I believe statement E is the line that describes Mr. cunningham's change of mind the most as that was when he realised his actions wouldn't lead to anythng useful or productive, and that he wasn't being truly courageous.

Which line from elsewhere in the novel (see choices below) best explains why Mr. Cunningham changed his mind about being at the jail and told the men that they should all go home? Explain the reasoning behind your choice. A: "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." B: "sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of-oh, of your father." C: "There are just some kind of men who-who's so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one." D: "Atticus said no, it wasn't that sort of thing, that there were other ways of making people into ghosts." E: "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..." I believe E best describes why Mr Cunningham changed his mind. I think he realised that his actions were not going to lead to anything productive, and that for him to be a 'real man', courage meant doing the right thing and putting down the gun. He may also have hesitated because of his family and the repurcussions involved if Scout understood what was going on. |
