Father

His father was also a lawyer, similar to Atticus in some ways. Calm, calm, doesn't talk much on weekdays, treats me well. He tried to guide me to be a righteous and kind person, through face-to-face communication in the dead of night, or to share a persuasive article, a moving movie, and sometimes just a familiar classic song. To be an upright person. You can get bad grades and be inferior to others in some areas, but there is only one person in a billion people, and none of this prevents you from being a bright and upright person. He said. I never had the opportunity to witness my father in court. He didn't have the handsome face of Gregory Peck, nor was he perfect in character. But he is still a good father, a good lawyer, full of responsibility, good upbringing, rich experience and excellent eloquence. The courage, justice and conscience that Atticus showed in defending Tom was, I believe, what my father looked like in court. At the end of the film, Atticus holds Scott and waits for Jem to wake up all night. Just like my father has been waiting for me to grow up since I was born. I wish Jem and I could be like Atticus, like a father. May the robin sing freely forever, and the beautiful melody will always echo in the world.

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.
