“You’ll never leave” is carved faintly into the brick wall of the small jail cell, probably from its last guest. Every day, I started to believe the phrase more and more. I lay on the uncomfortable cot, pretending to be asleep. I’m lonely, but I’m not alone. I can hear him breathing and slowly flipping the pages of the newspaper; I assume it’s…

Atticus was a whole different person before “‘. . . Atticus Finch was the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time’” (Lee 112). When Miss Maudie tells Scout and Jem that Atticus used to be the best shot, neither of them could believe it. Their father, probably the most level headed and humble person they ever met had hidden part of his past “Nevertheless, he refuses to use his background as an excuse to hold himself above others and instead is a model of tolerance and understanding” (“To Kill a Mockingbird”).…
Speakers Evoking Empathy Have you ever wondered how a speaker awakens feelings of empathy in the reader? Both the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and the Statement on the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. given by Robert F. Kennedy use rhetorical devices to reach out to their audience in a certain way. They have a goal. Harper Lee’s character Atticus and Robert F. Kennedy both evoke empathy in their audience to either generate understanding or inspire action with the use of logos or ethos, respectively. Atticus evokes empathy in the audience with the use of logos.…

I couldn’t hold up my head in town, I couldn’t represent this county in the legislature, I couldn’t even tell you or Jem not to do something again. ’’ said Atticus. (Lee, 76) This Shows us how deep of a thinker Atticus is and how he teaches his kids values and how to do things right. [When] you and Jem are grown, maybe you'll look back on this with some compassion and some feeling that I didn't let you down.…
Voicing unpopular ideas is the key to making a difference in the world. I feel this way because if you don’t express what you think is wrong or what you think can be improved in the world, how can your concerns be addressed? I firmly believe that to change the world with your ideas. We need to express them, not just complain about them to your parents, but to people who have the power to change the world. There are ten amendments in the constitution.…
To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic novel well known for its beloved characters and deep explanation of racism. As the story comes to a close, Atticus says the line “Most people are nice, Scout, when you finally see them.” This quote is a great reflection of the theme of the novel because it explains the importance of knowing someone, despite the preconceived ideas and stereotypes so often created by society. The theme of the book is becomes obvious when Atticus is to defend Tom Robinson.…

Atticus perseveres through his problems and acts upon his role in society, to do what is right. He explains to Scout that “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win…” (76) Atticus is a remarkable man because he defends Tom Robinson in the case even though he knows that in society at the time, when it’s a black man’s word against a white man’s, the white man always wins. He represents a light in a time of darkness because even when most people neglect to defend what is morally correct, he fights for the Negro citizens and tolerates the insults and shame he continually faces. When Scout talks about a book that Atticus read to her, she tells him about a misunderstood character who “was real nice” and didn’t do anything wrong even if people thought he did and Atticus tell her that “Most people are…when you finally see them.” (281) Atticus refers to Boo Radley because while he knew about Boo and respected him staying in the house all the time, most people assumed the worst and let their ignorance interfere with the truth.…
Atticus always tries to provide his kids with the correct answer and alway give them a wise answer for anything they need. Atticus does what right even when he knows the wrong is going to happen in the end. That 's why he takes Tom case and fights for his equal rights all the way to the end of his life. He thinks that each and every person should be seen equally that why when someone calls you a nigger lover, in his mind that person it just misguided. It does not hurt him he really just feels sorry for these kinds of people because that can 't realize the simple act of being equal and kind.…
