Writing Activity
 NO CHEAP SHOTS!
 In this novel, as in life, nothing is either perfectly good or
perfectly evil. It would have been easy to offer a blatant
indictment of the Ewell’s crime, the town’s bigotry, Aunt
Alexandra’s narrow-mindedness, Dolphus Raymond’s
eccentricity, Mrs. Dubose’s nastiness and drug addiction.
However, Harper Lee always counterbalances the evil with
the good in order to portray the real complexities of life.
Describe how each of these possible indictments are
tempered by positive counterpoints. Why do you think the
author always falls short of making outright indictments
against the society being described? What do you think she
is really trying to convey about they nature of bigotry and
injustice?
