    Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird is set in the 1930s in Maycomb, Alabama and focuses on a lawyer named Atticus Finch. Atticus defends a black man named Tom Robinson against false rape charges, despite facing backlash from others in the white community who see it as betrayal. The passage argues that Atticus is the bravest character as he stands up for his beliefs in equal justice, telling his daughter that though things may get bitter with their friends, they are still their friends and Maycomb is still their home. While some question if Atticus is truly brave, the passage says he shows bravery by standing up for himself against critics and not appearing scared.
