To Kill a Mockingbird/Tear Jerker

• A good place to start would be "Stand up, Miss Jean Louise, your father's passing."
  • Also counts as a Heartwarming Moments.
• Another is "Hey, Boo."
  • And "Can you take me home?" from Boo to Scout. The idea that a grown man actually needs a little girl to take him from one house to the house next door because he can't go alone gets this troper every time.
• "In the name of God, do your duty." That entire speech gets this troper teary, actually.
• Scout's final realization, when standing on the Radley porch and seeing the events as they unfolded through Boo's eyes.
• "I don't know, but they did it. They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do - seems that only children weep."
• The film: I know I cried when Scout talked to Mr. Cunningham in the lynch mob, when the black community stood up as Atticus left the court room even though he lost the case, and even harder when the reverend told Scout to "stand up, miss Jean Louise, your father's passin'", when Atticus receives the news that Tom Robinson has been killed and tries to convince himself the deputy sheriff didn't murder him, when Tom's father slouches into the house, moments after hearing his son is dead, being ordered around and called 'boy' by the man primarily responsible, and when Atticus, a man so fiercely protective of his children, trusts Boo Radley, a mute shut-in with a violent reputation, enough to leave him alone in a room with Scout and an unconscious Jem.
