Answer:atticus explaining to his children that even though he is unlikely to win the trial, he should fight anyway.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mrs. Dubose dies, Atticus explains to his children that she was fighting against a terrible addiction. She was addicted to morphine and dying, but she wanted to die free from the addiction. This was why Atticus sent his children to read to her. He wanted them to see a different definition of courage than what they would expect.
