To Kill A Mockingbird

"' You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view'" (page 30, from To Kill A Mockingbird). This is a very good quote from Harper Lee's, novel To Kill A Mockingbird, because in this novel the people of Maycomb County are very prejudice, and this is a lesson that Atticus Finch, popular lawyer, and caring father, tries to teach his children. In, To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee explains that …

…has to try and see a situation from the other person's point of view, to avoid making many unfair judgments. One should always hear both sides of a situation, in order to figure out a fair solution. A lot of the time, people don't stop to understand a person, but are quick to make stereotypical judgments about them. To really understand a person, "stand in his shoes and walk around in them."
