"Mr. Cunningham is basically a good man. He has blind spots along with the rest of us...a mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know...it took an eight year old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it? That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human" (157).

Journal Prompt - Tell a story about a time when you were functioning with the "mob mentality" like Walter Cunningham. What did you do that you normally wouldn't have done, but because you were with others it seemed okay at the time? What was the outcome?
