A theme from chapter 5 of To Kill A Mockingbird is empathy. Miss Maudie encourages Scout to empathise with Arthur Radley during their discussion on the porch. Harper Lee describes Miss Maudie as someone who ‘loved everything on God’s earth’, and Miss Maudie then goes on to explain that Arthur Radley was a very polite and respectful young man, contradicting the thoughts of society. This coaxes Scout into the reconsideration of her thoughts towards Arthur.

Hello Harry,
You have developed your previous post into a paragraph that is beginning to show some clear analysis. Your inferences are well though out and you link this to the theme of empathy.
Targets:
1) please include the titles of each chapter within your blog title. This will make it so much easier for revision.
2) look at the target from your previous post and try to develop this post to include spevific quotations that help to show hew Harper Lee has taken care to create a credible and ‘rational’ character.
