205.133.211.194 (talk) 18:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC) In the novel Atticus is a positive role model to his children Jem, and Scout on doing the right thing in a society where being equal is not favored. Atticus defends a African American young Scout, and Jem is able to see people for who they truly are regardless of their race. For example, when Mr. Fitch took on the case of defending Mr. Robinson, there was a group of men who showed up to Atticus' front door, angry about him defending a black man against a white woman. When Scout and Jem realize the men surrounding their father the children run over to defend their father. This is a powerful scene because the audience starts to realize the innocent hearts of the children sticking by what is right. Jem sticks by his dads side until the mob leaves, and in this situation Scout shuts down the situation with kindness. Scout is seen signaling out a man who presents himself as a nice man earlier in the novel who Atticus accepts collards from in exchange for legal work that the family can not afford. Scout went to school with the man’s son named Walter. She mentions how Walter is a nice boy, and to tell his son that she says hello. The statement clearly impacts Mr. Cunningham, makes him feel guilty, and forces him to reevaluate his decision to harass Atticus. The Soft kind tone Scout displays shuts the situation down with kindness and the angry mob leaves.

First paragraph in themes section is irrelevant
the first paragraph in the themes section is useless, irrelevant opinion and the people cited are not anyone of such a status that their opinions should be regarded with any seriousness. It should be removed because it reads like it was written by a spiteful high school freshman. AmbiguousWitch (talk) 07:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

"Classic"
"To Kill a Mockingbird has become a classic of modern American literature"

Is it ok to call something a "classic" as a factual statement? Even with something like "To kill a Mockingbird" it seems like a subjective thing to me, rather than saying "it is widely regarded as a classic". I'm asking out of curiosity. Dornwald (talk) 22:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
