Now from a confident moment to an even more braver Mr. …show more content…
Finch, he was put up to shot the dog that had rabies, he was nervous since he hasn't shot in a long time but after he had done it, everyone surrounding him said "You haven't forgot much, Mr. Finch. They say it never leaves you...I saw that, One-Shot Finch!" (Lee 128).
Atticus hasn't shot in so many years and they depended on him to kill the dog, and so he did which then game everyone excitement and celebration. Atticus has had some history with shooting before which his kids didn't know about. Everyone else in the town will be talking about it and remembering all those past memories of Atticus. Moving on from celebration it's time for the most mature moment in the story, Jem has asked him about Mr. Ewell and now they are worried for him due to the fact that he said that he will get him really bad, but Atticus said in return that "If spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that's something I'll gladly take. He had to take it out on somebody and I'd rather it be me that that houseful of children out there." (Lee 218). Atticus wasn't afraid of what Mr. Ewell would have done to him if it wasn't only spitting on him and the way he just didn't go out of control on him. This should be taken into consideration because it shows how Atticus is more mature than Mr. Ewell who acts like a 5 year old child. In other places other people would have probably taken it to the route of punches. Everyone should think before doing something
because it can impact their future. Impact on your future can be great, but how about one with a challenge, in the movie 1,000 to 1 there was a scene where a guy that was diagnosed with a disease and at any time without knowing he would have a seizure and that would challenge him every day in his college life. He plays basketball and he has been the greatest player ever to enter that sport and it all came down to their last game, and due to his challenge he was only put to shoot the last free throws and he made them both. He had so much excitement to go up and make his first shots from a long time ago and also the courage that the stand and their opposing team showed probably took off much off his chest. Even though many people gave up on him just because of his disease there are others who actually are positive and never take any excuse. This is an example to today because everyone has those special people that will help them through anything no matter the situation.
