Question: Explain Atticus’s comment that “Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know—doesn’t say much for them, does it?

Answer: Atticus, therefore, bases his definition of a mob on one particular characteristic: "being made up of people." Therefore, Atticus is simply stating that only one thing universalizes a mob, it is simply a group of people. Atticus does this so as to calm the fears of his children, Jem and Scout
