| Post subject: | Bravery - To Kill a Mockingbird |
Bravery develops on two levels in “To Kill a Mockingbird” 1. Lower level – childish bravery – for example children dare each other to get as close as possible to Boo’s house (to touch the wall of the house if possible), to go and see if there are other gifts in the hole of the tree, to deliver a note for Boo, etc 2. Higher level – opposing society stupid rules, prejudice – Atticus defends Tom (even if he knows he can not win); children face the mob in front of the jail (Jem refuses to leave his father there, Scout addresses the mob, without having any idea of the her bravery) |
