What page is this quote on : "Atticus says cheating a black man is ten times worse than cheating a white" ?

Question

this is from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

Answer 1

It depends on what book you have , there's different versions of TKAM, probably around the second half of the book where they start dealing with the trial.

Answer 2

315

Answer 3

errmmm which version?

Answer 4

You have to take this in the context of the whole book. Think about the cultural themes portrayed.. especially racism.  Black people were (and sometimes still are) held in extreme prejudice. They are very disadvantaged, and Atticus is explaining that its worse to cheat someone who is already at a disadvantage. Rather we should help them.

Answer 5

"Atticus says cheating a colored man is ten times worse than cheating a white man" (201).

The significance of this quote is quite clear; it is ten times the sin to cheat someone who is already at a disadvantage, that would be like killing a mockingbird who is without wings.

The number could be the page number - but you should confirm to be sure
