To Kill a Mockingbird Outline

Dubose does in her struggle with morphine addiction. Similarly to Atticus, the predicament Mrs. Dubose faces is a result of no fault of her own; she was introduced to morphine for medical reasons. When explaining Mrs. Dubose’s response to the situation she found herself in, Atticus says, “When you’re as sick as she was, it’s all right to take anything to make it easier, but it wasn’t all right for her. She said she meant to break herself of it before she died, and that’s what she did” (Lee 127). This characterization of Mrs. Dubose emphasizes the strength of her conviction; she knows she will die soon and that taking morphine will relieve her pain, along with clearly understanding how difficult it is to break free of a drug addiction, but she chooses to attempt to do so anyways. Her journey ends in success, as demonstrated by Atticus’s reply to Jem wanting to know whether Mrs. Dubose died free: “As the mountain air” (Lee 127). This simile shows that Mrs. Dubose’s dedication towards living by her principles, although it meant sacrificing her physical comfort, paid off at the end. Mrs. Dubose’s decision to take that arduous route shows that even a decision on a personal scale can show tremendous courage and have a tangible

E. Today I will be talking to you about the psychology of the serial killer.

Through her determination to die free of morphine, Mrs. Dubose suffers tremendously from withdrawal showing that mental courage is more difficult to obtain than physical courage. Mrs. Dubose is a morphine addict who appears to be a racist based off of her interactions with Jem and Scout regarding Atticus’ defense of Tom Robinson. In a state of anger, Jem destroys Mrs. Dubose's camellias, and has to read to her for a whole month as a punishment. During this time, the children witnessed the pain that Mrs. Dubose has to endure from not using morphine, yet they could not see her goal and considered her to be disgusting, rather than to show her sympathy for her decision. By the end of her life, Mrs. Dubose has “died beholden to nothing and nobody” (149), she experienced true freedom before she passed away. Mrs. Dubose did

Dubose was one of the examples Atticus used to teach scout how to be empathetic. Scout herself described Mrs. Dubose as “plain hell” (Lee 7). Every single time Jem, Scouts older brother, and Scout passed Mrs. Dubose’s house on their way to the city they would be verbally harassed. One day when Jem and scout were on their way back from the city they passed Mrs. Dubose’s house and Jem got fed up by all her rude and unnecessary comments so he ruined her garden. As a punishment she asked that Jem come to read to her every day after school. Although “Jem and I (Scout) hated her (Mrs. Dubose)” (133), Atticus still made them both go to read a book to her every day because he “wanted you (Them) to see what real courage is” (146). What the kids don’t know is that Mrs. Dubose is actually a morphine addict who was coming clean right before her death. Mrs. Dubose could have just been on medications until she died but she wanted to “die beholden to nothing and nobody” (146) which is what Atticus wanted to show the kids. Even though she was considered an “Old-hell devil” (145) she was actually just fighting a greater battle which was making her come across as unpleasant and rude. Scout starts to realize how she misjudged Mrs. Dubose which helps her become more

Atticus displayed his courage against the evil that had plagued most of the united states when he had decided to be the defense of a black man accused of the rape of a white woman. Even though he had little to no chance to win atticus also knew that the woman's father was a sick, twisted man and was determined to prove the black man's innocence and expose

c. Although it is difficult, the death of one of his men does guilt Cross into becoming a better Lieutenant.

The connotation of real courage seems to be neglected due to courage mainly being associated with physical strength. Through the example of Ms. Dubose, Atticus attempts to debunk the misconception by teaching Jem that courage arises from mental persistence, rather than by a man with a gun in his hand. The women is an excellent example of real courage since she decides to conquer her morphine addiction despite the pain that her body endures during the process. Jem was commanded to read to her by Atticus, but it was more than merely a punishment. Atticus intended on teaching Jem a significant moral that implied to real courage.

Harper Lee makes Jem’s actions extravagant when talking about Mrs. Dubose to express how he doesn’t understand the way Mrs. Dubose acts. When Jem is forced to help Mrs. Dubose for damaging her yard Jem is disappointed because he knows from previous experiences how unfair she is. After Jem’s first day repaying Mrs. Dubose for what he has done he complains to Atticus saying, “She’s so nasty. She has fits or something” (Lee 90). Jem thinks Mrs. Dubose uses disgusting language and that she doesn’t act like a proper

Dubose. Jem and Scout see Mrs. Dubose as a grouchy old woman who enjoys making snide comments about them and their family. One day, Jem lost his normal calm and ruined some of her bushes. As punishment, he had to read to her every day of the week for a month. Although they never learned to like her, they came to respect her and view her in a different light. Their respect for her grew after she had died and Atticus told them that she had been a morphine addict. He said, "She said she was going to leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody. Jem, when you're as sick as she warm it's all right to take anything to make it easier, but it wasn't all right for her. She said she meant to break herself of it before she died, and that's what she did," (Lee 148). To Atticus, this made her the bravest person he knew. This new description of her was very different from the one the Finch children had originally given her. In this case, Jem had judged before he looked, which later taught him a valuable

Dubose, an older lady who is very nagging of Jem and Scout. Jem and Scout do not care for her that much, and yet Atticus never shies from being extremely kind to her. “ It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived. “ (Lee, pg. 115-116) This is an example of Atticus’ kind nature because even with someone who can be as difficult as Mrs. Dubose Atticus shows nothing but the utmost respect and kindness to her. In the eyes of Jem and Scout this is astonishing because they don’t understand how anyone could be kind to someone who is aggravating to them. They find Atticus so brave to have been kind to her, comparing it to something as difficult as being in a war, when really it is just how Atticus acts. Atticus returns from Mrs Dubose’s house with news of her passing, with him he brought a small candy box that Mrs. Dubose wanted Jem to have, inside was a camellia flower.. “... I told you that if you hadn’t lost your head I’d have made you go read to
