The black community gave lots of food to Atticus as a way of saying thank you for all the work he put in on Tom Robinson’s trial. Although Atticus did not win the trial, people were still very grateful for his effort.

The semantic fields that Harper Lee uses in the noval are ones that make the scene tense and also unnerving because the two words that link are creepy and shivered. Most of the time these words both mean that someone is afraid or nervous because they are either remembering something bad (or scary) or that the thing they have remembered was happening again and possibly getting worse. This altogether creates tension because the reader is on the edge and wanting to know what the character is remembering and also it creates tension during the scene in the book.

One perspective of how Boo Radley is a mockingbird is the simple fact that he never commits a selfish act or deed. He leaves everyone alone, this might be due to the fact that he is despised for one reason or another. The other idea is his back stories and his interaction with Jem and Scout as he is kind to Jem and Scout because they are treating him like a noraml human being despite his uncertain past.
