Chapter 8 –
“Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you.”
I chose this quote because at the beginning of the story there are rumors going around that Boo Radley is crazy and mean just because he has been locked up in his house. As you can see here in this quote, all of these rumors are lies, he is a nice man, and he helped the Finch kids while they were freezing outside.
Chapter 9 –
“Then why did Cecil say you defended niggers?
I chose this quote from chapter nine because the people from Macomb are making a very big deal over the fact that Atticus is defending the black man. The judge appointed Atticus lawyer for this case because the judge knew that Atticus will be able to defend the black man. Cecil said that Atticus said that he said that he will defend the black man only because he is his lawyer.
