"It captures the essence of childhood at the verge of discovering evil and hate within their community. The skill with which Lee shows us how a lynch mob can be transformed, by a child's innocent kindness. Scout does not recognize the concept of the mob she sees only familiar individuals to reach out to. Scout and Jim have to create fear and mystery out of what turned out to be a gentle, shy individual."
