Atticus, a figure of law and justice, is their main role model to help them distinguish right from wrong. Overall, these motifs contribute to Scout and Jem's coming of age.

PARAGRAPH:
Compassion and Forgiveness are two important motifs in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. They help Jem and Scout understand the citizens of Maycomb from different perspectives. Forgiveness connects society together in a closer way. Compassion assists people to see the sympathy that another person may value. All in all, they are two motifs that focus on bringing the community together.
