Explain Atticus’ explanation about the mob dispersing. What is a mob made of? How was it broken up? chapters 16-17 (Alex Daly)

         “A mob is always made up of people no matter what.” [lee 210] This is a quote from Aticus describing what the mob was created of.  Aticus is saying that when people are in a mob they are a whole different person. The mob mentality completely changes how they are felling and how they carry out actions. Aticus is stating that it is not their fault that they are caught up in all the shenanigans that are going around town. The men that are caught up in this are generally good men, but they all get together and create something that is bad overall. “ So it took a eight-year old child to bring them to their senses, didn’t it. That proves something - that gang of wild men can be stopped, simply because they are human.” [lee 210] This statement is just reinforcing that Aticus truly thinks that it was the mob mentality and not the men that where after him that night.
