Turn to page 226-227. "Atticus rose ... father as it is." Why might this passage be worth interpreting? Elaborate.To Kill A Mockingbird

There are a few reasons this passage might be worth
interpreting:


1. This passage demonstrates that even after
the trial, Atticus' own sister still has prejudices and hatreds that run
deep.


2. It demonstrates that no matter what, there will
always be different types of people in the world that are worth value, not that we
always give them value. This passage demonstrates the evil of intolerance based on a
person's cultural mannerisms. That is not nice, and it's not
fair.


3. It demonstrates a difference in Atticus' and
Alexandra's values. Alexandra values family because they are related. She has pride in
her family. Atticus accepts his family scars and all, which demonstrates that he
understands humanity, we all have strengths and weaknesses.
