You're My Inspiration by Jenny https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration A collection of inspirational quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird en-us 2018-02-13 20:03:19 UTC 2023-01-28 18:44:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png Jenny - Period 1 jleckey https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231273226 This is where your mean and matter should go. Example:

Scout says this when she's at her first day of school. Miss Fisher just told her that she isn't allowed to let her dad teach her to read anymore. This quote inspires me because I can relate to Scout's feelings about reading. I take the ability to read for granted. It made me realize just how much reading means to me.]]> 2018-02-13 20:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231273226 Jair P. Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231665368 In the beginning of the text, Atticus explains to Scout you don' judge someone until you crawled in their skin and walked you walk around in it. Atticus explains how you don't judge someone based on their actions but on their intentions, and put your self in their shoes to help understand them best. Atticus can relate and understand people from different backgrounds such as poor farm families. This quote inspires me by taking into consideration about people's lives. It allows me to view others as not by their qualitative features, but as their personality ]]> 2018-02-14 19:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231665368 Evelyn S. - Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231717482 Earlier in the text, Atticus was explaining to the jury that the only way men are created equally is through the court system. Atticus also mentioned that a court is no better than each man sitting before him on that jury. Therefore, Atticus later explains that a court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up. In my opinion, Atticus is trying to explain to the men on that jury that they should not include their personal beliefs on race in this case. The evidence is stone cold and obvious. Tom Robinson did not 🤬 Mayella Ewell.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." This means you cant judge someone based on the way they act or how they view things. Atticus try to teach Scout that views don't matter when it comes to understanding a person.What matters is knowing their intentions and where their heart is.Can they look past race and standards,or are they not strong enough to look past a minor difference between individuals.This quote inspires me to remember we are the generation to make the difference. Today we are filled in a world full of war and hate ,but also filled with hope and compassion.We need to move forward and look past our differences. Or else we are going to end up like life in Maycomb.]]> 2018-02-15 00:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231760281 Megan K.- Period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231767062 In chapter 3, Atticus and Scout talked about how Scout's teacher told her tell her dad to stop teaching her to read. Scout didn't want to continue going to school so that she can keep reading. So, Atticus gives her this advise for her to be able to get along with people better. This quote is inspiring to me because no one ever thinks about how other people feel in different situations because everyone is only worried about themselves. So, this advise about thinking about other people's feelings is very meaningful and useful in everyday life.]]> 2018-02-15 01:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231767062 Thu P. - Period 1 thuphan https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231795360 Jem says this when he was conversing with Scout outside of Judge Taylor’s court. It was the way Mr.Gilmer acted to Tom Robinson disrespectfully, and how Scout pointed out that Tom Robinson was just a “Negro.” This quote inspires me because it makes me want to stand up for someone who is treated unfairly due to their differences: looks, characteristics, etc. If Dill can realize the unfairness of his community/world, I can at least stand up to the plate and be there to help. ]]> 2018-02-15 06:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231795360 Mark W. period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231901722 Atticus talks about the how a calm quiet man named tom Robinson who was also humble and unmitigated felt sorry for a white woman which puts him at a disadvantage because its two white people against one African american. this quote inspires me because the facts that Atticus was saying and trying to come up with ways to prove that tom was innocent, but the jury had this nullification which talks about that even though they know hes right they still go their own way to accuse a African american. ]]> 2018-02-15 14:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231901722 Carter F. Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231904984 Atticus says that one race  shouldn't be taking the blame for another race. He also talks about how only some people can be trusted but not all. This inspires me because it shows how one corrupt example of a race does not mean that the whole entire race is corrupt. It gives me a whole different way to see the world for what it is. It also shows that no race is superior to the other and that everyone is equal. Just because someone has a different color, doesn't mean that another race should be superior, everyone is equal. ]]> 2018-02-15 14:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231904984 Jayden V.-Period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231905306 Atticus said all men in this country are equal. He felt sorry for Tom Robinson because nobody would believe his word.He also said that blacks and whites should always be equal.This quote inspires me because its true that all men are equal and it wants me to stand up for equality and say blacks and whites are equal.]]> 2018-02-15 14:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231905306 Alondra S. https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231905596 on chapter 20 atticus gave a speech  where he says that all men are equal and that the truth is human race and not a race of men.This is a really powerfull quote because he means the truth is that human race is one and there is race of men but we are all equal.This really poped out to me because its true,we are all equal we are one species of many races,we are the same no matter the color.]]> 2018-02-15 14:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231905596 Tearah - Period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231939501 For this I choose the quote:“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is, instead of the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it  through no matter what (page #149)” Atticus is trying to explain this to Jem and Scout after Mrs. Dubose died she had a lot of courage because she was a Morphine addict. Her doctor put her on it, and she used it her whole life. The reason she died was because of the aftershock of her quitting the drug was overpowering. She didn’t want to be on the drug anymore and it showed courage the she wanted to quit, she was tired of the drug overtaking and overpowering her body. I feel like Atticus stated this to Jem and Scout because also during this time he was preparing for the case with Tom Robinson against the Ewell’s. I think he wanted Jem and Scout to know about courage because what he’s about to go through with this case and he wanted Scout and Jem to understand what they’ll have to show and express through these few months. ]]> 2018-02-15 15:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231939501 Makayla M - Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231948080 I chose this quote because Atticus wanted scout to understand that nobody is perfect and that you don't always understand what people are going through, so if you put yourself in their shoes then you might know what is going on. Try not to judge people based on what you see on the outside but also get to know them and see what they are really like because if you don't take a walk in their shoes then your just judging them based on what you think you know, not on what you actually know.]]> 2018-02-15 15:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231948080 Abraham M. abrahammartinez https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231949114 Scout says this when Jem gets a camellia flower from Mrs.Dubose, who died. He gets this flower because he has been reading to Mrs.Dubose, who was sick. He has been reading to her because he had destroyed her camellia with Scout's new baton that he had bought with the money that he got for his birthday. He has to read to her for a month. This inspires me because even though he hated her, he still felt sentimental to a person who has been bad-mouthing his father for lawing for African-Americans.]]> 2018-02-15 15:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/231949114 Alejandra C.- 4th period https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232037531 Atticus was telling Scout that this summer they have to keep their heads up because of Tom Robinson's case , he said that this case was something that goes to the essence of a man's conscience. Scout said he must be wrong because other people say that Atticus is doing wrong in defending Tom. Atticus said everybody can have their own opinion but first he needs to live with himself before living with others. I chose this quote because everybody has to love themselves just the way the are and even though other people may have different opinions, you just have to believe in yourself.     ]]> 2018-02-15 17:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232037531 Brittany W. Period 2 brittanywalker1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232046181 Atticus is talking to the jury explaining that the case never should have came to trial in the first place. He was trying to explain to the people that Bob Ewell was trying to frame Tom Robinson for something that Bob did to his daughter. This quote inspired me because Atticus knew from the start that Bob was the one that hurt his daughter. Atticus had so much evidence to back it up to prove that Tom didn’t do it. I also liked how he said the case was simple as black and white. He said that because it was obvious that Tom didn’t 🤬 Mayella. The only reason why Tom Robinson was guilty because he was black and white people did not like black people. The whole jury was filled with black people.

