I mumbled that I was sorry and retired meditating upon my crime." Page 17 This quote shows how Scout’s teacher is mad at her because she knows how to read instead of being proud. It shows how closed minded some people in Maycomb were.

"Putting his life 's history on display for the edification of the neighborhood. '
Jem seemed to swell a little. 'I didn 't say we were doin ' that, I didn 't say it! '
Atticus grinned dryly. 'You just told me, ' he said. 'You stop this nonsense right now, every one of you. '" Page 49 Atticus is telling his kids that the Radleys are not bad people and they shouldn’t be made fun of.

Chapter 6
"Then I saw the shadow. It was the shadow of a man with a hat on. At first I thought it was a tree, but there was no wind blowing, and tree trunks never walked. The back porch was bathed in moonlight, And the shadow, crisp and toast, moved across the porch towards Jem." Page 53 The kids think the shadowy man is Boo, and they are really scared of him without even meeting him in person.
Chapter 7
"As Atticus once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem 's skin and walk around in it: if I had gone alone to the Radley Place

    she has to remember to judge people on their intentions rather than their actions, and put herself into the other person's shoes in order to understand them best. The chapter establishes that Atticus can relate to all kinds of people, including poor farm children. The last sentence of the chapter, "Atticus was right," applies not only to his prediction that Jem will come down from his tree house if left alone, but also to most issues of character judgment. Atticus's opinions can usually be trusted, and he is convinced of the importance of dealing fairly and reasonably with all people, no matter what the…

    With this word, Atticus encourages Scout to think about the impact that all of her friends and neighbors had on her life. In addition, Atticus is shown to have a kind, patient tone, which emphasizes his role as a father figure in this book. With this quote, readers can understand the malevolence that is being shown towards the Finch family due to the Tom Robinson case. However, when Scout is upset about her neighbors’ disrespectful comments regarding this case, Atticus reminds her that they are not her enemies but rather, her friends and Maycomb County is still their home. Most of all, this quote foreshadows the building tension that is to come as the court trial for the Tom Robinson case…

    “Burris Ewell, remember? He just goes to school the first day. The truant lady reckons she’s carried out the law when she gets his name on the roll-”.(Lee 30). She shouldn’t have compared herself to Burris Ewell because the Ewells have a much more difficult and different life from her own. “Atticus said the Ewells had been the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations. None of them had done an honest day’s work in his recollection. They were people, but they lived like animals.” (Lee 31). Atticus is telling Scout that she shouldn’t not go to school and think just because someone else doesn’t show up to school doesn’t mean she should do that and think it's right. She should take this opportunity that others don’t…

    Chapter 1Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. . . . There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.…

    The ideas of trying to lure Boo Radley out of his beloved home contained flawed thinking but bravery intermingled which made the efforts comical and exciting for Jem and the others. Particularly during the incident outside of the Maycomb’s jail, Jem showed bravery when he felt like something was amiss with Atticus. “‘I’ve just got this feeling,’ Jem said, ‘just this feeling.’” (169)When the Robinson case came to court, Jem exhibited calmness and stamina throughout the whole trial. Jem revealed great courage by desiring to participate and endure hearing the profane language used toward Tom Robinson. Throughout the story, Jem displays bravery in even the slightest ways for his young…

    That however, was just one life lesson Scout had to learn. The quote, “Never judge a book by its cover is quite similar to the quote that is needed for Scout to learn this life lesson. “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. (Atticus, pg.30)” The life lesson and the meaning of the quote is that you should never assume, always be considerate, and try to feel someone else’s feelings. Scout had learned this when complaining to Atticus about her new teacher. Ms. Maudie also had part in this when she said, “Still think your father can’t do anything? Still ashamed of him? (Ms. Maudie, pg. 98)” In this situation, Scout is feeling ashamed that her father is not like the rest, until she learns Atticus was gifted with marksmanship, unlike some other men in Maycomb County.…

    Also, Atticus has another good point for scout when she comes home and starts complaining about school. He says, “‘-you never really understand a person until you climb into their skin and walk around in it.’” (Lee 39) He teaches that you shouldn’t judge someone before you get to know them because they could be going through something you don’t know about and it doesn’t make them lower than you. They are still equal to you, they are still a person.…
