when i had to act a scene from to kill a mockingbird i chose the scene at the end of the book (chapeter 31) when scout asks atticus why poeple judge people they dont know or something like that. it showed one of the themes of children learning as they grow up, at least thats what my teacher said. then the scene ends by her falling asleep while atticus reads her a story. anyways i liked the scene.

The courthouse soliloquy (closing arguments) of Atticus Finch in defense of a wrongly accused man. Harper Lee knew her subject matter very well, she lived it.

Example:
The moral voice of To Kill a Mockingbird is embodied by Atticus Finch, who is virtually unique in the novel in that he has experienced and understood evil without losing his faith in the human capacity for goodness. Atticus understands that, rather than being simply creatures of good or creatures of evil, most people have both good and bad qualities. The important thing is to appreciate the good qualities and understand the bad qualities by treating others with sympathy and trying to see life from their perspective. He tries to teach this ultimate moral lesson to Jem and Scout to show them that it is possible to live with conscience without losing hope or becoming cynical. In this way, Atticus is able to admire Mrs. Dubose’s courage even while deploring her racism. Scout’s progress as a character in the novel is defined by her gradual development toward understanding Atticus’s lessons, culminating when, in the final chapters, Scout at last sees Boo Radley as a human being. Her newfound ability to view the world from his perspective ensures that she will not become jaded as she loses her innocence.

The comments Scout made when she and her brother snuck back to the court house that Atticus was guarding. Remember the men were going to lynch the Black man and Scout recognized them and started speaking to them about how nice their children were or something like that. It's been atleast 18 years since I read that book, but I do remember that part touching me. It took the simplicity of Scout speaking to the men to make them feel ashamed.

The scene where the lawyer walks out of the courtroom and all the people in the gallery stand as he walks by. Very powerful stuff.
