QUOTES FROM HARPER LEE’S TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
“I don’t hafta take his sass”
“I lay on my stomach, reached down, and poked him. He rolled up. Then, feeling safe, I suppose, he slowly unrolled. He traveled a few inches in his hundred legs and I touched him again. He rolled up. Feeling sleepy, I decided to end things. My hand was going down on him when Jem spoke.”
