Moral Courage by Lillie Varner https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p Having the strength to put yourself aside from everyone else's beliefs and standing up for what is right is what defines you as a person. en-us 2018-10-12 16:29:44 UTC 2026-01-04 15:27:15 UTC hello@padlet.com When The Theme First Emerged: lvarne7952 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293423334 The theme of moral courage first emerged when Atticus decided to represent Tom Robinson. It showed that Atticus had the courage to support Tom even though everyone else believed he was guilty. The theme was then drawn out throughout the story to give us an understanding of what the story is about. ]]> 2018-10-16 15:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293423334 Dialogue and Internal Characters Thoughts: gwilli8660 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293431664 Harper Lee uses dialogue and internal character thoughts in the story to show moral courage.]]> 2018-10-16 15:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293431664 Internal and External Conflicts: lvarne7952 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432085 Harper Lee uses internal and external conflicts to show moral courage throughout the story.]]> 2018-10-16 15:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432085 Example #2 jnedwa9295 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432314  Harper Lee uses Moral  Courage to create Scout as a static and round character. Scout is a Static character regarding Moral courage because she always had the courage to stand up for her family even when people didn't agree with her. She stays this way throughout the story, always wanting to stand up for what is right. Scout is a round character because throughout the story the reader gets introduced to  Scouts different character traits.]]> 2018-10-16 15:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432314 Setting: djohns0772 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432752 Harper Lee uses the setting to exhibit Moral Courage throughout the story. ]]> 2018-10-16 15:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293432752 Character Development: jnedwa9295 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293932425 Harper Lee uses Moral Courage to develop the characters throughout the story.]]> 2018-10-17 15:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293932425 Example #2 lvarne7952 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293934924  Another example is when Atticus chooses to represent Tom Robinson. Harper Lee shows that Atticus has morals and no matter what his political and racial beliefs are, he knows he has to do the right thing. ]]> 2018-10-17 15:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293934924 Example #1 gwilli8660 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293935082 One example Harper Lee  uses is during the trial chapters. For instance, in the court room while testifying, Tom Robinson said, "Mr. Finch, I tried. I tried to 'thout bein' ugly to her. I didn't wanta be ugly. I didn't wanta be ugly, I didn't wanta push her or nothin'." This shows that he had the moral courage to testify the truth in front of a room packed full of people waiting for him to fail.]]> 2018-10-17 15:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293935082 Example #1 lvarne7952 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293935402  One example Harper Lee uses is during the attack of Bob Ewell in chapter 28, Boo Radley — knowing that killing someone was wrong — had the courage to kill Bob Ewell to protect Jem and Scout.
We know that Boo did the right thing when Scout said, " Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" about Sheriff Heck Tate prosecuting Boo Radley.

Atticus wasn't the one who exhibited Moral Courage, though. It was actually Scout. Scout was the one who stood up for Jem when he was yanked off his feet by his collar. She was the one who confronted Mr. Cunningham when no one else did, proving that she was the one who exhibited Moral Courage.]]> 2018-10-17 15:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293935634 Example #1 lvarne7952 https://padlet.com/lvarne7952/gtyfiw0rcr5p/wish/293940427 One way that Harper Lee uses the setting to show Moral Courage is during the church scene.

Atticus is a  Static character because throughout the story Atticus always does what is right. His morals don't change at the end because he always did the right thing no matter who was watching.

Jem had the moral courage to fight back (even though it caused him to get knocked unconscious) in order to protect himself and Scout from a dangerous character.
