        <description><![CDATA[Arthur Radley exists in their environment as a ghost (or a &quot;haint&quot;, to use regional colloquialism).  His presence is felt, but never seen.  He is the source of &quot;ghost stories,&quot; such as stabbing his father in the leg with the scissors.  He wanders just outside of the peripheral vision until the end.  Despite Atticus's insistence that they call him &quot;Mr. Radley,&quot; and give him the respect an adult in the community...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Boo is meant to be a scary, mysterious character in the children's lives.  Therefore he has been named by the people around him who are unsure of just how crazy or scary Arthur Radley is.  Boo's name represents the town's fear of all things unknown.  The Ewells' desperation in accusing Tom Robinson of rape can be interpreted as another aspect of the fear assigned to the significance of Boo's name.  You'll notice whenever Jem or Scout or...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This nickname is never really explained to the reader, though one could imagine it is a result of his reputation.  The summary found here on enotes states that &quot;Boo is rumored to wander the neighborhood at night&quot;, much like a ghost which could explain the nickname.  Furthermore, the dark acts which he was rumored to have committed, such as stabbing his father in the leg with scissors, eating animals, and causing all kinds of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Mayella does evade the question, suggesting that her father does &quot;tollable&quot; if he isn't drinking. Mayella is considered the &quot;woman&quot; of the house in that she must take care of the other children, clean, and cook. She hasn't had a childhood of her own, and there's no doubt that Bob beats her when he's drinking. We don't know what other horrors she must endure at her father's hand. There's no way that Mayella loves her father,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Scout teaches us a bit about Maycomb's social ladder.  She tries to explain to Miss Caroline about how the Cunninghams won't take anything they can't pay back.  She also tries to explain the tradition of the Ewells only coming to school on the first day.  Scout gives us a glimpse into two of the families that become very important in the rest of the book.

We also learn that the school Scout attends is a bit hypocritical.  Scout is punished...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are many answer to this question. The overriding theme is that Atticus does what has to be done when it has to be done, whether or not it's easy.   I'll list several examples below.

1.  Obviously, taking the Tom Robinson trial is an example of doing what's right, even though it's difficult.
2.  Atticus is nice or civil to everyone, including Mrs. Dubose and Mr. Ewell.
3.  Atticus does his best to instill this value into his children,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't have my Mockingbird book with me, but the title of the book is referenced in a chapter right after Jem and Scout receive their guns from Uncle Jack for Christmas. They are out shooting and talking to Miss Maudie, and informs her that Atticus said they could shoot anything but mockingbird. Miss Maudie explains that mockingbirds do nothing but make beautiful music for people to listen to. They don't cause problems for people, so there is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Scout tells the reader of the Finch family history in Maycomb County, going way back to the Civil War. The Finch family has a long-standing name in the area, and this can be seen when Aunt Alexandra is so insistent that the children "keep up" the family name. Atticus is more open minded, allowing people to be accepted for what or who they are. He is a single father, doing his best to raise his children--he believes in fairness and wants to...]]></description>
