passage?
What type of conflict is it?
v
Reverend Buckminster licked his lips. "What were you
doing on Malaga Island?"
What could he say? That he had practiced with Lizzie,
dug for clams, and eaten them later in a chowder so good
that he might have given up Eden for it? That he had
spread his arms and flown with the Tripps? That he had
sat quietly by the water's edge and dreamed dreams?
That he had found a place that was more home than
home?

Turner and Himself

Internal

Turner sees Malaga positively, but others do not.

Explanation:

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
