To Kill a MockingBird Quote Help.Meaning of Quote?

• Im Reading To Kill a MockingBird for English This Year.iLove This Book.We have a Packet to complete but Its based on this Quote.Can Someone Please Define This Quote "Dont you go near that dog, you understand? Dont go near him he's just as dangerou dead as alive. (Page 128) Chapter 10. How does this quote Connect to Racism Thank You For the Help

• Answer:

  I haven't read the book in quite some time, but it seems the speaker feels that the dog will cause harm while alive through means of attack, and in death through means of disease. Likewise, racism holds to this in a sense, whether it is acted upon or kept contained, as long as it exists it poses a threat either way. While the dog is depicted as alive or dead, racism is being depicted as active actions versus passive action.
