To Kill A Mocking Bird

this story is very sad for me so far very sad
"A lovelier lady than our mother never lived,she sad,and it was heartbreaking the way Atticus Finch let her children run wild. I did not remember our mother, but Jem did-- he would tell me about her sometimes----- and he went livid when Mrs. Dubose shot us this message"pg 100
this little small part of the first part of the book really had me thinking if their mother was so good why then are they so well not as well as they'd wish t be? However i must say this part here did make me think a little about how important they considered their mother even though Jem is the only one who remembers her so well.

"Atticus picked up the mobile press and sat down in the rocking chair Jem had vacated. For the life of m, I did not understand how he could sit there in cold blood and read a newspaper when his son stood an excellent chance of being murder with a Confederate Army relic. Of course Jem antagonized me sometimes until I could kill him, but when it came down to it he was all I had. Atticus did not seem to realize this, or if he did he didn't care."pg 104
this other small part made me consider that they really have each other and really no one else but that was natural from all that's happen to them and what will happen. This also gives me great sadness to feel for them.

"Jem planted his big toe delicately in the center of the rose and pressed it in. Finally he said,"Atticus, its all right on the sidewalk but inside it's---- it's all dark and creepy. There's shadows and things on the ceiling..." Attcus smiled grimly."That should appeal to your imagination. Just pretend you're inside the Radley house."pg 105
this specially made me think how Atticus really doesn't car e but then when i read further on i realized that the poor Mrs. Dubose had died b/c she was an addict to her medicine and really that made me cry inside but the detail that was told was so precise that you felt you were there the whole time and that's what made me think this story is really something to think about since it tells what can happen in our own lives but may or not?
