How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Atticus drew the line at having someone feed him, and Dr. Finch solved the problem by jamming the handles of a fork, knife, and spoon into the ends of big wooden spools. (12.26)
Seeing Atticus struggle with eating makes us wonder: Is he a principled man or is he a prideful man? What is the difference between the two?
Quote #5
Not long ago, Atticus would have done it simply from his goodness, he would have done it for Cal. (12.88)
Is Jean Louise correct here? She thinks she understands what drives her father's moral compass, but she may have been wrong all along.
Quote #6
I was taught never to take advantage of anyone who was less fortunate than myself, whether he be less fortunate in brains, wealth, or social position; it meant anybody, not just Negroes. (13.111)
Was Jean Louise taught these principles, or did she learn them? Unfortunately, this book doesn't tell us. But if we use To Kill a Mockingbird as a companion, what does that text show us? What lessons does Atticus actively give his daughter? And which does she learn from observation?
