        <description><![CDATA[In real life it is advisable to try and sympathise with any person you are dealing with. This what Atticus describes as "walking in other person's shoes" in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird". However while reading a novel, I feel no such compulsion. I am free to empathise with any character that appeals to me, and in case of the courtroom action this character is Atticus. I find him very impressive, and a person I would like to emulate.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that attitudes towards racism have mellowed down considerably since the time of writing of To Kill a Mockingbird in 1930's. The fact that this novel which remained unpublished till for a long time was an indication of the racial prejudices existing in the USA. At the same time it's final publication in 1960 and it huge popularity after publication is a testimony to considerable reduction in racial prejudices. In nearly fifty...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The passages that you are looking for are going to be found in chapter 12, right in the middle of the chapter.  Calpurnia ends up taking Scout and Jem to her church, because Atticus is out of town.  She doesn't trust them to go to their own church unsupervised; the last time that they did that, Jem caused a ruckus by convincing a little girl that if she touched the radiators "she wouldn't get burnt if she had enough faith."  So, to Cal's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It means no matter how well Atticus defended Tom Robinson in the trial, he would still lose the case whatsoever. It was because of the prejudice that the whites have on the blacks. They were bias towards their own races and would not allow the blacks to have any chance of success. But, Atticus try to win fate over by defending Tom Robinson, who was a black and turn over the case which he know that he had no hope to achieve success]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Atticus
 
As one of the most prominent citizens in Maycomb during the Great Depression, Atticus is relatively well off in a time of widespread poverty. Because of his penetrating intelligence, calm wisdom, and exemplary behavior, Atticus is respected by everyone, including the very poor. He functions as the moral backbone of Maycomb, a person to whom others turn in times of doubt and trouble. But the conscience that makes him so admirable...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[She is intelligent and, by the standards of her time and place, a tomboy. Scout has a combative streak and a basic faith in the goodness of the people in her community.
and over the period of time she developes:
Scout eventually develops a more grown-up perspective that enables her to appreciate human goodness without ignoring human evil.
and
Scout is a very unusual little girl, both in her own qualities and in her social position. She is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[1.  She is quick to anger, and to fight.  The very first sentence states how she "was rubbing [Walter Cunningham's] nose in the dirt," as payment for his mere existence causing him trouble with Miss Caroline, her teacher.  We see this over and over throughout the book, how she is eager to fight, defend, and prove her points through anger.
2.  She is tactless.  This means that she says whatever comes into her head, whether it is kind,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "To Kill a Mockingbird,"  Boo Radley, who has been a recluse for the last fifteen years, captures the imagination of the children. In Chapter 5, Jem and Dill attempt to send a message to Boo by tying it to a fishing pole, then casting it toward his window.  However, Atticus catches them and they are forbidden to go to the Radley place without being invited. But, in Chapter 6, on a dare Jem and Dill decide to peep into the Raley's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The trait of courage is one that moves from physical bravery to fortitude of the soul in "To Kill a Mockingbird." In the second chapter, Scout is brave enough to stand up and inform Miss Caroline that her approach to the Cunninghams is wrong, and the children witness Jem's being brave enough to take the dare to go into the Radley's yard. When the children watch Atticus shoot the mad dog, they realize that their father has the physical...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the many strengths of this novel is the number of minor characters who are brought into the story. Harper Lee creates the whole of Maycomb county through these people and their distinct personalities. The Cunninghams are introduced in Chapter 2, and they reappear several times in the story, most dramatically in regard to Tom Robinson's imprisonment, trial, and conviction.
The Cunninghams are introduced to us in the person of Walter,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Primarily, Mr. Raymond refers to the integrity of Atticus Finch, who despite the "disease of Maycomb," its racial prejudice, accepts the assignment of defending Tom Robinson against the accusations of a white woman.  He does this knowing that he will be personally subjected to ridicule while realizing that his children will be subject to insults and ridicule, as well.
In all his actions, Atticus displays a sterling character.  Even though...]]></description>
