FIVE GREAT WISDOMS from To Kill a Mockingbird –
4. I'm not a very good man, sir, but I am sheriff of Maycomb County. Lived in this town all my life an' I'm goin' on forty-three years old. Know everything that's happened here since before I was born. There's a black boy dead for no reason, and the man responsible for it's dead. Let the dead bury the dead this time, Mr. Finch. Let the dead bury the dead. Pg. 290 (Sherriff Tate)
In this quote, Maycomb County’s Sheriff decides to get involved with the incident with Jem, Scout, Boo, and Bob. On their way home, Jem and Scout Finch get attacked by a man named Bob Ewell. After breaking an arm, Jem becomes unconscious and right before Bob hurts little Scout, Boo Radley saves her. In the process, Boo stabs Bob with a kitchen knife. Boo helps Jem and Scout home and that night Atticus finds out about the attack. He thinks that Jem did it, but Sheriff convinces him it was Boo. When the truth comes out, Atticus wants to have a case, but the Sheriff says that the dead will bury the dead. This is because Bob Ewell just got a black man killed. As a result, the dead buried the dead and the children were saved. Boo Radley finally came out of his house.
