Monologue From To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee
Oh my lord! Someone has destroyed my flowers! I bet they did it with this baton. I don’t know anyone who has a baton. I bet it was those darned Finch kids! They’re always causing trouble, their daddy don’t teach ‘em right! You bet your buns I’m tellin’ Atticus when I see him come ‘round the corner! Those kids are gonna hear it from me! I know what I’ll do… I’ll make them kids read to me for a few hours after school every day for a month! Ha! That’ll show him! And I’ll make them tend to my poor, poor flowers. Who do they think they are walkin’ ‘round damaging people's property? Little tyrants… they need a mother in their life to show them right from wrong, not some black maid.

    Atticus Quotes In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Atticus is criticized openly in the society where the book takes place (Maycomb) because of his understandings. Atticus had made the connection that Mayella could have been beaten by her father instead of being beaten by Tom. He made this connection by saying that Mayella was hit on her right eye and it would make more sense for the person the person who attacked her was left handed. This shows that Mayella's dad could have beat her because he is left handed and Tom is right handed. “The right side, Mr. Finch, but she had more bruises—you wanta hear about ‘em?” He is criticized because people believed that he had crossed the line and had no right to say that. Atticus is also criticized with the fact that he believes Tom could have not beat…

    What Is An Example Of Tom Robinson's Dialectical Journal

    As I replaced my corset, I could hear those mindless little birds jabbering on about how Tom Robinson was going to get what he deserved. Ha. For my brother is not a fool and he would not defend a Negro as forcefully as he did if that Negro was not one-hundred percent innocent. But, I plastered a smile on my face, went out to face the world as a strong and proud and proper woman of the 20th century. But, I felt like falling to the floor and eating all of the tea cakes I was carrying while I cried. The Finches were ruined, not only was it bad enough that Atticus was defending a Negro but that we lost was an even bigger blow to his dignity, our dignity.…

From that day forward, I vowed that I would one day teach my children the wise words that Atticus Finch had taught me when I was a child. Seventeen years have passed since that day.…

    Atticus Monologue

    We ran across the square until we were hidden from view. Why the heck was Atticus was hangin’ ‘round the jailhouse this time at night? Only thing ‘round here at this time were the niggers. But, I was proven wrong when shadowy silhouettes got out of cars in pairs and walked purposely towards Atticus. From our vantage point, the men blocked Atticus from view and they spoke so softly that I could barely hear them. Something… something about this situation was just… fishy. Yeah, that’s the word.…
