Chapter 15

Literary Luminary

"I've never heard of a gang in Maycomb. Ku klux got after some Catholics one time" (147).

I chose this passage because, this sounds a bit suspicious. This passage shows the readers that there are some secrets in Maycomb.

"Hey Mr. Cunningham. the man did not hear me, it seemed. Hey Mr. Cunningham. How's your entailment gettin' along? ......Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham?......I go to school with Walter. Hes your boy, ain't he? Ain't he, sir? Mr. Cunningham was moved to a faint nod. He did know me, after all. He's in my grade, I said. And he does right well. He's a good boy, I added. A real nice boy. We brought him home for dinner one time. Maybe he told you about me, I beat him up one time but he was real nice about it. Tell him hey for me, won't you?"(153-154).

I chose this passage because after scout finished talking to Mr. Cunningham, all the men left Atticus. This shows that the men really thought about what they were going to do, and realized that they were doing something wrong.

"Finally Atticus returned, switched off the light above the jail door, and picked up his chair. Can I carry it for you Mr. Finch? asked Dill.... Sure son" (155).

I chose this passage because it shows that Dill is getting older and feels like a family member. Even Atticus says sure son.
