‘I simply want to tell you that there are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for noun.’

Lee indicates that, the majority, of the rest of Maycomb aren’t as morally strong as Atticus to do the unpleasant jobs in Maycomb, such as defending a black man’s word against a white man’s. She is also implying that the rest of Maycomb is blind to the .injustice of racism in the county’ that ‘some men’ can see the injustice and evil. These ‘some men’ are the people that do something about it, while some jut think about doing it or don’t even do it. ‘We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we’ve got men like Atticus to go for us.’

    Bruke,

    This is a well developed exploration of the noun phrase ‘some men’ that shows a strong interpretation of Miss Maudie and her intentions. This shows lots of potential – be pleased.

    Targets
    1) Make your argument clear by introducing your quotations and it’s relevance.

    2) Try to explore the use of pro-nouns in Maudie’s speech.
