It is not just a single line from "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau that may have influenced John Lewis's beliefs, but probably most of the entire second half.

The line that influenced John Lewis was <em>“I think sometimes, Why, this people mean well; they are only ignorant; they would do better if they knew how: why give your neighbors this pain to treat you as they are not inclined to?”</em>

<em />

Henry David Thoreau advocated for civil disobedience, he wrote this essay when he was arrested for not paying a poll tax. John Lewis was a pacifist but he was heavily influenced by Thoreau ideas of disobedience of the population, but he did not agree with physical violence, instead, he said that civil disobedience should take place by “creative disruption” and “aggressive nonviolence”.

Why does raymond think that children like scout and dill can understand his secret better than adults?
Nady [450]
Mr. Raymond thinks this, because Scout and Dill have not yet been alive long enough to become corrupted and hateful. The adults in Maycomb have built up years of gossip and prejudices, but Raymond sees young children such as Scout and Dill as a type of clean slate, who can still be educated about the way others live, and can understand things differently than the others in town.