This quote shows both the flaws and pros of this time period. The flaw here is obviously the discrimination and segregation of the time period but i think a pro can be found too. I think the pro here is how all the people in the room all know that its wrong and I believe that a good thing, maybe no one is standing up for this but they do know and they all to stop it they just think there the only one. This speaks in a way to show how people should stand up for what their heart says is right.]]> 2018-02-15 18:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232076155 Jazmine Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232083056 For my quote I used was from when Atticus was speaking to the jury. Atticus was saying how this trial was decided before it even started or was even thought of because of history. He saw how the black man was ruled against constantly so because of that he was unsure if he would win this case. He was trying to tell the Jury that because Mayella did something that was so looked down upon and would maybe destroy the rest of who her father was that she was willing to even put Tom to death. When Tom was just willing to help her because she looked like she had no help. This quote speaks to me because it means just because of what's been happening regardless of evidence or obvious lies the black man will always be guilty. ]]> 2018-02-15 18:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232083056 Spencer 1st block spencerallman https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232101098  
“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”Judge Taylor says this in the text because, no matter what Atticus says and does the Jury and the courtroom most likely won't listen because they are only wanting to hear negative things about Tom Robinson not positive. S0 more than likely Judge Taylor knew that Tom Robinson was innocent but because the jury was all white, he  knew the jury was gonna declare him as guilty.  He also says this because he refused to close the courtroom even though there was children and women in the courtroom because the mothers chose what they want their children to hear and if they kept them in the courtroom then that's their fault.

