Ch. 21: Explain Reverend Sykes’ statement, “Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father’s passin’.”
He made this comment to jean because he wanted her to show respect for what Atticus had done to help protect Tom Robinson. Standing Up for someone when they walk by means you are showing respect for something this person has done. Because Atticus really did an amazing thing by standing up for this man when no one else cared to do so. He even knew he was going to lose but he took a risk and did it anyways because he knew it was ultimately the right thing thing to do no matter the circumstance.

I agree entirely. By asking Scout to stand up, showed that he respected Attitcus and wanted to make ti known to her that he was doing a great thing.
