Pocket Watches Men
Who said this quote in “To Kill a Mockingbird”?
The quote is (page 28):
He was among the most diminutive of men, but when Burris Ewell turned toward him, his right hand went to his pocket. “Watch your step, Burris,” he said. “I’d soon’s kill you as look at you.”
Who was the person speaking?
CONTEXT:
Scout and several other children are in Miss Caroline’s class the first day of the school year. The text about which you ask reads, in context, as follows:
_[Miss Caroline] “…Sit back down, please, Burris.”
_[Scout as narrator] “…and the moment she said it I knew she had made a serious mistake. The boy’s condescension flashed to anger.”
_[Burris Ewell] …”You try and make me, missus.”
_[Chuck Little] …”Let him go, ma’am…He’s a mean one, a hard-down mean one. He’s liable to start somethin‘, and there’s some little folks here.”
_[SCOUT AS NARRATOR] “He was among the most diminutive of men, but when Burris Ewell turned toward him, Little Chuck’s right hand went to his pocket…”
_[CHUCK LITTLE] “Watch your step, Burris…I’d soon’s kill you as look at you. Now go home.”
_[Scout as narrator] “Burris seemed to be afraid of a child half his height, and Miss Caroline took advantage of his indecision…”
_[Miss Caroline] “Burris, go home. If you don’t I’ll call the principal…I’ll have to report this, anyway.”
ANSWER:
The quote (i.e., “Watch your step, Burris…I’d soon’s kill you as look at you. Now go home.”) is said by CHUCK LITTLE (referred to by Scout as LITTLE CHUCK LITTLE), a polite student in Ms. Caroline’s class. He is speaking to BURRIS EWELL, a son of Bob Ewell and a student in Miss Caroline’s class during this first day.
The text within which the quote appears is attributable to SCOUT AS NARRATOR.
Good luck!
