Answer:

   Atticus was brought up to be racist. He was surrounded by racism from an early age and was taught that black people are somehow inferior to white people. Despite this, he "goes against his raising" by treating African Americans the same as he treats white people; with respect and dignity. This is uncommon for Maycomb, a small town in the South where racism runs rampant. Mrs. Dubose disapproves of Atticus's decision to defend Tom Robinson, claiming he is going against his upbringing.

what deeper meaning, or symbolism does the grass have in this section in a child said what is a grass ?
Masteriza [31]
While various symbols are connected to grass in this poem, the overall meaning of grass in this poem is that is is used as a metaphor for life. The poem begins referring to grass as God-given, and as a child. The middle of the poem references grass growing, and being a part of all people's lives. The poem then discussed graying hair, and ultimately uses grass as a symbol for death. It follows each stage of life, and shows that grass is universal, and a part of all people's lives, just as life and death are universal.
