To kill a mocking bird - Quote Picker

Posted by hanyoungrok on 26th June 2008

chapter 2

page 18

-Now that I was compelled to think about it, reading was something that just came to me, as learning to fasten the seat of my union suit without looking around, or achieving two bows from a snarl of shelaces………….,but I had stared at them  all the evenings in my memory, listening to the news of the day,Bills To Be Enacted into Laws, the diaries of Lorenzo Dow -

We can know from this paragraph that author was very intelligent. As she can read book without any education. Just listening to the news of the day and read diaries of Lorenzo Dow.

 

page 21

-My special knowledge of the Cuningham tribe - one branch, that is - was gained from events of last winter. Walter’s father was one of Atticus’s clients. After a dreary conversation in our living room one night about his entailment, before Mr Cunningham left he said, ‘Mr Finch, i don’t know when i’ll ever be able to pay you.’ ‘Let that be the least of your worries, Walter,’ Atticus said.

From this paragraph, we can know that author’s father’s personality. He is a very kind and magnanimous as Mr Cunningham was worried about financial problem, but Atticus said that don’t worry.
