Part a) How does Lee use details in this passage to present Miss Maudie’s view if Maycomb?

‘ We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we’ve got men like Atticus to go for us.’ Said miss Maudie.

Lee make Maudie’s view of Maycomb shown in this quote. Maudie thinks that Maycomb is an isolated town, where not a lot happens. Things that challenge you as a person, difficulties that change people. Maycomb supplies a nice smooth ride through life, most of the time. But when something that challenges morals comes Atticus is there to deal with it.

    This is an excellent start. You have asserted your strong interpretation of Maycomb as isolated and you have begun to explain why – but this is unfinished.

    What is Maudie suggesting about the other inhabitants of Maycomb if they need Atticus to steer them through moral crises?
