Not mentioned by others....but the ending of TO KILL A MOCKINGB IRD when
Scout sees Bo Raley behind the door....gets me every time....I don't even know
exactly why I weep so deeply at that moment....and of coarse...just a little
later...when the camera moves back through the window...showing Atticus
sitting on the edge of the bed..."still being there in the morning"....Gets me
every time....even now as I write this.
