I Need help relating the quote:

To Animal Farm and To Kill A Mocking Bird any help at all is great

Answer 1

It is easy to do the right thing when it won't inconvenience oneself, but it is much more difficult to do the right thing when it means everyone will be against you as a result, even people who were your friends.  That is what happened to Atticus in To Kill a Mockingbird.  I haven't read Animal Farm, but look at the quote from the same perspective.  Here are a few links that may help you.