Scout was trying to tell uncle Jack that he's being unfair  and also to listen to both sides of the story instead of listening to one side. She was trying to convince uncle Jack to understand how to listen to both sides of the story instead of listening to one side and then judging the other person without listening to what they got to say in defense to that topic. I choose this quote because this quote inspired me to tell my parent that they have to listen to both sides of the story when me and my sister gets in a argument instead of them going straight to my sister and listening to her side and not mines.

Period 2 tanialorenzosantiago https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232202667 The quote in which I choose had to do with the saying " Nobody is perfect and Nobody was ever born perfect". It was presented in Atticus speech as a reflection to the courtroom of the decision they would make after all of the evidence was presented to the jury. Atticus was discussing to the courtroom that even if Tom Robinson was considered guilty, would that mean everyone else of his skin color was guilty? Was every person of his gender guilty? Human beings as well? This speech should be use in the outside world as well with our world we need to stop racial discrimination because with it interfering to a person's daily life. If you are from a different skin color it doesn't make you different than the others because nobody is perfect and no will ever be.

It’s put in people heads that not any negro can be trust they NEVER tell the truth and CANNOT be trusted. My thoughts on this is Atticus wasn't just speak to the jury but everyone, because at this moment he is saying the portrait of how racism is very high and people should be judged by the color of their skin. “The truth applies with the human race not just to no particular race of men” Their customs were preserved and the way people thought was still the same too. “ There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immortal thing, and there is not man living who has never looked upon a women with desire.” ]]> 2018-02-16 03:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232218853 Zeb Period 1 zebulongraham https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232226513 On page 98 Miss Maudie says '' people in their right mind never take pride in their talent'' even though atticus is really good at shooting he avoids killing anything that shows he is civilized and humble because he doesn't brag about it]]> 2018-02-16 04:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232226513 Macey P.

Atticus was highly respected by "Negros" because he defended one of their church members (Negro). Atticus tried all he could to try to win the case of Tom Robinson, and Atticus was trying to prove that Mayella was lying about Robinson raping her.]]> 2018-02-16 13:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232305621 Emmy C period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232317156  
This quote is part of atticus's speech to the courtroom,where he is trying to explain what happened to Tom Robinson. It shows how from the beginning Tom tried to be nice to Mayella. He felt sorry for her because she seemed like she didn’t have many friends. Instead of being rewarded for helping Mayella, he was put in a courtroom where he had to fight back and put his words against two white people's, where he had no chance of getting out of the situation.

Period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232318854 On page 130 Miss Maudie states "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents". Miss Maudie was telling both Scout and Jem that their father is civilized in his heart and how marksmanship is a talent from god and you have to practice at it. She also talks about how she thinks that Atticus put his gun down because he had realized that he had an unfair advantage over most living things then Scout says that it looks like he'd be proud of it.

One of the quotes from Atticus’s speech that I think was the most effective was: “Which, gentlemen, we know is in itself a lie as black as Tom Robinson’s skin, a lie I do not have a point out to you. You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women-black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to not particular race of men. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a  lie...” -pg. 273. Atticus is trying to convince the jury that Tom Robinson is not guilty. He’s saying that everyone lies no matter what race they are. The reason I think that this part of the speech is the most effective because he’s saying that everyone lies and it’s obvious that the witnesses are lying. Atticus is standing up for Tom Robinson not only because he’s innocent but because he’s human and deserves the same treatment as white people.

This quotes means to me that people backed then judged others even worse than they do today. Whites would just assume that if a  man was black that he would lie,be an immortal  being, and could not be trusted with their women. Just because someone's color or the way they look you can not judge them and just assume that they are a bad person

I usually look for things I want to see an listen for things I want to hear. People always tell me to say what others want to hear. It plays a respect factor for me because things you want to hear from others are things you would want people to say to you as well. Things you look for are things you end up finding. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232352117 Mk D Period 2 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232352624 Mean: This quote took place after Ms,Dubose had passed. Jem had just found out that she had been trying to die without morphine in her system. This explains the fact that her outburst had gotten worse as time gone on over the month. 
Matter: This quote inspires me because it shows that a person with a real gun does not show courage all the time. Instead it shows that just standing up to something or trying to overcome a problem.

Based on the world that they live in the Tom Robinson case is already over before it even started. Atticus did not want to conform to society. He still fought for Tom. This quote inspires me because Atticus had known that his case would not win, but he still took his chances to fight for what he believed in and what was right.

