    Don't let "prejudice" be the weapon to kill the good

    This article was first published on the public account: Theater7

    Kindness and respect should be reciprocated to those who are good, but in the face of those who have done serious harm to society, we should resolutely reward them with a bullet, lest they harm more innocent people.

    You and I are both murderers-"Kill a Mockingbird"


    "I heard a robin calling in the distance. I think I haven't heard it for thousands of years. Although its music will be thousands of years away, I will never forget it,-it It's still as sweet and powerful, like the singing of the past."
    -Thoreau: "Walden Lake"

    In Vinci's eyes, there is no act more...

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Atticus Finch: Did you rape Mayella Ewell?

    Tom Robinson: I did not, sir.

    Atticus Finch: Did you harm her in any way?

    Tom Robinson: I did not.

  • Atticus Finch: Good Lord, I must be losin' my memory. I can't remember whether Jem is twelve or thirteen. Anyway, it'll have to come before the county court. Of course, it's a clear-cut case of self-defense. I'll uh, well I'll run down to the office...

    Sheriff Tate: Mr. Finch... do you think Jem killed Bob Ewell? Is that what you think? Your boy never stabbed anyone.

    [Atticus and Sheriff Heck Tate look at Boo]

    Sheriff Tate: Bob Ewell fell on his knife - he killed himself. There's a black man dead for no reason. Now the man responsible for it is dead. Let the dead bury the dead this time, Mr. Finch. I never heard tell it was against the law for any citizen to do his utmost to prevent a crime from being committed, which is exactly what he did. But maybe you'll tell me it's my duty to tell the town all about it, not to hush it up. Well, you know what'll happen then. All the ladies in Maycomb, includin' my wife, will be knockin' on his door bringin' angel food cakes. To my way of thinkin', takin' the one man who done you and this town a big service, and draggin' him with his shy ways into the limelight - to me that's a sin. It's a sin. And I'm not about to have it on my head. I may not be much, Mr. Finch, but I'm still Sheriff of Maycomb County, and Bob Ewell fell on his knife. Good night, sir.
