“That proves something- that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they’re still human.”
This quote is from the conversation between Scout and her father, Atticus. Earlier in the story, Scout unknowingly stops her father from most likely getting killed. Scout steps in and starts talking to one man in the group she knows. She mentions his son and just keeps talking until he replies. She doesn’t notice until afterwards that she just stopped that man and his friends from brutally destroying Atticus. She simply didn’t want to be ignored. She turned a group of wild men, angry for blood, into calm human beings. It’s possible in real life too. I propose there are two sides to every person: the good side and the evil side. Sometimes, people are drawn to the evil side. It may take a lot to get it to go away, but hopefully, we don’t need an eight-year-old girl to pull our good side out. I think people can do it on their own. I think when people turn into wild animals, they can stop themselves. Next time you get in a fight, or want to kill someone, or just get angry at anything, don’t throw or hit something. Remember your inner Scout and calm yourself down, before you get out of control.
