Secondly, as it is stated in chapter nine of To Kill a Mockingbird. “Hold your head high and your fists down”.

When faced with trials in life, he or she should keep persevering towards the goal other than getting mad. Let alone, those who suffer should keep their heads high other than letting anger control

    Atticus represents a protective shield between society and those that are defenseless because he abides by this belief by standing up for what is right, even though he is alone, and he gives the Negro citizens hope for equality. His accepting and fair attitude also contributes to his confidence and perseverance to continue to defend Tom Robinson.
