"You never really understand a person until you ... climb into his skin and walk around in it"(Atticus, p. 33)Write a response to the advice Atticus gives to Scout. You may write in any style. For example, your response could be a personal reflection, a creative piece, or a discussion of this idea.
Scout was wondering about school issues when Atticus gave some life changing advice which let Scout learn to fully understand someone before you judge them. This advice was so important because of the knowledge of Atticus and the relevance of his words. Another excellent thing about this advice is that it encourages Scout to think about each aspect of her life and consider a logical approach to her problems. This guidance would have been concrete-set in Scout’s mind and would have brought out the best in her throughout her everyday life.

Journal Entry 1
You are a black person living in Maycomb. write a journal entry when you hear that Tom Robinson has been arrested.
It’s bad enough with them always staring at you, but when you are individualised and accused of a crime you didn’t do just because of your colour, that’s just unfair. Its not only unfair to us but when our people are always being targeted, I always feel in danger and I am often fearing for my life. In a society like ours, where your social ranking is wholly dependant on your colour, I am strongly against the arrest of Tom Robinson for a crime he didn’t commit.
