In the book To Kill a Mockingbird the
scenes that come to mind to me as being demonstrative of compassion were in the end of
the book.
The time in the book when Boo carries an injured
Jem to his father's home and down the hall to Jem's room shows compassion on Boo's
behalf.
The scene when Heck Tate makes the decision to
protect Boo by stating that Bob Ewel fell on his own knife showed that heck was
different than many of the townspeople. He showed compassion for
Boo.
Finally, when Scout takes Boo home. Atticus tells her
to place her arm through Boo's so that he could walk down the road like a man. I found
this to be of greatest compassion and so true to Atticus'
nature.
