Revenge Quotes In To Kill A Mockingbird

Fear and Revenge

“False accusations are of particular interest to skeptics because skepticism has often been at the forefront of giving voice to the wrongly accused” (Radford). Skeptical claims have been recognized and allows the public to ask for strong evidence to support their claims.
