Quote ""It's different this time," he said. "this time we aren't fighting the Yankees, we're fighting our friends. But remember this, no matter how bitter things get, they're still our friends and this is still our home""". Lee uses a reference to the Civil War to connect this quote to the theme of caring about those close to you even if they don't feel the same way. Referencing the Civil War, a recent event considering the time when the book was published. Inferring that the War had families and friends fighting not with fists and words, but instead rifles and bayonets. Yet despite all that, they still care for each other. Which is similar to what the situation is now, only this time instead of rifles they have verdicts and lynching. Building the idea that despite all hardships you face with close ones, you should still care about them at the very least.

¨I could not possibly be a lady if I wore breeches”( Lee 108)
In this chapter the whole time she was with her family the theme of her not being” ladylike” was very apparent. This quote is just one example of her being told that's not how ladies act. I think a lot of this is just that's what they thought back in the day but it still doesn’t make it right.

"You're real nice, Uncle Jack, an' I reckon I love you even after what you did, but you don't understand children much...you never stopped to gimme a chance to tell you my side of it.." (Lee, 97)
This is characterization for Scout because it shows her maturing and realizing how she can stand up for herself calmly without yelling. It also shows her doing similar stuff to her dad because her dad is a defense lawyer who learns both sides of the story and has to listen to what people say before reacting/deciding things.

“Atticus, you’ve never laid a hand on her.”
“I admit that. So far I’ve been able to get by with threats. Jack, she minds me as
well as she can. Doesn’t come up to scratch half the time, but she tries.”
“That’s not the answer,” said Uncle Jack.
“No, the answer is she knows I know she tries. That’s what makes the difference." (Lee 91) This shows characterization of Atticus. He knows and understands Scout, he sees her interacting with others and knows there's no need to truly threaten her because shes trying her best. Hes empathetic and logical, he connects with his daughter and wants to make her feel safe. Especially for the time and her being a girl he could have a lot more dominance and fear over his kids but he chooses not to and that creates his character.

““I’ll be here a week, and I don’t want to hear any words like that while I’m here. Scout, you’ll get in trouble if you go around saying things like that. You want to grow up to be a lady, don’t you?”
I said not particularly.
“Of course you do. Now let’s get to the tree.”” (jack, 81)
This is both characterization of Scout and Jack. Jack Finch is portrayed as a man who pushes gender roles and Scout as a young girl who is opposed to said gender roles by not really wanting to be a “lady”.

“You gonna give me a chance to tell you? I don’t mean to sass you, I’m just tryin‘
to tell you.” (Lee, 88)

In this quote, Scout is characterized as being very direct and to the point, as well as pretty mature for her age. She doesn't make any attempt to be any less direct with her word choice even though she's talking to an authority figure, but she still takes care to clarify that she doesn't mean to sass him. That in itself in something that not many kids her age would do, especially when they're upset with someone. It displays that she understands the importance of respectfulness even when she's angry.
