What is the only time we are explicitly told that Atticus' eyes fill with tears in the novel? Why is this moment significant? Integrate a quote into your response.

Atticus' eyes fill with tears when he sees that the black community has brought them food in gratitude for what he has done, the morning after the Tom Robinson trial. He is "very grateful" but urges that they "must not do this again". |

Atticus' eyes fill with tears in the novel because the black community were very grateful of what he had done, and so had given him food. Atticus may have felt like he should have tried harder and perhaps felt guilty, or felt very overwhelmed by how kind it was, as it would not have been easy for them to afford it. He, however, urged them to "not do this again". |

Well said and this moment also shows how much Atticus was touched at black community's gratitude knowing it would have been hard for them to get all this food for him. |

I also think that he admires that the black community is so tight knit and even though he is white, they bring him food because he has helped one of their own. |

Atticus' eyes fill with tears when he sees that the black community has brought them food in gratitude for what he has done, the morning after the Tom Robinson trial. He is "very grateful" but urges that they "must not do this again". This shows that he is only moved emotionally by positive acts. He does not respond emotionally to sad situations or out of anger so responds to them logically. |

Integrate a quote into your response. we are told that his eyes fill with tears when he sees all the food that the black community gave him the day after Tom's case. It was said that there was "enough food to bury the family" which is significant because the black community are poor but were thankful enough to give that large amount of food. |

I agree, the quote you have integrated is also very significant as it is quite a literal view on how the black community suffers. The food they give will leave them at a loss and hungry. |

This happens when the black community buy him food to thank him for what he had done. Atticus eyes fill with tears because the gesture is very sweet, and it probably overwhelmed him
