While Jem is resting, Atticus, Mr. Heck Tate, Boo, and Scout
gather on the front porch. Mr. Tate discusses what has happened. Atticus maintains that he will
not cover up what Jem has done, but Mr. Tate tries to explain that Jem couldn't have killed Mr.
Ewell. Both Atticus and Mr. Tate use idioms in their speech.

Atticus
says:

thank you from the bottom of my heart

to show his sincere gratitude, since he thinks Mr. Tate is trying
to protect Jem. Mr. Tate, however, is thinking of someone else. He says:

Theres a black boy dead for no reason, and the man responsible for
its dead. Let the dead bury the dead this time, Mr. Finch. Let the dead bury the dead.

Mr. Tate's dialogue also uses repetition to emphasize his point. He
repeats the"let the dead bury the dead," with additional repetition of the word
"dead."

"as." This comparison emphasizes how dark it was outside.

responds:

mockingbird, wouldnt it?
