Question

• This is from the book how to kill a mockingbird.. plz help and no links!

What did Atticus mean when he said about the confrontation with the Cunningham family, "It took
an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses [...] That proves something - that a gang
of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human"?

a) How did Scout "bring 'em to their senses"?

b) Why could the gang be stopped "because they're still human"?

Answer 1
