The pages which precede the mad dog incident tell of Scout’s embarrassment over the fact that her father is somewhat older the father of her peers. Atticus wears glasses and reads rather than hunting and playing football like the father’s of many of her friends. Scout’s opinion is drastically changed, however, when Tim Robinson, an old dog, turns up, walking down the street towards the Finch’s house. It is immediately obvious that Tim is not healthy, and it soon becomes apparent that he is in fact rabid, and thus highly dangerous. Heck Tate, the sheriff, soon arrives, bringing with him a rifle which he hands to Atticus. Although he is initially unwilling, Atticus realises his duty to his community, and shoots the mad dog. Maudie Atkinson later tells Scout and Jem that Atticus was once “the deadest shot in Maycomb County”(Lee, 112). The children are shocked that their seemingly boring and non-violent father was actually a great marksman.

3. “…he had…the blackest kind of eyes, sunk so deep back that they seemed like they was looking out of caverns at you…he put on a clean shirt and a full suit from head to foot made out of linen so white it hurt your eyes to look at it…Sometimes he…straightened himself up like a liberty-pole, and the lightning began to flicker from under his eyebrows.”

I really think the short story and the song as well gives you something to think about. I believe the environment the narrator lives in makes him tough. When you’re living in a ghetto or an environment which is rough, you’ll have to be tough even though you on the inside is falling apart. And I think that’s what the narrator goes through.
