To Kill a Mockingbird
When Reverend Sykes closes the door to the church and doesn't let anyone out until the right amount of money is raised for Helen Robinson, what is the main idea we are supposed to get from that?
He is an authoritarian preacher who is used to getting his way, no matter what

He knows that people don't want to help Helen because of the charges against Tom
