Perseverance In To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird, a book written by Harper Lee, represents perseverance and what life was like growing up in the 1900ʻs. This novel demonstrates how different things are now and that so much has changed. From the beginning of the book to the end, you can see the growth and mindset change of some characters. They represent our Hawaiian and Christian values. Their determination, taking on responsibility, caring for one another, and their respect for others are shown throughout the book.

On page 86, Atticus tells Scout “You might hear some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down” (86).

Atticus understands that Boo saved the children and that telling the world would be sinful. Boo would receive a lot of attention from the town, which would be detrimental rather than beneficial. Atticus stated, “Thank you for my children, Arthur,” (318). Miss Maudie's house burns to the ground one evening. As the fire is still burning, Jem and Scout are instructed to wait in front of the Radleys' house. Boo Radley approaches and wraps a shivering Scout with a blanket, but Scout and Jem are too preoccupied with the fire to notice. “Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you” (81). Arthur Radley is a true representation of
