Important Scene

The important scene I picked started on page 95. It’s the scene where there is a mad dog coming down the street and they pick Atticus to shoot it because he has the best shot. This scene is important to the book because Scout and Jem are worried that their dad can’t do anything and they are starting to get embarrassed because he is being a lawyer for a black person.  When Scout asks Miss Maudie why Atticus never told her that he could shoot so good, Miss Maudie said, when people have a gift to do something better then someone else, they don’t show it off. In the end, this scene showed that Atticus has many talents and he keeps them hidden from everybody.
