at the end of to kill a mockingbird, what is mr. underwood up to in general?

Question

I have to write a character analysis and it asks "status of character at the end of the novel, what are you up too? HELP!!

Answer 1

In this novel Tom Robinson and Boo Radley represent the innocence of the mockingbird. Mr. Underwood, the town's editor, compares Tom to a mockingbird after Tom's death. "He likened Tom's death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children..." Tom's good character and total innocence make him resemble the harmless songbird. Not understanding that his best chance remains to bide his time and failing to grasp anything other than his crushing desire to escape, Tom seems like a frantic, caged songbird. Boo Radley, too, resembles a mockingbird because of his natural desire to please the children with the gifts he puts in the tree and his tender compassion for them when they stand outside shivering in the cold watching Miss Maudie's fire. As Miss Maudie says, "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy." Furthermore, the night Boo Radley saves their lives Jem and Scout hear a mockingbird in the Radley's yard, "High above us in the darkness a solitary mocker poured out his repertoire in blissful unawareness of whose tree he sat in, plunging from the shrill kee, kee of the sunflower bird to the irascible qua-ack of a bluejay, to the sad lament of Poor Will, Poor Will, Poor Will." Both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson pour out their songs of joy or sympathy in a kind of blissful unawareness of the consequences.

Answer 2

Mr.Underwood is the mewspaper reporter. At the end of the book it does not say what he does or much about him. It only mentions him in the courtroom and what he does. So if your going to wright a character analysis about him all you can say is that he goes on with his life.
