To Kill A Mockingbird - Atticus Flashcards
Courage
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.”
“when you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway”
“an’ it looked like the gun was part of him… an’ he did it so quick”
Racial Prejudice
Scout: “You aren’t really a n*****-lover, then, are you?” Atticus: “I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody…”.
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy… that is why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird”.
Message
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
“before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself.”
“Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
