Question

In the closing line of Chapter 13, the narrator states: "I know now what he was trying to do, but Atticus was only a man. It takes a woman to do that kind of work." Explain the quotation then argue it's truth or falsity

Answer 1

The correct answer is True, Scout, with a renewed self- awareness, acknowledges Atticus' efforts to be of comfort to her and the reality is that he only started out this conversation at Aunt Alexander's insistence. She now "knows what he was once trying to do," in attempting to reassure his teenagers after all however also realizes that he needless to say lacks a mother's potential to nurture kids instinctively. It does not come naturally to him.
