September 28- Atticus quote #2

Today we discussed chapters 8 and 9 and got deep into another of Atticus' quotes. Here it is:

Page 101
“Scout, simply by the nature of the work, every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally. This one’s mine, I guess. 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. No matter what anybody says to you, don’t you let ‘em get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change… it’s a good one, even if it does resist learning.”
“Atticus, are we going to win it?”
“No, honey.”
“Then why—“
“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,” Atticus said.

Highlight the lessons that Atticus wants Scout to learn (there are two)


On the back of this sheet, write down your thoughts about each of these lessons
