The significance is that Atticus wants Jem to learn that courage and bravery is not associated with physical strength, and that a person’s mental strength is more powerful.

47. Speaker, context, and significance: “Yes, suh. I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more’n the rest of ‘em-” (197). Tom Robinson is answering Mr. Gilmer’s question about why he helped Mayella out. Tom has damaged his case because he should not feel sorry for a white woman since he is black.

48. Speaker, context, and significance: “It’s like being in a cocoon, that’s what’s it is like…Like something’ asleep wrapped up in a warm place. I always thought Maycomb folks were the best folks in the world, least that’s what they seemed like” (215). Jem is commenting about Maycomb after the trial. The significance is that his perceptions of life in Maycomb have changed. He understands that life is a journey and a quest for truth, and one cannot simply accept life at face value, but must question and evolve.

49. Speaker, context, and significance: “I think I’ll be a clown when I get grown…Well I’m gonna be a new kind of clown. I’m gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks” (216). After the trial Dill is commenting on what he would like to be when he grows up. The significance is that Dill has empathized with Tom at the trial but does not like the way he feels when he empathizes, so he will choose not to be empathetic and not to try to make a change; he chooses to get off of the road to Atticus.

50. Speaker, context, and significance: “Mr. Arthur, bend your arm down here, like that. That’s right sir” (278). Scout is walking Boo home after the attack. The significance is that Scout is being empathetic. Her action shows that she has internalized the lesson that Atticus has taught her.
