Chapter 20/21: Examine the final line of chapter 21. What is the significance? (Alexsa)
The last line of chapter 21 in TKAM, shows how much respect the people in the court give Atticus. The line states, "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin." (Lee 241) The significance of this quote shows how much respect the people in this time respected a white person, Atticus. At this time, negros did not like white people and white people did not like negros, so when the negros stood up, in respect of Atticus leaving the court room, changed how people saw Atticus and other white people. The theme of the chapter and specifically the last line is courage and bravery. Throughout the trial, Atticus never stopped fighting for Tom Robinson, a black man. This showed how much bravery and courage it took Atticus to not give up and turn on Tom. As you can see, this final line and chapter showed respect, courage, and bravery of people of all kinds.
The last line shows the signafagance of the bravery Atticus took fighting for Tom Robison"s case. After the trial ends Revrynd Sykes says, "Miss Jean Lousie, stand up. Your father's passin." This quote represents the gratefulness African Americans feel towards Atticus. The final line represented how the African Americans felt towards him.
