In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, does the text argue that there is a link between honesty and morality? Explain.

Certainly this book talks about the connection between honesty and morality. Atticus lives his life as an example of this. He sees truth and morality as the premise of his practice of law. Atticus notes that the law is the last equalizer of men: honesty and morality are the cornerstones of what Atticus loves about the law:

"You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women—black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing, and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire." ch 20
