Kind innocence

From the eyes of a little girl, looking at this crazy adult world, in fact, the adult world is the same as her world. She feels inexplicable fear and curiosity about things she doesn't know or understand, but she doesn't dare to understand.
The "cloth" that brought fear to her, her elder brothers and children, is a symbol of the separation between people. First gave him a nickname that scared him, and gave him many horrible behaviors, and then sent him some things that hurt him. In fact, "Bu" is only a mentally handicapped child who is innocent and harmless. He wants to collude with children and give him his beloved playthings.
A robin is a cute bird that can sing eight scales. It does not steal food from farmers or destroy other people’s nests. It just sings to people. For such a bird, killing it is one thing. Kind of crime. Just like a kind-hearted cloth, a kind-hearted Tom, a kind-hearted innocence, and noble justice.

To Kill a Mockingbird quotes

  • Tom Robinson: I can't use my left hand at all. I got it caught in a cotton gin when I was twelve years old. All my muscles were tore loose.

  • [testifying]

    Tom Robinson: Well, I said I best be goin', I couldn't do nothin' for her, an' she said, oh, yes I could. An' I asked her what, and she said to jus' step on the chair yonder an' git that box down from on top of the chifforobe. So I done like she told me, and I was reachin' when the next thing I know she... grabbed me aroun' the legs.

    [a murmur erupts in the courthouse]

    Tom Robinson: She scared me so bad I hopped down an' turned the chair over. That was the only thing, only furniture 'sturbed in the room, Mr. Finch, I swear, when I left it... Mr. Finch, I got down off the chair, and I turned around an' she sorta jumped on me. She hugged me aroun' the waist. She reached up an' kissed me on the face. She said she'd never kissed a grown man before an' she might as well kiss me. She says for me to kiss her back.

    [Tom shakes his head, re-living the ordeal with his eyes half-closed]

    Tom Robinson: And I said, Miss Mayella, let me outta here, an' I tried to run. Mr. Ewell cussed at her from the window and said he's gonna kill her.
