I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is Atticus shooting the rabid dog symbolic of?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Carolyn Jones argues that the dog represents prejudice within the town of Maycomb, and Atticus, who waits on a deserted street to shoot the dog, must fight against the town's racism without help from other white citizens.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
