• "Now you tell your father not to teach you anymore. It's best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I'll take over here and try to undo the damage-" - Miss Caroline
• 'Miss Caroline seemed unaware that the ragged, denim-shirted and flour sack-skirted first grade [...] were immune to imaginative literature.'
• 'I thought mad dogs foamed at the mouth, galloped, leaped and lunged at throats... Had Tim Johnson behaved thus, I would have been less frightened.'
• 'He walked quickly, but I thought he moved like an underwater swimmer: time had slowed to a nauseating crawl' - Atticus
• 'Atticus pushed his glasses to his forehead; they slipped down, and he dropped them in the street. In the silence, I heard them crack.'
• 'He did not begin to calm down until he had cut the tops off every camellia bush Mrs Dubose owned,' - Jem
• 'We saw a solitary light burning in the distance' - Atticus/The Lynch Mob
• 'I pushed my way through dark smelly bodies and burst into a circle of light.' - Scout/The Lynch Mob
• 'His face killed my joy... Hot embarrassment shot through me' - Scout/Atticus
• 'Atticus was moving slowly like an old man... Trembling a little' - Atticus/The Lynch Mob
• 'I sat quietly, having conquered my hands by tightly gripping the arms of the chair' - Scout/Ladies of Maycomb

• '"Run, Scout! Run! Run!" Jem screamed.' - Scout/Jem/Bob Ewell
