The three life lessons that come to mind are racism‚ injustice‚ and don’t judge others based on their appearance. On page 144‚ Scout was talking to Atticus about people calling her father a “nigger-lover”

THE NIGHT THE POWER WENT OUT! It was a dark rainy night; the rain came down hard‚ sheet upon sheet‚ of bone chilling rain.