I think the most effective was when Mr Finch said ‘there was evidence that Mayella Ewell was beaten savagely’ PG273. The text states the tom Robinson only has one arm and if Mayella Ewell was beaten with savagely. Then how can a one armed man beat someone that bad? If she would've fought back but she didn't and that was her fault. Tom Robinson couldn't of beat her savagely with one hand. This quote inspires me to fight for whats right and stand up for whats right.

Period 4 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232415931 Atticus said this when he was talking to an angry mob trying to attack Tom Robinson. When he said this, he was saying that he didn't care what kind of person you are or what color skin you had. He was ready to stay and fight with all he had to fight for his equality. This quote inspires me because it says we don't need to judge people by the color of their skin, but the by the way they act.]]> 2018-02-16 16:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232415931 Heidy G 4 heidygonzalezmejia https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232416030   I chose the quote “You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view, until you climb into his skin” because atticus is trying to tell scout that she should be more understanding of people's opinions because because that way she can get along easily with others.  I believe that what atticus said to scout should be taken into consideration and that everyone should read it and do it.  Some people these days judge others without knowing them and i f believe that before judging they should consider things from that person's point of view. ]]> 2018-02-16 16:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232416030 Amari W 1st Period https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232453990 "I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up. I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision, and restore this defendant to his family. In the name of God, do your duty." While he says here that he's no idealist, he's been realistic throughout about his extremely low chances of winning this case. In his closing argument, he's acting as if the outcome he knows is impossible is actually the only possible one, in an attempt to make it so.]]> 2018-02-16 18:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232453990 Derinda Perez - Period https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232636381 Atticus is telling Jem what real courage is. He says that courage is not the idea of a man who holds a gun in his hand to represent how brave he is. Courage is when someone begins something knowing that they don’t have a chance to succeed but they seek through it anyway. This quote inspires by motivating me to face challenges. To do something even though my outcome might not be what I want. To act with fear to accomplish what really is important to me and my dreams.]]> 2018-02-17 23:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232636381 Leslie T.~ Period 4 leslieannetorres https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232644252 This quote means that some things never change like racism. Racism has been around for a long time and it’s one of those things that will stick around. He’s telling Jem that sometimes you don’t get the results you want no matter how hard you try. He’s also telling Jem the reality of the cruelty of racism. This also talks about the innocence of children, how it affects them when they face reality. This quote inspires me because no matter what the results are sometimes the only thing you can do the best. This is true life is too short to be stressing over little things sometimes you just have to keep moving forward knowing you tried your best.]]> 2018-02-18 03:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232644252 Emily C- 2 period https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232767962 “In the name of god, do your duty”Atticus Finch pg.275. Atticus was giving a speech at the end of the tom Robinson's court case and at the end of the  speech he had told the quote  to the jury after he had talked about how every man is equal when in a courtroom.This quote inspired me because to me it was the quote that had tied his speech together.It had convinced me that there might be a slight chance of the verdict being innocent. He made me feel conflicted because i know that segregation was a big thing back then so 9.5/10 the verdict was gonna be guilty, but the way he worded his speech made me feel there might be a slight chance of the jury looking through tom’s color and actually looking at the evidence.   ]]> 2018-02-18 23:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232767962 Nathaniel L.-Period 1 https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/232894715 The quote “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what" is inspirational to me. What he meant was you don't have courage for just having a gun, but you have courage for actually doing something by going through with it. This is inspirational to me, because Atticus Finch had a true explanation of courage, and it showed me that someone that looks like they may be big and tough with courage may be really afraid.

Shows that Atticus could prove that Tom Robinson was innocent but it wouldn't matter. The jury was still going to say he was guilty. The jury were just white men so he had no chance going against a white family.  I think this means that people only hear and see what they want to. The quote is inspirational to me because I'm just like this i only listen to what I want.     ]]> 2018-02-19 17:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/233000347 SaTyra A. - Period 1 satyraalston https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/233064214 I chose to do a quote that Atticus said to Scout. The quote I chose to do is "Simply by the nature of the work, every lawyer gets at least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally. This one is mine, I guess." This quote means to me means that because of the job you have that some of the work you do for your job may affect you in ways that you might not want it too. This matters because how some people react to your work may cause you to react.

Shows that Atticus didn't want his his children to look at African Americans differently just because of their skin color . This quote is inspirational to me because he didn't want his children to have the same hateful mindset as people in Maycomb because they based people off by their color and they judged African Americans just because they were poor and they weren't like them . Atticus means that Scout should hear everything he's trying to say and tell her so she will understand the disease of social and racial prejudice .]]> 2018-02-20 17:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jleckey/TKAMInspiration/wish/233398596
