Addressed a Question in "To Kill a Mockingbird" How do the townspeople treat Atticus Finch?

English

Juliette [100K]3 years ago

Answer:

They respected him. To them, he was an intelligent, morally upright man who represents what a true Christian should be, unaffected by others' opinions.

Explanation:

In Harper Lee's novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", Atticus Finch epitomizes the true personification of what a man should be. He was respected by all, even his own children. He was a lawyer but still unswayed by the opinions of others. He has also been continuously elected in the state legislature, unopposed. This shows just how much respected and truthful he must have been in the community. The cartoon image of Atticus in the newspaper gives the perfect portrait of Atticus, "chained to the desk" with white girls trying to distract him. But he still remained focused only on his work. This shows how devoted he is to his work and a respected person.

But once the case of the black man Tom Robinson sexually assaulting Mayella Ewell, a white girl started, his image changed for the person. He took the role of the lawyer, defending Tom against the false accusation. This made the townspeople question his actions. For them, since Tom was black, he is guilty. The issue of racism is still prevalent during those times so they are still swayed by the popular belief that whatever the issue is involving a colored person, then he's guilty. They started saying things to not only Atticus but even the children. They couldn't understand why he was representing a black man, trying to prove the innocence of a black man in a white majority community.

But after the trial and verdict, the townspeople brought food for them. This is a symbol of showing their respect for the man trying his best to prove the innocence of a man, even though he fails. His work ethics and commitment to the cause of injustice, even if he ends up being hated, shows him as  a person of great character and respect.

<span>Nye describes her experience being comforted by her mother when she was sick. Her mother told her she was not dying as long as she still had the strength to make a fist. Nye then writes that she is still comforted by this thought.</span>
<span>
The poem has several devices such as:

</span>Allusion it can be applied because it refers to a past historical event.<span>
</span><span>Imagery because it describes in detail the palm trees. Among other things. 

The tone </span>is nostalgic because she is looking back on she was traveling but she also uses a tone of pride because she survived the journey and she can still make her hand into a fist .

Write an essay in the form of a personal letter
Ghella [55]
One evening, while I was working outside in my yard, my neighbor came over. We weren’t really friends, but we had always spoken whenever we saw each other. Once, when my car wouldn’t start, he offered to drop me at the office. That night, though, he invited my wife and me to his church the following Sunday. His pastor had just begun speaking on what the Bible said about being an influential man. I wanted to be a man of influence. As the pastor spoke that morning, I knew that the influence and success I had achieved could never be enough. I understood that I was a sinner and could never pay the price of being “good enough” to deserve heaven. The only thing that really mattered was Jesus Christ and His death on the cross for MY sin. When he gave the invitation for us to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, I knew that I needed to be saved, to accept Jesus and that His work was sufficient to assure me of God’s love for me and a place in heaven. I realized it was not enough to just know about Jesus, but that I needed to know Him, personally. I did accept Jesus Christ that Sunday and placed all of my faith in Him and His work on the cross and was baptized. I will always be grateful to my neighbor who invited me to attend church with him.
