something and therefore he would drink a lot.…

    It's A Sin To Kill A Mockingbird Analysis

    Atticus says, “It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird,” to Jem in Chapter Ten of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee after Uncle Jack instructs both Jem and Scout on the principles of using their air rifles. Miss Maudie also tells Scout, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing…” From both statements, the reader may infer that Atticus desires his children to treat any innocent living being, possibly humans in specific, with respect, and wrongdoings occur when behaving oppositely. As the novel and Atticus’ case with Tom Robinson progresses, the idea above may develop into the main theme as the people of Maycomb County treat Atticus, Scout, Jem, and others wrongly simply due to the racism and discrimination that occurred in a segregated atmosphere. Also, several…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Integrity Analysis

    Atticus's sense of integrity is constructed from his morals of truth and justice rather from prejudice and bigotry. Atticus, no matter what stands in his way, follows his individually moral sense of integrity. In Atticus's final argument, he said, "I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts, and in the jury system- that is no ideal to me, it is a living working reality..In the name of God, do your duty. " Atticus is saying that the justice of the court will only prevail if the jury member's individual sense of integrity is maintained; unbiased, and unprejudiced. He is attempting to make clear the great injustice prejudice is doing. Unfortunately, the jury's Christian need to justify their immoral sense of integrity is far stronger than justice is. Atticus's sense of integrity unites mankind. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus unites the black community with his…

    How Does Atticus Make Decisions

    As made evident, it does make sense for Atticus to take a stand and defend Tom Robinson because of his belief in upholding and embodying the ethical precepts of the Golden Rule, understanding that his actions must reflect this in all aspects of his life, and his courage and integrity allowed him to set an example for his children, who looked upon his actions as a quintessence of an ethical person, both as their father and as a lawyer. Exemplified in the narrative that rivets itself on the choices we must all make in our lives, we as humans have the power to make decisions can advance and contribute to our society, and ones that can tarnish and impede its progress. Atticus proves that even when the odds are stacked against us, we must still make the choice that we believe is righteous, regardless of how difficult it may be. His actions, and the implications of his decisions, prove how choices motivated by morals and values can not only change the world around us, but reflect the type of person we really.…
