1. To Kill A Mockingbird Allusions
Mrs. Pinson’s
example

2. “‘…the Missouri Compromise was what licked us, but if I had to go through it agin I’d walk every step of the way there an’ every step back jist like I did before an’ furthermore we’d whip ‘em this time…’” (Lee 101)
Meaning: The Missouri Compromise was a law that banned slavery in all states north of the 36’30 degree line and entered Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. This led to the inequality of slave and free states because of the North's size.
Reason Allusion Is Used: This allusion shows that Cousin Ike is trying to portray that the Confederacy should have won the war so they'd still have slaves and there wouldn’t be any chaos of Negros wanting equality and getting a fair shot.
Effect: This allusion helps you get a better understanding of how Atticus is the only white person in Maycomb that believes in the equality of all regardless of how much grief he is getting for defending a negro. Not only does the town disagree, but his relatives don’t support him either. Because he defends Tom no matter what others say about him, it shows his drive for equality and how great of a person he is.
