This senior high school English Literature quiz tests you on dialog in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The term “dialogue” is used for any direct speech in literature, although technically it means a conversation between at least two people. Dialog is an important element in characterisation. A character’s speech, both in its style and in its content, has much to teach the reader. Several of the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird are strongly characterized through their dialog, with all speaking in dialect to a greater or lesser extent, although these dialects vary, most significantly by the class or race of the person speaking. Atticus often corrects Scout’s use of dialect, describing some words as “common”.
"You're real nice, Uncle Jack, an' I reckon I love you even after what you did, but you don't understand children much."
"I was wonderin' why it was so quiet like, an' it come to me that there weren't a chile on the place, not a one of 'em."
"Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin'."
"You are too young to understand it, but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of — oh, of your father."
"Because — he — is — trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what."
"It's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you."
"Before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
"The thing about it is, our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the colored folks."
"We're askin' him real politely to come out sometimes, and tell us what he does in there — we said we wouldn't hurt him and we'd buy him an ice-cream."
"There's some folks who don't eat like us, but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't."
