The fork in the road represents choice. Every day we are faced with an array of choices: up or down, left or right, in or out, "to be or not to be" if you will. These choices shape who we are and who we will become. These characters are flooded with crucial choices: to go with the crowd or stand alone, fight or flight, and most importantly, to do what is right or what is easy.
We have observed some kinds of choices these characters are prepared to make, Atticus chose to do what was right when he was faced with Tom Robinson's case and Jem chose to fight (stay) rather than run when he was faced with the choice to stand with Atticus against the mob or go home to safety.
