Instead of posting a question - post a passage/quotation that you find significant. This can be from any of the reading from this week - in other words from Chapter 16 on.

"Because--- he---- is---- trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have around him picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what. You're enough of a problem to you father as it is." (pg 301/ End of chp 24)

"Whats the matter?" Aunt Alexandra asked, alarmed by the look on my fathers face.
"Toms dead."

"So far nothing in your life has interfered with your reasoning process. Those were twelve reasonable men in everyday life, Tom's jury, but you saw something come between them and reason… In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life." P. 295

Maycomb was interested by the news of Tom's death for perhaps two days; two days was enough for the information to spread through the county. "Did you hear about?....No? Well, they say he was runnin' fit to be lightnin'..." To Maycomb, Tom's death was typical. Typical of a nigger to cut and run. Typical of a nigger's mentality to have no plan, no thought for the future, just run blind first chance he saw. Funny thing, Atticus Finch might've gotten him off scot free, but wait--? Hell no. You know how they are. Easy come, easy go. Just shows you, that Robinson boy was legally married, they say he kept himself clean, went to church and all that, but when it comes down to the line, the veneer's mighty thin. Nigger always comes out in 'em. (pg 322)

Okay but is there a flip side/ down side to this very generous view of everyone?
