  4. Ch 24 Miss Maudieretorts, “His food doesn’t stick going down, does it?” (233).

  5. Ch 24 The narratorrelates, “[Aunt Alexandra] gave Miss Maudie a look of pure gratitude…I was content to learn that Aunt Alexandra could be pierced sufficiently to feel gratitude” (233).

  6. Ch 24 Miss Maudielectures, “Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we’re paying the highest tribute [to Atticus] we can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It’s that simple” (236).

  7. Ch 25 The narratorunderstands, “Atticus had used every tool available to free men to saveTom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men’s hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed” (241).

  8. Ch 26 Miss Gateslectures, “We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship. Dic-ta-tor-ship. Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudice. Pre-ju-dice” (245).

  9. Ch 27 Atticussuggests, “I think I understand why [Bob Ewell holds a grudge]. It might be he knows in his heart that very few peoople in Maycomb really believed his and Mayella’s yarns. He thought he’d be a hero, but all he got for his pain was…was, okay, we’ll convict this Negro but get back to your dump” (250).

  10. Ch 28 Atticuscontemplates, “I can’t conceive of anyone low-down enough to do a thing like this, but I hope you found him” (266).

  12. Ch 30 Heck Tateexplains, “Taking the one man who’s done you and this town a great service an’ draggin’ him with his shy ways into the limelight---to me, that’s a sin” (276).

  13. Ch 30 Scoutputs it all together, “Mr. Tate was right [about keeping Boo out of the report]…It’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?” (245).
